[beeep] This is the Message Phone Company. I see you're using our unit, now how 'bout paying for it?
Where is she?
Oh, you're kidding. She's my get away free card.
You ain't got no "get away free card." You maybe got one chance in 10,000 of surviving the next 30 seconds.
For 10% I don't risk my neck. I just stand around and look tough.
This is Jim Rockford. At the tone, leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
[beeep] I staked out that guy, only didn't work out like you said. Please call me. Room 234, County Hospital.
[bends down and looks into open car window of rival P.I. Kirmit Higby] Hi Kirm, it's good to see you crawling out from under your rock from time to time.
I thought I gave you a good lesson last time, Rockford. What's wrong? Don't you remember how I spread your nose out for you?
Oh I remember; lucky punch. I'm not worried. Generally, you can hit the ground with your feet.
Well maybe you need to be taught another lesson.
Looks that way, let me help you.
[Rockford pulls back on the car door as Higby opens it, then slams it against Higby's wrist when he tries to get out, putting him in instant agony]
Clumsy, clumsy Kirm. Ah well, it looks like you've got a couple of choices: either you can tell me what you're doing following me and why you knocked me out in Susan's room, or you can sit here with your hand in the door while I sharpen my right cross. Which is it?
[In pained voice] I didn't knock you out...
Okay Kirm, I'm going to let your dentist rebuild your whole mouth.
Suit yourself...
[Raising his fist Rockford is ready to punch Higby but falters as he looks at Kirm's pained expression, giving in to his softer side] Ah damn! [He pulls back, slapping the car door]
[as Rockford reaches in and takes the car keys] If it had been me, I'd have beaten you to death.
Yeah, I know... [then slams the car door against Higby's wrist once more for good measure before walking away]
You're a professional gambler! That's fascinating!
Yeah. Yeah it is, isn't it?
This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
[beeep] It's Doc Jones. What did you do to the hand, son - three fractured knuckles! You hit somebody?
You're not mad at me - are you?
No - why?
Because of what I thought back there.
No. You thought I was a crook? You made a normal, logical assumption.
I had no right!
You had every right.
Well, I really feel awful about it. Will you forgive me?
Jolene, do you know what you do?
What?
You apologize - all the time!
I do?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
[beeep] Hey Jimmy. This here's Titus Garrett. Remember me? From the Army? I'm stuck here in town. How about I come over and bunk with you, buddy!
I was told that you were very reliable.
Reliable...but chicken.
You're turning into a big disappointment for me. Don't you ever think about anyone but yourself?
No. Well, yeah, sometimes at Christmas.
[after Rocky finds him lying in the floor, unconscious] What are you doing?
I'm calling Doc Wheaton.
I don't want to see Doc Wheaton!
[Jim tries to take the phone out of Rocky's hands]
Well, that's tough!
[Jim manages to get the phone from Rocky's hands, and hangs it up]
Look, I'm your father. I got an interest in whether-or-not your head is leaking on the inside. Now you're getting so dumb, I'm gonna have to take you out for walks, and hold your hand in the market!
You're funny, Rocky. You're funny.
[Jim beat Fielder to the grip on a handshake and is squeezing his hand, just as Fielder had done to hurt Jim's hand shortly before] Would you let go of my hand? This is very childish.
What? Oh... It is, isn't it.?
This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
[beeep] This is Mrs. Bosley at the library. We billed you for your overdue book Karate Made Easy. When we abuse the library, we don't get our cards renewed!
You better lose that guy or we're gonna have a black and white at every intersection. Drive a race car huh?
Lousy damn suspension...
