Capt.
Barney Miller [played
by Hal Linden]: [to Fish] “What
about the night shift? Are they going to make it?”
Det.
Phil Fish [played by
Abe Vigoda]: “I don't think so. The guys who live on Long Island can't get
to Manhattan.”
Barney:
“Well, that means the guys who live in Manhattan can't get to Long Island.”
Fish:
“Right.”
Barney:
“Why don't we call Long Island and have them keep the guys who can't get to
Manhattan, and we'll keep the guys who can't get to Long Island?”
Fish:
[shakes his head] “They tried it once
and they didn't like it. It made too much sense.”— Barney Miller, Season 1,
Episode 3, “Snow Job,” original air
