Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer : What just happened here?
Jeff Blue : I'd say it was a domestic disturbance.
Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer : A domestic disturbance?
Jeff Blue : Yeah like on the Honeymooners. You remember how Ralph used to fight with Alice.
Det. Sgt. Halsey : I don't recollect Ralph using semi-automatic weapons.
Jane Blue : But Norton sometimes did. And Mrs. Manacotti on the third floor, wow what a temper.

Police Captain : The FBI fired Blue twice?

Police Captain : Why?
Sawyer : Well, Captain, there's all sorts of rumors.
Det. Sgt. Halsey : Tell him what he did in between.
Police Captain : I'm gonna hate this aren't I?
Sawyer : CIA.
Police Captain : Perfect!
Sawyer : Until they got on the band wagon and fired him too.
