- Mondo Mabamba: Answer me this. Let one of you blue cats catch it and you all get excited. You really drop everything to go after a cop killer, don't you?
- Sergeant Joe Friday: You bet we do, but not just because he killed a friend of ours. Now you figure it. If a man shoots down an armed officer, do you think he'd hesitate to shoot down an unarmed citizen?
- Harry Wilson: Look at it this way. We register all our guns. A foreign enemy invades us. The same thing will happen here, as happens in country after country. The invading army just goes to the files, and then goes around confiscating all the weapons.
- [Here SERGEANT JOE FRIDAY and OFFICER BILL GANNON shake their heads, as if to say, "Jee-zum! What a moron!"]
- Harry Wilson: We'll be left defenseless! I want to protect my country!
- [Applause from the STUDIO AUDIENCE]
- Officer Bill Gannon: Do you really believe that might happen?
- Harry Wilson: You bet I do. Like I said, it's happened before in other parts of the world.
- Officer Bill Gannon: If that ever happens here in this nuclear age, I doubt if any of us will be around for any weapon collecting. Will we?
