Starsky & Hutch quotes

Hutch

Hey, Starsk, do you think Pat O'Brien will ever forgive us?

Hutch

[Explaining pro wrestling to Starsky] Now, see, what happens is you get some Idaho potato picker in here, you give him a funny name and a fancy pair of tights and a bottle of ketchup.

Huggy Bear

Welcome to Rodent Downs, gentlemen. Just a friendly game of chance amongst friends.

Starsky

Mouse racing?

Hutch

I don't believe it.

Huggy Bear

Well, you ever try to get ten horses in a basement?

Starsky

[Upon discovering a dead body in a shower stall] Tell me he slipped on a bar of soap.

Hutch

He slipped on a bar of soap.

Starsky

I don't believe it.

Hutch

Neither do I.

Say, I know you.

Starsky

Yeah, you know my Uncle Al.

Right, right. You drive that red tomato with the white stripe.

Starsky

Uh, red Torino.

Tomato, tomahto, what's the difference?

All right, what the hell are you doing? We have Jojo under surveillance and all of a sudden you pick him up?

Hutch

Surprised it took you this long to find us.

Listen!

Starsky

Ssshhh! Now calm down, will ya? We just decided to take Jojo out for a bite to eat - only he ain't hungry.

Hutch

Yeah. And after that, us girls are gonna do a little shopping.

Starsky

You know, if this was a cowboy movie, I'd give you my boots.

Starsky

You're my pal, Hutch.

Hutch

Thanks buddy... but what'd you have to do that for? He was the only guy that knew.

Starsky

[hardly breathing] Seemed to be a good idea at the time.

Starsky

Find my pants.

Hutch

I've got your watch.

Starsky

You forgot my pants?

Hutch

Uh...

Starsky

You mean you want me to hit the streets with no pants, no badge, no gun, no dignity? What's the matter with you? [to doctor] Do you believe him?

Hutch

You know, you're right, Starsk, I should have left you lying on the floor while I decided which pair of your equally crummy blue jeans I should pack.

Capt. Harold Dobey

Look, Hutch, we only have two hours.

Hutch

I don't care if we have two minutes, we don't give up!

Hi, Starchy. Hi, Hup.

Starsky

Now, how many times we got to tell you... I'm Starchy. He's Hup.

Well, the sun was kinda in my eyes, and you guys look an awful lot alike.

Starsky

You still seeing whatshername?

Hutch

Sure. Still seeing whatshername. Took her to the whatchamacallit. Gave her my thingamajig.

Starsky

I didn't know it was that serious.

Starsky

Okay, Rollie, who was supposed to kill me?

I don't know, Starsk. On my mother's life I don't know.

Starsky

You don't have a mother. You were found in a garbage can behind Weight Watchers.

Hutch

There's something you oughtta know about Starsky and me. We're not like most partners. Y'know, usually there's the one guy who's kinda folksy. Kind that wants the best for everybody. The Pat O'Brien kind of guy. And then there's the other guy, the rough 'em up, hardnosed kind of guy. Well, that doesn't work for Starsky and me. See, we're both hardnosed, Rollie. And we don't like it when people don't give us everything we want.

Starsky

Who are we supposed to report this too? I mean, who in the Hell are we supposed to trust?

Hutch

The same people we always trust. Us.
