    Frank: It's true what they say: Cops and women don't mix. It's like eating a spoonful of Drano; sure, it'll clean you out, but it'll leave you hollow inside.

    Jane: I've heard police work is dangerous.
    Frank: It is. That's why I carry a big gun.
    Jane: Aren't you afraid it might go off accidentally?
    Frank: I used to have that problem.
    Jane: What did you do about it?
    Frank: I just think about baseball.
    _____________________________________
    Frank: It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
    Jane: Goodyear?
    Frank: No, the worst.

    Frank: Just think; next time I shoot someone, I could be arrested.

    Frank: It's fourth and fifteen and you're looking at a full-court press.

    Mayor: Now Drebin, I don't want any trouble like you had on the South Side last year, that's my policy.
    Frank: Well, when I see five weirdos, dressed in togas, stabbing a man in the middle of the park in full view of a hundred people, I shoot the bastards, that's *my* policy!
    Mayor: That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of 'Julius Caesar,' you moron! You killed five actors! Good ones!
    ________________________________________
    Ed: A hunch won't stand up in court, Frank. What we need are hard facts.
    Frank: Look, Ed. Ludwig was the only one besides us who knew Nordberg was still alive. Next thing you know, some thug tries to knock him off in the hospital.
    Ed: Yeah, but going into Ludwig's office without a warrant, you're taking a big chance.
    Frank: I know. You take a chance getting up in the morning, crossing the street or sticking your face in a fan.
    ________________________________________
    Frank: Jane, since I've met you, I've noticed things that I never knew were there before... birds singing, dew glistening on a newly formed leaf, stoplights.

    Frank: Wilma, I promise you; whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest one minute until he's behind bars. Now, let's grab a bite to eat.

    Frank: Interesting... almost as interesting as the photographs I saw today.
    Jane: I was young! I needed the work!

    Jane: [producing a stuffed beaver] Thank you. I just had it stuffed.

    [Frank Drebin is emptying out his files after being kicked off the force]
    Frank: Hey! The missing evidence in the Kelner case! My God, he really was innocent!
    Ed: He went to the chair two years ago, Frank.
    Frank: Well, uh...
    [Frank Drebin quickly shoves the evidence back into the file cabinet]

    Frank: Oh, and one more thing... I faked every orgasm!
    Jane: [heartbroken] Oh, Funny Face!

    Jane: I wanted you to know, now, I've loved you since the first day I met you, and I'll never stop. I'm a very lucky woman.
    Frank: So am I...

    Frank: No, thank you, I don't wear them.

    Ed: Doctors say that Nordberg has a 50/50 chance of living, though there's only a 10 percent chance of that.
    ________________________________________
    Ludwig: So they were able to get him to the hospital in time?
    Frank: Yes, he's in the intensive care ward at Our Lady of the Worthless Miracle.

    Frank: I've got nine more.

    Nurse #2: Mrs. Nordberg, I think we can save your husband's arm. Where would you like it sent?
    ________________________________________
    Mrs. Nordberg: Oh, my poor Nordberg! He was such a good man, Frank. He never wanted to hurt anyone. Who would do such a thing?
    Frank: It's hard to tell. A gang of thugs, a blackmailer, an angry husband, a gay lover...
    ________________________________________
    Frank: Protecting the Queen's safety is a task that is gladly accepted by Police Squad. No matter how silly the idea of having a queen might be to us, as Americans, we must be gracious and considerate hosts.
    ________________________________________
    Frank: I've finally found someone I can love - a good, clean love... without utensils.
    ________________________________________
    [Frank recalls a prior love]
    Frank: I'd known her for years. We used to go to all the police functions together. Ah, how I loved her, but she had her music. I think she had her music. She'd hang out with the Chicago Male Chorus and Symphony. I don't recall her playing an instrument or being able to carry a tune. Yet she was on the road 300 days of the year. In fact, I bought her a harp for Christmas. She asked me what it was.

    Ed: You want to take a dinghy?
    Frank: No, I took care of that at the press conference.

    Mayor Barkley: Entering without a search warrant, destroying property, arson, sexual assault with a concrete dildo...?
    ________________________________________
    Frank: A good cop - needlessly cut down by some cowardly hoodlums.
    Ed: That's no way for a man to die.
    Frank: No... you're right, Ed. A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go!
    Wilma Nordberg: [cries] Oh... Frank. This is terrible!
    Ed: Don't you worry, Wilma. Your husband is going to be alright. Don't you worry about anything. Just think positive. Never let a doubt enter your mind.
    Frank: He's right, Wilma. But I wouldn't wait until the last minute to fill out those organ donor cards.
    [Wilma cries again]
    Ed: What I'm trying to say is that, Wilma, as soon as Nordberg is better, he's welcome back at Police Squad.
    Frank: ...Unless he's a drooling vegetable. But I think that's only common sense.
    [Wilma cries again]

    Ed: [after Ludwig has been hit with a poison Dart, fallen off a building, run over by a car and a steam roller and trampled by a marching band] Oh, Frank! It's horrible. It's so horrible!
    Frank: [comforts Ed] I know...
    Ed: My father went the same way...

    Am I missing a joke here? A thread about Leslie Nielsen and films about gladiators, without a single clip of Leslie Nielsen in a film about gladiators.

    Wasn't it Peter Graves who said "Do you like movies about gladiators"?

    This is the second forum I've seen this morning where somebody's mixed them up.

    That's a shame, very funny, made some crappy films tolerable and I still enjoy watching Forbidden Planet every so often.
