• Sgt. T.J. Hooker : Stacy, the day you were born, your father was somewhere on a narcotics stakeout and couldn't be reached. On the first day of your life, I was the first one to hold you. In addition to your experience, I gotta tell ya, I can't let you go out on the street and be the target for some deranged animal.

• Officer Vince Romano : Sleeping like a pretzel is one thing, but sleeping like a pretzel when a Circus Burger does flip-flops in your belly is beyond the call of duty.

  Sgt. T.J. Hooker : Who said police work was easy?

• Officer Vince Romano : Hooker, the decoy situation. Sometimes it can't be ideal, but I think they're doing the right thing.

  Sgt. T.J. Hooker : That's the problem around here, Junior. Too many people who don't know are doing the thinking.

• Sgt. T.J. Hooker : Bartender, I'm looking for Carl Leland. I heard he hangs out here.

  Bartender : We serve drinks here, not information. You want a drink?

  Sgt. T.J. Hooker : I want Carl Leland.

  Bartender : Buzz off, cop.
