Quotes1

  • Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: Jason Davis was riding a Grand Mark 2 motorcycle when he was picked up!
  • Howard Cunningham: We know that, Fonzie.
  • Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: That's right, you know that, Mr. C-but do you know that the Grand Mark 2 is a very rare bike-and it's only made in England!
  • G.W. Burch: That's another thing wrong with him! He don't even buy American!
  • Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: [he scoffs and prepares to recreate incident] Get right over here, ma'am. OK, look, Mrs. Leary, now hold onto Exhibit B, the handbag, Mrs. Leary is supposedly standing in the parking lot holding her little handbag. OK, Look... Jason supposedly whips by and grabs the-
  • [woman hesitates]
  • Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: you're supposed to let go of the purse, ma'am. Jason Davis supposedly whips by, takes the purse, and holds it up!
  • G.W. Burch: So?
  • Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: I hate it when people say, "So?"
  • [Later]
  • Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: Here's the important part. The criminal was supposed to have the handbag in his left hand!
  • Howard Cunningham: Well, naturally, Fonzie! he had to accelerate the bike with his right hand!
  • Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: And there's the rub, ladies and gentlemen. The Grand Mark 2-made in England-has the accelerator on the left-hand handlebar! Now how can Jason Davis grab the bag, hold it up with his left hand, and accelerate with the same hand? With two left hands? He can't! I rest my case... That's what's been buggin' me the whole time, Mr. C.!
  • Howard Cunningham: You're right, Fonzie! it says here that he held up the purse with his left hand!
  • Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: Right, now, due to the evidence I've exposed here, it is impossible for you to find Jason Davis guilty!
  • Howard Cunningham: Well, in light of this new information I think we should take another vote!
  • G.W. Burch: Hold it, there's still something wrong here!
  • Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: Only for you! Mr. Davis can't change his color! Sorry!
