- Kojak: [dripping with sarcasm] Hey look, Deidre, I'm sorry I missed your coming out party. I hear you were crowned Miss Silicone, is that right?
- Solly DeChico: Hey, Kojak, did you come here to break in a nightclub act or was there something special you wanted?
- Kojak: Hey, Counselor, you tell your client to have his mouth behave, or he's a prime candidate for a get well card.
- Solly DeChico: [raises voice] He threatened me! You heard that, he threatened me!
- Kojak: Greeks, they don't threaten. They utter prophecies.
- Dr. Grimaldi: Do you want it straight?
- Detective Benny Furore: I don't want it at all. I'd give anything for a ten-foot pole I didn't have to touch it with. It's the big casino, isn't it?
- Dr. Grimaldi: Advanced stomach cancer. Malignant and inoperable.
- Kojak: Hey, Benny, if it wasn't for you, Eddie Ryan would've had as much razzle-dazzle as a wet firecracker.
- [stands up]
- Detective Benny Furore: Is that what you think? Is that what you think Eddy Ryan was like? A grandstander? Well let me tell you something: Eddie Ryan had more guts than anyone on this island. What do you think got him killed?
- Kojak: Dumb got him killed. Dead is not guts. Dead is dumb.
- Eddie Ryan: Flora was asking for you. She wants to know how come she hasn't seen you anymore in the deli.
- Detective Benny Furore: Oh yeah? Well next time you see her tell her I'm on bivouac with a gorilla.
- Detective Benny Furore: Everything I eat tastes like old towel rolls, you know? These last couple of weeks my stomach feels like something crawled in it and died.
- Kojak: In the alley you couldn't see anything. And the alley was so dark you couldn't find your mouth with a $5 pizza.
- Kojak: [Benny shows up to work wearing outlandish clothes] What's the gag?
- Detective Benny Furore: What do you mean, what's the gag? You told me you wanted me to change my image.
- Kojak: Oh yeah, I forgot about that. So if I asked you to lose some weight, what would you do, cut off your left arm? You're three hours late and you show up looking like Zsa Zsa Gabor's Christmas tree!
- Ellen Ryan: I was going through his closet, looking for something to bury him in.
- [pours Benny a drink]
- Ellen Ryan: You know, he didn't have anything that you could really call a suit, heh. I can't lay him out in, eh, rhinestones and recycled blue jeans, can I?
- [hands the drink to Benny]
- Ellen Ryan: I mean he'd look like David Bowie.
- Detective Benny Furore: Why not? I mean, Eddie would dig that. Can you see the commissioner's face?
- [starts to laugh but his laughter soon turns to tears]
