• Capt. Barney Miller : Where'd you get this?

  Becker the Exterminator : Uh, the officer told me to bring it up here. He said you guys were looking for it.

  Capt. Barney Miller : Where'd you find it?

  Becker the Exterminator : In the basement, behind the boiler. I was getting ready to set a trap, when I saw this great big pack rat down there.

  Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Pack rat. I should've guessed.

  Becker the Exterminator : He had it stacked against the wall, and he was eating off this one.

  Det. Del Vecchio : Oh, that explains it. Rat heisted the grass.

  Becker the Exterminator : You don't believe it?

  Det. Del Vecchio : It's my face.

  Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Hey, look, in my building, they come big. I mean, they... They come big enough to move the furniture.

  Becker the Exterminator : That's right. This one stood up on his hind legs and gritted his teeth at me.

  Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Yeah, I know that one. Heh.

  Becker the Exterminator : Well, I picked up a shovel and I clobbered him,and he just laid therewith a smile on his face.

  Capt. Barney Miller : Okay, Del Vecchio. Satisfied?

  Det. Del Vecchio : Absolutely.When I get downtown, I'll explain it to them exactly the way it happened. Let me see now. You guys had a rat. It stole the grass. The rat ate the grass. The rat didn't like the grass,so the rat sent it back. See you, guys.

  Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Think he believes it?

  Capt. Barney Miller : Would you?
