- Pete Malloy: You know what this is?
- Jim Reed: Yes sir, it's a police car.
- Pete Malloy: This black and white patrol car has an overhead valve V8 engine. It develops 325 horsepower at 4800 RPM's. It accelerates from 0 to 60 in seven seconds; it has a top speed of 120 miles an hour. It's equipped with a multi-channeled DFE radio and an electronic siren capable of emitting three variables: wail, yelp, and alert. It also serves as an outside radio speaker and public address system. The automobile has two shotgun racks: one attached to the bottom portion of the front seat, one in the vehicle trunk. Attached to the middle of the dash, illuminated by a single bulb is a hot sheet desk, fastened to which you will always make sure is the latest one off the teletype before you ever roll.
- Jim Reed: Yes sir.
- Pete Malloy: It's your life insurance and mine. You take care of it and it'll take care of you.
- Jim Reed: Yes sir. You want me to drive?
- Pete Malloy: A wise man once said; great hazards accompany innovation.
- Jim Reed: Yeah. Who was that?
- Pete Malloy: Me!
- Jim Reed: You just have to know how to arrest them and still make them like you. We call it technique.
