Mrs. Twice, is a fictional, supporting character from the 1982 television series Police Squad! She is the wife of Ralph Twice.

Background[]

In the episode, "A Substantial Gift (The Broken Promise)", Captain Ed Hocken and Lieutenant Frank Drebin go a neighborhood in the city called Little Italy (and sure enough, as they drive there, we see the Roman Coliseum in the background) to question Mrs. Twice on the death of her husband ("We're sorry to bother you at a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then") (continuing the "Little Italy" gag, her apartment apparently has a direct view onto the Leaning Tower of Pisa). She tells them that Ralph didn't have any enemies, although the Democrats didn't like him. Mrs. Twice claims that Ralph was a good man and laments how she's going to break the news of his death to her daughter.

Ed and Frank suggest preposterous lies such as: "he was killed by left-wing insurgents from Paraguay", or that "he threw himself on a grenade and saved a battalion", and ultimately that "he was traded to the Cubs for Reggie Jackson".

They leave Mrs. Twice in more grief than when they found her. No further progress is made in the next ten hours, so the following morning Frank reports back to Police Squad.
