Drury is never at a loss for a potential solution that Banacek always manages to shoot down with his very next line. Part of the joke is that Ralph Manza, as Banacek's chauffeur Jay Drury, will often ask "What does it mean, Boss?" Banacek also has a running agreement with his chauffeur for a 10% share of Banacek's 10% if he solved the crime. "Only the centipede can hear all the hundred footsteps of his uncle."."Even a one thousand złoty note cannot tap dance."."No matter how warm the smile on the face of the Sun, the cat still has her kittens under the porch."."You can read all the books in the library my son, but the cheese will still smell after four days."."Just because the cat has her kittens in the oven doesn't make them biscuits."."When a wolf is chasing your sleigh, throw him a raisin cookie, but don't stop to bake a cake.".
One of Banacek's verbal signatures is the quotation of strangely worded yet curiously cogent " Polish" proverbs such as: He collects from the insurance companies 10% of the insured value of the recovered property. Peppard played Thomas Banacek, a Polish-American freelance, Boston-based private investigator who solves seemingly impossible thefts.
