Quotes 

• Capt. Barney Miller : Glad to have been of service.

  Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Hold on a minute Mr. Sharp, you're not going to walk out of here as if nothing happened.

  Horace Sharp : Captain, I am merely preserving the conditions of the tontine.

  Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Look, why don't you have them split it ?

  Horace Sharp : Because they can't.

  Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Why not ?

  Horace Sharp : Because I said so... Actually, that would constitute a breach of contract and defeat the purpose of the tontine... to say nothing of making a rather nasty blotch on my record.

  Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Oh well, now, we can't have that, can we ?

  Horace Sharp : No, and we shan't have that, shall we ?

  Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Barn ?

  Capt. Barney Miller : Mr. Sharp, look, uh, for the sake of all concerned, I think we better start working on some suitable compromise.

  Horace Sharp : Captain, there is no compromise.

  Capt. Barney Miller : Then let's find one, because I am not about to turn this man loose just so he could jump off a building ,so that his cousin here can buy a couple of lousy sweaters and an electric blanket.

  Horace Sharp : Oh, that's precious, $700,000 and all he wants is a romp through Woolworth's.
