- Officer Bill Gannon: Have you been smoking marijuana?
- Paul Shipley: Marijuana's illegal, I know that.
- Sergeant Joe Friday: That's right.
- Paul Shipley: For now. In a couple of years, things may change, when all the kids grow up and start wearing ties, and going to the polls, marijuana's gonna be like liquor, packaged and taxed and sold right off the shelf.
- Officer Bill Gannon: I doubt it, Mr Shipley.
- [Marijuana was eventually legalized in California]
- [a young couple let their toddler drown in a bathtub while they were stoned]
- Officer Bill Gannon: Joe, you can handle this for a minute, can't you?
- Friday: You all right?
- Officer Bill Gannon: First time since I've been on the job...
- Friday: Yeah?
- Officer Bill Gannon: I think I'm gonna be sick.
- [hands the bag of marijuana to Friday and runs out of the room]
