Victoria Hoffline : Excuse me, I'm Victoria Hoffline, State Division for Historic Preservation. We were contacted by Doctor Traven of the Greenwich Museum regarding an article you found in your basement.
Capt. Barney Miller : Oh, right, yeah, we found this old gun
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Yeah, I found it.
Victoria Hoffline : Uh, well, we have done some further research on that, and do you happen to know who that gun belong to
Capt. Barney Miller : No, I don't
Victoria Hoffline : Name someone who belonged to the police force and but then later became very famous
Capt. Barney Miller : Uh... Laguardia.
Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich : Good answer... Good answer.
Victoria Hoffline : Theodore Roosevelt and as I'm sure your know, Mr. Roosevelt was the head of the New York Police Board from 1895-97.
Capt. Barney Miller : Uh, Right
Victoria Hoffline : Well, this building was its headquarters, and from our research , we think that your office just may have been Mr. Roosevelt's.
Capt. Barney Miller : Really...?
Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich : Bully for you.
Victoria Hoffline : Now if this building meets the basic architectural requirements, we can recommend it for its inclusion in the National Register for Historic Places
Capt. Barney Miller : Hey, how about that ?
Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich : Does that mean Sears will paint it ?
Capt. Barney Miller : Captain , may I look around some more?
Capt. Barney Miller : Please... Please.
Victoria Hoffline : Thank you

Capt. Barney Miller : Yes, Miss Hoffline, I'm afraid there's a bit of a misunderstanding here.
Victoria Hoffline : Oh ?
Capt. Barney Miller : Mr Norrell seems to thinks that this building is for sale.
Jack Norrell : It is... right?
Victoria Hoffline : Yes
Capt. Barney Miller : I' m afraid that the decision doesn't rest with Miss Hoffline. This building happens to be under the jurisdiction of the Department of General Services.
Victoria Hoffline : I know, I already talked to them . And they said I could show it to Mr. Norrell.
Capt. Barney Miller : Uh... Wojo. Get me someone down at General Services. We'll straighten this out right away. It's obviously a mix-up... Because this precinct, these men perform a vital service to this community The city is not about to sell us out for a quick buck.
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Yeah, just a second. It's a Mr. McGreavy
Capt. Barney Miller : Mr. McGreavy. Yes, Mr. McGreavy, Captain Miller 12th precinct. Yes, we are having a bit of a problem here and I am hoping you can help us with it. We have some people here, who are under the impression that this building is for sale... Yes, well, I already told them that's not the case... that the city is certainly not foolish enough to dismantle an essential... No, he hasn't made an offer yet... Yeah, I'll tell him... Your welcome... Mr. McGreavy said he is looking forward from hearing from you
Jack Norrell : Thank you
Victoria Hoffline : And Captain, you have a nice day
