Marcus Hayes quotes from The Rockford Files

Marcus Hayes

[in a Nazi bar]] This is a nice place you have here. You know, the nice thing about this country? That people from all political walks of life can coexist. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Socialists, Nazis.

Marcus Hayes

You have a hair-trigger, Mr. Finch.

That's right, mouth, and you're sitting on the edge of a big disaster.

Marcus Hayes

I like him Jimmy. He's got pluck.

Shut up Gabby!

Jim

[incredulous] Gabby?!

Marcus Hayes

[sighs] Yeah, that's what he calls me. Cute, huh?

Jim

[Marcus and Gandy have just trashed the Crystal Palace bar, a bar full of neo-Nazis] Before I leave, I would like to give you people my feelings on right-wing extremists, and neo-Nazism, in particular.

[Sirens are getting closer] Let's go!

The strength of this country is in the blue-collar middle classes. Now, Marx, Lenin, and even Nietzsche even, to a lesser extent, all believe that the working class had to be destroyed beyond recognition, before the government would follow. Now, I personally believe, however, that the American middle class is totally indestructible. Now, think about that. There'll be a quiz after the Watts parade.
