Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGusik says his wings are not 'chazerai'. That is Yiddish for junk food, garbage, or a stupid idea.
- GoofsCharlie Jeffers erroneously attributes his quote "Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men." to Aldous Huxley, but it was a quote from Aldous' grandfather, Thomas Henry Huxley, in Science and Culture and Other Essays' (1881) 'On the Hypothesis that Animals are Automata'.
- Quotes
Capt. Barney Miller: Here you are Mr. Jeffers,
Charlie Evans Jeffers: Thank you Captain
Capt. Barney Miller: You know, it's hard for me to understand how an intelligent man like you could allow himself to be parley to so much trouble
Charlie Evans Jeffers: Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men
Det. Ron Harris: This cat is dynamite... I'm gonna write that down
Capt. Barney Miller: It appears you found yourself an admirer.
Charlie Evans Jeffers: Do me a favor, don't tell him it comes from Aldous Huxley until l after I leave
Capt. Barney Miller: You know, it seems to me that if you just stayed put all this time, you could avoid all this difficulty
Charlie Evans Jeffers: No, I am by my nature an impatient man, Captain.
Capt. Barney Miller: But, you are also a realist
Charlie Evans Jeffers: Well, the secret of being able to serving time is to accept the circumstance, to resign yourself to the fact that escape is impossible. Well, the more I escaped, the more difficult it became to accept that philosophy. Prison became increasingly unbearable because it became increasingly unnecessary.
Capt. Barney Miller: But you always got caught
Charlie Evans Jeffers: Well nobody's perfect
Capt. Barney Miller: What about this time ? Gonna try again ?
Charlie Evans Jeffers: I don't know. It isn't nearly as interesting outside as it use to be. I suppose these last few escapes were merely for the sake of doing
Capt. Barney Miller: Why don't you just sit it out for awhile, try for parole ?
Charlie Evans Jeffers: Maybe I will this time, certainly the challenge is no longer there. Perhaps it's time, I'm gonna have to be practical and yes,very very bored.
