Inspector Frank Luger : Sure, what can I do for you?
Inspector Frank Luger : I've been offered this job with the parole board Barney and I've kind of been debating in my mind as to whether I should take it or not
Capt. Barney Miller : Parole Board, you should be flattered by the offer.
Inspector Frank Luger : I am... I am Barney. All them important cases to discuss, you know, and evaluating the pros and the cons... Pardon the pun. All them people in jail, filing their petitions to get out again, you know to join us in the society. Then I guess, I got to take it. I mean, someone's got to keep them vermin behind bars. What do you think ?
Capt. Barney Miller : I think we need you right here Inspector. Oh yeah, the more I think about it.
