Default Police Squad!" A Substantial Gift (The Broken Promise) (1982)

Mrs. Twice: Oh, poor Ralph! Do you know what it's like to be married to a wonderful man for fourteen years?
Det. Frank Drebin: No, I can't say that I do. I did live with a guy once, though, but that was just for a couple of years. Usual slurs, rumours, innuendos - people didn't understand.
[to camera]
Det. Frank Drebin: Ran him outta town like a common pygmy.
Capt. Ed Hocken: Did he have any enemies?
Mrs. Twice: Well the Democrats didn't like him.
Det. Frank Drebin: [continues, to camera] Sure, he was a physical education major but he had a mind! He could think, he wasn't all muscle, all body, all sinewy limbs. He got married, you know, later - had three kids. Never cared for her. Sent a nice gift, never got a note.
Capt. Ed Hocken: Now, I know this is a long shot, but did he ever eat chop suey?
Mrs. Twice: [crying] No, no he never did.
Capt. Ed Hocken: It was just a hunch.
Det. Frank Drebin: [continues, to camera] I told him she was wrong. And that youngest boy, just like his father. Football hero. Lived with him for a year. It wasn't the same.
[wistfully]
Det. Frank Drebin: You can't go back.
