Inspector Frank Luger : Afternoon, men. Hi Woj. Hi Ron. Hi Barney. I just got word down at headquarters -- that stickup at the Hamilton Bank. It says two hoodlums were killed in the attempt -- is that about it ?
Capt. Barney Miller : It was unavoidable. They were heavily armed. They had hostages. Chano had no choice
Inspector Frank Luger : No, huh ? Eh... Well, Chano, so you went in. You did what you had to do, huh? Don't worry I know how you feel. Why don't you take the rest of the afternoon off ? Go see a moving picture.
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Uh...
Inspector Frank Luger : Yeah, sure. That's what I used to do.I'd go to Radio City Music Hall see a good movie, good stage show -- you know, them Rockettes with the legs
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Inspector, maybe I just better stick around here working
Inspector Frank Luger : Well, some of the guys like to do it that way, yeah. You know, they like to get right back in there again before freeze up. You do whatever feels right, Whatever works for you. Some of them Rockettes have been there 30,40 years at the music hall. Not the same ones, of course, you know. They have to replace them from time to time. The legs-- the legs that goes on them first
Inspector Frank Luger : Yeah, I know
Inspector Frank Luger : Chano, I want to tell you, you did a hell of a swell job. Incidentally, if it's going to make you feel any better, you'll probably get a medal for it. I'm going to put you up myself personally.
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : A medal ? Hear that Barney. Left here this morning , I was nobody. Two shot later I'm going to get a medal. You here that guys. No sense staying around here, huh? May as well go to Radio City Music Hall, maybe pick up a few Rockettes, a bottle of champagne and celebrate. A medal, huh? How do you like that ?
