Officer Jim Reed : [about Malloy changing his mind to Reed's perspective without prompting] Pete, you know sometimes you really confuse me.
Officer Pete Malloy : Ah, you don't believe everything I tell you, do you?
Officer Jim Reed : Pretty much, yeah.
Officer Pete Malloy : That's right, you should... except when I'm talking through my hat!

Officer Pete Malloy : [about not going along with Reed's idea to purchase a specific Christmas gift requested by a little boy] I guess I sound pretty hard-hearted, huh.
Officer Jim Reed : No, I understand, uh, Mr. Kerr, the Mains, I guess they all need a lot of things, too.
Officer Pete Malloy : That's right. Besides, you can't let yourself get all bent out of shape every time you see somebody unhappy on this job. Get involved up to a point. You go beyond that you go screamin' up the walls.
Officer Jim Reed : Yeah, I guess you're right.

Harvey Ward : [emphatically about what he wants for Christmas] What I want is a *dump* truck!
Officer Pete Malloy : No kidding.
Harvey Ward : [emphatically] A yellow *dump* truck!
Officer Jim Reed : What would you do with it?
Harvey Ward : Put stuff in it, and raise up the back end. Dump it out!
Officer Pete Malloy : [to Reed in mock condescension] Even you oughta know that.
Harvey Ward : We got a pile of dirt out back and I'm gonna *dump* that.
Officer Jim Reed : [knowing that there probably isn't such a toy in their pile of gifts] Supposed Santa brings you something else?
Harvey Ward : [shaking his head negatively] A *dump* truck!
Officer Pete Malloy : Well, there'an awful lot of other nice toys.
Harvey Ward : A *dump* truck! A yellow *dump* truck!
