Pass The Salt Quotes

“On the second to last day, Lt. Russo, who ran the program, announced, "Unless you were at dinner last night and had the opportunity to say 'Howard, pass the salt,' you are going to Brooklyn North and Manhattan North. That's where they need people, and that's where you're going." "Howard" referred to to the Commissioner Safir, and when they read the list of assignments the next afternoon--
"Alvarez... Brooklyn North..."
"Baker... Brooklyn North..."
"Buono... Manhattan North..."
"Calderon... Brooklyn North..."
"Conlon... South Bronx Initiative..."
--more than a few people turned around to look. Howard, pass the salt. I was a little surprised myself.”
