Quotes 

• Benson DuBois : Frank, I know how you feel believe me. It's always tough sticking your neck out for the guy next door. But when one guy does it, he sets an example for the others. Then pretty soon there's another guy who's willing to give it a try, and then another, and another, and before you know it everybody's reaching out to help his brother. But none of that can happen, Frank, unless one day, one guy, one little guy, one frightened, heavyset guy, stands up to be counted and says, Okay world you can count on me! I'll give it a try! I'll give it a chance!

  Frank Cooper : I feel like I just watched an episode of Lou Grant! Come on! Let's go get him.

• Benson DuBois : Frank, what you are you doing?

  Frank Cooper : Just trying to be a good neighbor.

  Benson DuBois : By scaring me half to death. How'd you get in here?

  Frank Cooper : Your burglar forgot to lock up when he left.

• Frank Cooper : No, I'm not going to stand up in front of some vicious thug and announce to the world I saw him committing a crime. If I wanted to kill myself, I'd just keep my shop open after dark.
