"Homicide: Life on the Street" Just an Old Fashioned Love Song (TV Episode 1998) - Richard Belzer as Detective John Munch

Det. John Munch : It's like this dream I had when I was a kid: first day of school, wandering around the halls, looking for the right classroom. People are staring at me, and this girl I had a crush on - Helen Rosenbaum - she's laughing and pointing at me, and I realized I didn't get dressed. I'm buck naked. All I have on is my shoes and socks.

Det. Meldrick Lewis : Black socks?

Det. John Munch : Argyle.

Det. Meldrick Lewis : I had that dream.

Det. John Munch : Everybody has that dream. It's the human condition in a nutshell.
Det. John Munch : Bayliss, don't give me any zen song and dance about how money is an illusion, taxes are an illusion, the IRS is an illusion.

Det. Tim Bayliss : On the contrary, John, money is Mara, the Destroyer, the Evil One.
Det. John Munch : You haven't experienced the Giardello summons, yet? The full force laser beam G-ray: strips varnish off furniture, enamel off teeth?
Det. John Munch : The Zapruder film's out on VHS and DVD, as if there's a choice.

Billie Lou Hatfield : DVD, definitely. Gotta have that freeze frame, stop action, enhancement capability.

Det. John Munch : One night after work, we should open a bottle of zinfandel and watch the Zapruder film frame by frame and see which ones are missing.

Billie Lou Hatfield : Twenty-six seconds of the most compelling footage ever filmed.

Det. John Munch : The woman of my dreams.
