"Barney Miller" Moonlighting (TV Episode 1977) - George Pentecost as Rev. Albert Carrey

Rev. Albert Carrey : Our church has been falling apart. It's going under, and I have been growing so depressed lately... I... You know... a couple weeks ago, I--I was walking down Fifth Avenue and, uh, I stopped in front of Saint Patrick's and I looked up and I saw those magnificent spires and I thought... "They really got it made baby." You know what I mean ? I mean, they got it all. You know what I mean ? I thought "Well, why them? I mean, why not us? Why? Why is it always them with the bells, and their tapestries and their works of art ?" I mean, what are we -- garbage. I mean, we all believe in the same things. We read the same books. We all say the same stuff, for crying out loud. We got a right.
Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich : Sorry about the profanity Reverend

Rev. Albert Carrey : Ah, you see, just because I'm a minister, everybody thinks they have to to protect me. It's not necessary.

Rev. Albert Carrey : All right, the hell with it
Rev. Albert Carrey : But this guy comes along and instead of donating stuff... He shows me how I can buy it from him and then sell it for a profit and keep the prices reasonable. Well, it... uh , worked like a charm. And the first thing you know, we got a whole lot of people coming in with a whole bunch of merchandise
