Lianne Sweeny quotes from The Rockford Files

Lianne Sweeny

Jim Rockford, Jim Rockford...Newton Street Division, 1968, Watts Riots!

Jim

No...

Lianne Sweeny

No, don't tell me, don't tell me! Metro!

Dennis Becker

Jim Rockford's a private investigator, Lianne.

Lianne Sweeny

[looking as though she smells something bad] Oh...

Lianne Sweeny

It may interest you to know that Sergeant Becker rolled a code three to a major four-fifteen which could have turned out to be a one-eighty-seven.

Jim

I flunked math.

Lianne Sweeny

[after the shootout, she approaches Lt. Chapman] Hi, Doug. Hey, Doug, Doug. I just want to say that I think Dennis Becker handled this situation very, very well. Even if that civilian hadn't done what he did, I think that Dennis would have nailed those turkeys, with no harm to the victim. I think it was quite a collar, a feather in everyone's cap. The way I look at it, there's sure as hell enough glory to go around from this baby.

Lt. Doug Chapman

Ms. Sweeney, why don't you go home?

Lianne Sweeny

[Taken aback] What?

Lt. Doug Chapman

I said go home. Go back to your family. Go back to your job, whatever it is, and for God's sake, let us do ours. The police don't have many friends these days, so we have a tendency to take whatever comes our way, and that's our mistake.

Lianne Sweeny

Doug, I don't know what you're talking about. I just love what you guys do, that's all. I - I hate crime and criminals.
