Capt. Barney Miller : That is a defeatist attitude
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : No, I can take it. I mean, let Yemana, and Fish, and Harris go out and lead the war against crime. I'll stay there, and I'll type and file and I'll so my job. And I'll be the best Third Grade cop for the rest of my natural life. It's okay with me.
