[Rockford's Firebird pulls up in front of a dilapidated bungalow somewhere outside of L.A.] Huh? What do you say? Is this what you asked for? Huh? [He laughs excitedly]
Yeah, perfect... I couldn't have done better myself. How much?
Look at that. You said no neighbors, right? Well, right over here is an empty lot and right on this side is an empty house, huh?
All right, Angel, how much?
Listen, I got all the papers here, and all signed legal... binding...
[sounding testy] Angel...
Well, you know, Willie wasn't in love with the idea of renting it in the first place. Well, I mean a man's home is, uh... you know. But it's cause you were friends at Quentin... he said to say hi.
[Impatiently] Hi... how much?
[Uneasily] Ah... A hundred a day...
Angel! A hundred dollars a day for that chicken shed?!
[Defensively] You said it was perfect! The key is under the mat!
[sighing he reaches inside his jacket for his wallet] All right, Angel... If I had the time I'd go rent one on my own, but I don't have the time. If I did I would, but you got yourself a deal, huh. [He hands a couple of fifties to his friend] Now I'm going to remember it... And when this whole thing is over, I'm going to have a little talk with Willie. See how much of that hundred sticks to your greedy little fingers, and then he's going to remember it. [He climbs into his car]
[Nervously] Jimmy, you don't have to talk to Willie...
[Rockford starts the car]
Jimmy!
[Rockford puts his foot to the accelerator]
Jimmy! Hey Jimmy! I don't have a car!
[He watches as Rockford drives off leaving him abandoned on the curb miles from L.A]
