- Gallagher: [having gotten a description from a tipsy couple] The killer was a tall, short guy. Somewhere between a 110 and 250 pounds. One eye brown, one blue and the third one green.
- Leona Crown: [as she buys a newspaper from a blind vendor] Hey, Johnny. When are you going to listen to some good sounds?
- [She changes his radio station then walks on]
- Ken Dimin: [as he approaches Leona on the bus bench] Bad girl. You're a greedy girl. You made a million dollar booboo.
- [He pulls out a silencer and shoots Leona twice in the chest]
- Ken Dimin: [to Mickey] You know, you could blow up the Empire State Building complete and you could leave the tenth floor hanging, but your brains wouldn't fill your nose!
- Joannie Garrity: Where'd the dress come from?
- Lt. Theo Kojak: Property. It was evidence in a wife-beating case. I don't know if she wouldn't put it on or wouldn't take it off. Women are funny.
- Lt. Theo Kojak: Oh! Hi, cannon.
- [picks up a gun off the ground]
- Lt. Theo Kojak: Hm. I think you and I have met before, cannon. Maybe on a ballistics report on my desk. Do you suppose?
- Lt. Theo Kojak: It'll be morning in an hour. Before that, one of you is gonna start chirping. Did I say one of you? I'm gonna have a room full of canaries.
- Lt. Theo Kojak: [holding a photograph of Leona and a man hiding behind a menu] Look at the john. He's being so bashful. I wonder why? Terminal acne, maybe?
- Capt. Frank McNeil: [McNeil takes the photograph] Well, married men are sometimes camera-shy, have you noticed?
- Lt. Theo Kojak: Frequently. Can you make out the name on the menu?
- Capt. Frank McNeil: No, but then I can't even read the top line on an eye chart any more.
- Lt. Theo Kojak: Tell me about it.
- Lt. Theo Kojak: Como estais, amigo? Como estais?
- Det. Gomez: Muy bien. That's pretty good, lieutenant. You know, what you ought to do is get yourself a nice Spanish-speaking girl. It'll help you with the important words.
- Lt. Theo Kojak: Hey, take it from me, sonny, for the important things you don't need words.
- Joannie Garrity: What happened to that old timing I hear you brag about?
- Lt. Theo Kojak: Oh, well you see, eh, there was a bar mitzvah on the roof garden and it drew a cast of thousands.
- Lt. Theo Kojak: [on payphone] Yeah, hello, Sergeant. I need a black evening dress. Now don't be a wise guy. Besides, I don't fit into a size 12. That's right, it's for the Commissioner, he fits.
