- [Charlie Hume is on his way out to give a lecture to some high school journalism students. Donovan is making fun of some of Charlie's "visual aids."]
- Art Donovan: [Pulls out a reporter's notebook from the box] Hey, great! A book! That's what reporters write on!
- Lou Grant: Oh...
- Art Donovan: [Pulls out a roll of wire copy] And some wire copy. What reporters write from.
- Lou Grant: Oh...
- Charlie Hume: I figured one picture's worth a thousand words.
- Lou Grant: That's a hell of a thing to say in a room full of reporters.
- Arthur Locatelli: [armed with a search warrant] Now, which one is Mr. Rossi's desk?
- Lou Grant: Go to hell.
- Detective Rather: Eh Mr. Rossi, we wanna ask you a few questions. Eh...
- [pulls out his badge and shows it to Rossi]
- Detective Rather: Would you like to come along with us, please?
- Walt Krasner: Are you arresting Mr. Rossi?
- Detective Rather: Oh, no, we just wanna ask him a few questions.
- Lou Grant: I think you'd better arrest him, then.
- Joe Rossi: Lou, what are you doing?
- Lou Grant: Until you're arrested, they don't have to let you have an attorney. And they don't have to tell you what they're thinking of charging you with. Isn't that right, Walt?
- Walt Krasner: That's right, I'm afraid.
- Joe Rossi: Ok, arrest me.
- [holds up his arms]
- Billie Newman: Lou, how do I dress to cover either a Presidential dinner or a karate festival?
- Lou Grant: I don't know... Maybe a cocktail dress with a black belt?
