Police Sgt. Riggs : You sent for me, Skipper?
Capt. Daniel Box : Yeah. I just had a call from Lt. Blake.
Police Sgt. Riggs : Blake? Oh, the state trooper from out in Nevada.
Capt. Daniel Box : He's not out in Nevada. He's right here in New York.
Police Sgt. Riggs : What's he doin' here?
Capt. Daniel Box : Well, he didn't say, but he'll be over here in a few minutes.
Police Sgt. Riggs : You reckon he's moseyin' back here to teach us tenderfeet how to track down a varmint like this here Joe Belden?
Capt. Daniel Box : Don't laugh, Riggs. He's apt to do just that.

Police Sgt. Riggs : You're the first real live Westerner I've ever met, Lieutenant... outside of my wife's second cousin over in West Orange, New Jersey.
Capt. Daniel Box : Riggs is what's known as a professional New Yorker. He's never been west of the Hudson River.
Police Sgt. Riggs : Well, what's the point. As they used to say in vaudeville, after New York, everything else is Bridgeport.

[Riggs tries to warn Blake about the mean streets of New York]
Police Sgt. Riggs : You know, New York is quite a bit different from those wide-open spaces.
Lt. Rod Blake : Yes, that's right, Sergeant. For example, do you know what a cougar is?
Police Sgt. Riggs : Kind of a mountain lion, I guess, isn't it?
Lt. Rod Blake : Yeah. Did you ever hunt one?
Police Sgt. Riggs : Here in New York? Nope. Why?
Lt. Rod Blake : Well, once you have, chasing rats won't bother you too much.
