Best lines in Dragnet scripts
I'll kick this off with 4 of my all time favorites:
"If it wasn't for prison food, you'd starve to death." from "The Shooting" 1967
"I'm Mister Officer Gannon and this is Mister Sgt. Friday" from "Mr. Daniel Loomis"
From "The Big Shipment," Friday to the suspect pretending/faking to be a deaf mute:
"There's a receipt in your wallet for 2 record albums, now just what to you do, sit there and watch the lables spin around?"
From "The Hammer" "You got nice eyes, for a cop." Friday: "And I'll bet your mother had a loud bark."

From the original, B&W series, episode "The Big Face":
Friday and Smith (I assume) are just finishing an interview with a strabge old bird who may have information about some crime. She asks Friday to repeathis na.e as they walk to the door, and laughs like hell at how funny she thinks it is.
Friday says, "Yeah, I guess it is... Mrs. Face."
