BARNEY MILLER - The Spy

Air Date/Released Thursday, January 18, 1979
Station/Studio ABC / Four D Productions

The detectives of NYC's 12th Precinct in Greenwich Village solve their cases, while dealing with the predominantly eccentric victims and crooks that cross their paths.

A weary ex-spy becomes delusional and holds the squad room hostage, thinking the precinct is actually part of an elaborate CIA conspiracy. The neighborhood’s vigilante-prone businessman assaults a mime who was performing outside his store. Det. Dietrich takes the statement of Mr. Binder, the store owner. Defending his action against the mime...
Binder: All that dumb stuff they do. They don’t even say nuthin’.
Dietrich: Mime is an acquired taste.
Binder: Hey, I like good comedy ya’know. Remember the Three Stooges?
Dietrich: Yeah. Slapstick.
Binder: That’s great stuff.
Dietrich: Counter-phobic responses to violence in humor.
Binder: Oh yeah?
Dietrich: Pain is funny.
Binder: Really?
Dietrich: You want to feel a joke?
