Quotes 

  • Yemana : Then Fish runs in the alley and he leaps over us like one of those, what do you call those things in Africa that run and leap in the air?

    Captain William Donnelly : That doesn't matter, Detective.

    Yemana : Now it doesn't matter; but in 1942...

  • Yemana : [when he's stoned on the brownies with the hashish]  Barney, Barney, Barney, is your mother from Killarney?

    [a minute later] 

    Yemana : What do you say we guys go down to the beach, and shoot some clams?

  • Yemana : [eating Chinese take out with pencils]  Just call your insurance company. Yes. Don't mention it.

    Wojo : Well, why don't you tell him that?

    Yemana : I like my image.

  • Barney Miller : [searching the files for a bombing suspect]  Who else you got?

    Yemana : [looks at file folder]  Sheldon "Boom-Boom" Hockster.

    Yemana : You'd be amazed at how many of these guys are named "Boom-Boom".

  • Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Hey, Barney, do you think Kelly's just a big mouth? Or, is he really going to try to make trouble?

    Barney Miller : I think Kelly is just a big mouth... who's really going to try to make trouble.

    Yemana : He's probably after me. Kelly's always had a thing about Orientals being on the police force. He says we screw up the look of the Saint Patrick's Day Parade.
