Quotes 

• [first lines]

  Captain Andy Anderson : *I* haven't read Hooper, *Constable*.

  Herman Kopak : You... haven't... read... Hooper? Yes, sir.

  Captain Andy Anderson : You have an appointment? With whom?

  Herman Kopak : With my dance teacher, sir. I'm learnin' to do The Twist.

  Captain Andy Anderson : The Twist?

  Herman Kopak : Yes sir. You see, I feel that no top police officer is socially acceptable unless he...

  Captain Andy Anderson : Get out of here before I twist your head off!

  Captain Andy Anderson : [to Linc]  Health food, palm readers, psychology and now The Twist!
