They keep the place real neat. I think graves ought to be a little untidy, the way lives are.

Jim, the police department operates without fear or favor.
Theoretically.
That's right, theoretically. As to fear, half the time we work in a cold sweat. As to favor, every stiff gets the same consideration, except a dead cop.
I'm trying to defrost my frost-free refrigerator.
Oh, darn thing went out on you again huh?
American ingenuity... I don't know how they do it, but the minute the warranty runs out, whatever it is, it starts falling apart.
Well I'll just give you a hand.
Not with your best suit on, I don't want to get stuck with the cleaning bill. No, I think I'm just gonna give up on this thing and buy me a new one.
Oh, are you working Jimmy?
No, but I think I can swing the down payment on a refrigerator.
This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
Caller: [beeep] This is Thelma Sue Bigley. It's about the research I called you about - the family tree? Did you talk to your daddy? We may be kin!
Well, I got the car back... nice. I think I'm going to put it on display right out front with a big sign on it. "Wreck of the Week, Drive Carefully".
Well, that'll make it look like you care. People will love you for it.
You said you were going to drive it carefully, Jimmy baby, remember? The guys driving the tow truck that brought it in had a bet going. Want to hear the bet?
Not necessarily, no.
Well one guy bet it was a Ford. The other guy said no, it was a Chrysler. Imagine the surprise when I grin and tell them, "It's a Buick".
HSHerb Strock
She's a very strange young lady.
When somebody has $300,000 in the bank, you don't call them strange.
HSHerb Strock
What do you call 'em?
Eccentric.
EMEdward Moss
Whaddya charge?
$200 a day plus expenses.
EMEdward Moss
Any good?
That's a little like asking the head waiter how the steak is, isn't it?
EMEdward Moss
Okay Rockford, I'm gonna give you the ground rules. One, I don't like getting fleeced. So, you try to run up the expense account, I'm just not gonna pay it. I want receipts for everything, you got it? Everything. I know you guys. You're all expense account hot dogs. I only mention this so you'll know that I'm wise to you going in.
[Jabs Rockford with golf iron head]
EMEdward Moss
You get the picture, mister?
[Rockford quickly and easily wrests golf club from Moss and nudges Moss backwards with it]
Edward Moss: Hey, I got a black belt in karate.
Good. Cause I got a black belt in 7 iron.
EMEdward Moss
You want this job? [pause] Well how 'bout it?
How 'bout what?
EMEdward Moss
Are you gonna take it?
You gonna say "please"?
EMEdward Moss
No!
Alright, I'll take it.
NWNancy Wade
You don't understand, do you? You don't know how much trouble you're in.
I have been shot at, hit over the head, robbed of $10,000... Incredible as it may seem, all by myself I figured out I was in a little trouble!
This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
CCaller
[beeep] Rockford, this is Tony. Now your car's ready. I couldn't reach you, so I went ahead and put in the new pistons. The tab is $527.54, and this time we're talking cash!
AWAudrey Wyatt
[sees smoke coming from Jim's kitchen] What is that?
Oh... Oh, if you ever change banks, don't accept a toaster, this is my fourth one.
What did we hit?
Just what we were aiming at, the water main.
Hey now, wait a minute, wait a minute, I still have the right to pay off what I owe! You'll get your money.
WMWilliam MacKenzie
I doubt that Mr. Rockford, I've, I've seen your financial statement. Foreclosure is as painful for the bank as it is for its customer.
Yeah... Simon Lloyd has some very heavy connections.
[asking Angel if he had any trouble at the resort] Nobody tried to interfere?
No, no, they didn't even believe that it was happening. You know what occurred to me? I mean when you get a crowd like that? It doesn't seem right not to work 'em.
[Disapprovingly] Angel...
No, no, now you were right about the oil rig, that's the thing. But the thing that really gets them excited though is the jackhammer, and the compressor, and the noise, and that racket, boy, it's the roar of the crowd and I got to thinking how you said I should have earplugs. I went down to the drug store and talked to the druggist and made the deal - 28 cents a pair - go back and sell them for a dollar seventy-five - a dollar fifty! - easy.
[Aggravated] Forget it!
Jimmy, don't spit on it, man. If we don't do it someone else will. Think about it. [He pulls Rocky over to his side] Rocky could be the salesman, huh? He's got that good, honest face everybody likes. We get him a tray hanging around his neck...
Angel, if you try working a scam on the side, you go straight back to L.A.
A person's got a right to his own suggestions, don't he?
No!
This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
CCaller
[beeep] Okay, pal, it's Harry. I just checked my car. You kept the battery charged all right, you also put thirty-five hundred miles on it!
