The Rockford Files, Season 4

(Lee Ronstadt, the paramilitary group leader, calls Ray, the talk radio host on the water shortage debate)

Lee:
Now you wanna know what I think about the water shortage, right?

Ray:
Right.

Lee:
There isn't any.

Ray:
What do you mean there isn't any?

Lee:
Look, Ray, I heard all about your so-called drought. The fact is, we got plenty of water.

Ray:
Is that so? Where?

Lee:
Okay, I'll tell you where it is. We're selling it to the Arabs.

Ray:
The who?

Lee:
The Arabs! They got nothing but sand and money.

Ray:
Look Lee, get to the point.

Lee:

Ray:

Lee:
Well, it's them bleeding hearts back in Washington, that's who! Trying to keep the whole world happy and to hell with the American people! Well, I got my sprinklers going, and I'm gonna keep them going, and to hell with the Arabs!
