David Janssen: Harry Orwell

Quotes 

• Harry Orwell : I hadn't been surprised when I got a call from Sarah Webber because Lt. Trench had called me first and asked me to do him a favor. He was worried about her. You know, for Trench that was really quite sentimental. He said he didn't want any DOAs on his turf.

• Harry Orwell : [Enters a florist shop]  You wouldn't happen to be Miss Webber?

  Sara Webber : I certainly would.

  Harry Orwell : Yeah, Harry Orwell.

  Sara Webber : Oh, Mr. Orwell. Thank you for coming. Umm. Well, I've seen you. I've kept my part of the bargain; so would you like to buy a plant?

  Harry Orwell : I see. You didn't want to make the phone call. You don't trust me. You don't want to talk to me.

  Sara Webber : I like the way you put it.

  Harry Orwell : Lt. Trench did say you had a limited sense of self preservation.

  [Shrugs and turns to walk away] 

  Harry Orwell : Say hello to Mack the Knife.

• Harry Orwell : Sara, this is... uh... Sue. Sue, this is... uh... Sara. Sara's going to stay over for a couple of days.

  Sue Ingham : How nice.

  Harry Orwell : Hey... uh... Sue's my next door neighbor.

  Sara Webber : How convenient.

  Harry Orwell : Oh! Here they are. Fuses... got 'em. There you go.

  Sue Ingham : Thank you. I'll just go home now and stumble around in the dark and try to find a place to put it without electrocuting myself. Goodbye.

  Sara Webber : She's pretty.

  Harry Orwell : Uh... yeah. Well, she is... uh you know... sort of the kid next door type. She stops by for a cup of coffee every now and then.

  Sara Webber : Next time you have a cup, better check for arsenic.
