Sgt. Joe Friday : This is the city, Los Angeles, California. Some people claim it's a collection of suburbs, not a city at all. Others say that in ten years every city in America will look like Los Angeles does today. One thing's sure, it's a city that's not afraid to experiment, where the unusual is taken for granted. Five-thousand people move to Los Angeles every month.

[Friday is meeting one of the fur thieves in the hotel bar; his signal is that he's carrying a copy of the Sunday comics from the Los Angeles Times]
Floyd Sinclair : You always carry the comics section around with you?
Sgt. Joe Friday : Only when I need 'em.
Floyd Sinclair : You're early.
Sgt. Joe Friday : So are you.
Floyd Sinclair : You the buyer?
Sgt. Joe Friday : Man's up in the room.
Floyd Sinclair : You got the cash?
Sgt. Joe Friday : You got the merchandise?
Floyd Sinclair : Brought a sample.
Sgt. Joe Friday : We don't deal in samples.
Floyd Sinclair : I don't deal in hotel rooms.
Sgt. Joe Friday : You've got the fur that's burning a hole in your closet, not me, fella.
Floyd Sinclair : How do I know what I'll find in your room?
Sgt. Joe Friday : Not who, what.
Floyd Sinclair : Huh?
Sgt. Joe Friday : We can go a hundred thousand big ones.
Floyd Sinclair : How far did you bring the money?
Sgt. Joe Friday : K.C.
Floyd Sinclair : Know a guy named Andy Logan back there?
Sgt. Joe Friday : No, and you don't either. Now let's can that two-bit check-out routine and talk fur, or else you can take that box of rabbits you got there and amble on.
Floyd Sinclair : Take it easy.
Sgt. Joe Friday : You're the one that wants to unload. I didn't come here to listen to some punk who ate a big breakfast.
Floyd Sinclair : Just trying to play it close, that's all.
Sgt. Joe Friday : You play it any closer, it's gonna be behind you.
Floyd Sinclair : One more thing before we go to the room.
Sgt. Joe Friday : Yeah, what's that?
Floyd Sinclair : How do I know you and the man got that much money?
Sgt. Joe Friday : The same way we know you've got that much fur.
