- Joel Adrian: Lieutenant Kojak.
- [said as a greeting, right after hanging up on a distressed phone call, the end of which Kojak has eavesdropped as he's making this unannounced visit to Adrian's business, one of his mid-city parking lots]
- Lt. Theo Kojak: Problems?
- Joel Adrian: Problems?
- [then a forced, phony laugh]
- Joel Adrian: . How can a man who owns parking lots in this town have a problem? You drive an automobile; you gotta get out of it.
- [a rhetorical question next]
- Joel Adrian: Now, can you imagine the absurdity of paying two, three, five dollars - for the privilege of getting out of your own automobile?
