Dragnet Jack Webb "What Do They Pay You?"

Oooooh $1.87 a hour!! Are they hiring????

I think he means the CITY is going to blow about $20. He is going to earn it.

Not that the money's not well spent.

It's too bad that Hallmark will never have a Sergeant/714 LAPD Badge Christmas Ornament.

this guy doesnt take any shit

Does Joe really seem happy at his job? I mean to rattle off all those facts, who itemizes their deductions? One of the fastest talking actors of all-time.

he's all about the buisness!!!!!!!!

Dragnet was notorious for showing all the actors, suspects or police as smoking almost constantly(not surprising considering who some of the sponsers were). Mad magazine in the 1950's did a hilarious parody of the show and re-titled it "Dragged Net"--all the characters had at least 3 0r 4 cigarettes sticking out their ears, between fingers, etc etc...gotta love it.

Stacy Harris was the bad guy there. He and Jack were best friends.
Harris was in the first Dragnet, The Big Bomb.

How about this line:

Sgt Friday: Reads that way on the liquor license, but you've got the play.

Troy: Sure, I have the license in his name.

Sgt Friday: You're a loser. With your record they won't even give you license. You can't get a permit to breathe.

In movies these days. you coul'nt get a permit to pee on the sidewalk
