“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

Jim

[to the driver of the Monte Carlo that was chasing him] You know, I've been in this business a long time. I've run into a couple of guys who could stay with me. They got a little sloppy doing it. Nobody ever made it look easy. Just like to say it's an honor to be tailed by somebody who can drive as good as you do.

This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.

[beeep] Hi, Jim, thanks for the dinner invitation. I'd love to, but does it have to be the taco stand?

You say one word about that to Adrienne, and they'll be scraping you up in six counties!

Jim

Six? Why not one neat little package like Margo?

Dennis

[suspiciously] What are you going to do, Jim?

Jim

Oh...I don't know ... go home ... take a shower .....

Dennis

Stay out of it.

Jim

... stay out of it...

Jim

He was having an affair with Margo.

You say that with a great deal of authority.

Jim

And you don't seem particularly surprised.

It would be unrealistic for me to believe that Bob leads a monastic life. But it's not something we've ever discussed, and I certainly have no intention of discussing it with you. I resent your prying, and I resent these personal questions.

Jim

I don't like it any better than you do, Miss Clarke. I'm looking for a motive for murder.

Then look someplace else.

Jim

I have a feeling I'm looking in exactly the right place.

This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.

[beeep] Hello Jim Rockford's machine, this is Larry Doheny's machine. Will you please have your master call my master at his convenience. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Rocky

[the Sheriff hands over their personal items. Rocky realizes Harry had stolen his ring] My lodge ring. I want to file a complaint!

Now Rocky, don't do nothing rash. You're going to feel pretty bad when I tell you that ring belonged to my own sainted father. It was the one thing he left me when he passed on.

Rocky

I supposed his initials were "J.R.", huh?

That's right, I told you you'd feel...

Jim

[hurriedly pushes them toward the door] Come on, now...

Rocky

[Resisting] Give me that ring, I want to file a complaint. Sheriff, I want to file a complaint!

You know Harry, I've decided that you're right about the one I should buy. I like children. Don't you, Harry?

Jim

Harry likes pigeons.

This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.

[beeep] Jim, it's Shirley at the cleaners. You know that brown jacket? The one I said looks so great on you? Your favorite? We lost it.

You're determined to be flip, aren't you?

Jim

Hey, come on now, give me a break, huh? I'm trying to walk off a big emotional disappointment.

Jim

On the way back, I want to drop by the Sandstrom house for a minute. Do you mind?

Of course I mind, I don't want to get in trouble with Lt Diehl! If we go there, we're just asking for it!

Jim

Yeah. Yeah well, it'll only take a minute.

This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave you name and message, I'll get back to you.

[Beeep] Hey Jimmy! It's Cousin Lou! Goin' ta be in town fer a coupla days. Know ya won't mind puttin' us up. It's just me and Aunt Cissy and B.J. and the kids and little Freddie...

Jim

Welllll, lady, I think you're being suckered.

Susan Alexander

Then you don't want the job?

Jim

Ummm, no, I didn't say that. Nawww, I just, uh, like to be upfront then I don't feel so bad about taking your money.

Susan Alexander

You're a private investigator! Why aren't you armed?

Jim

Because I don't want to shoot anybody.

Susan Alexander

[as Jim is loading his gun] I thought you didn't like to shoot people.

Jim

I don't shoot it, I just point it!
