[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.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
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!

[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!
[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.

[beeep] Hi, Jim, thanks for the dinner invitation. I'd love to, but does it have to be the taco stand?
BCBob Coleman
You say one word about that to Adrienne, and they'll be scraping you up in six counties!
Six? Why not one neat little package like Margo?
[suspiciously] What are you going to do, Jim?
Oh...I don't know ... go home ... take a shower .....
Stay out of it.
... stay out of it...
He was having an affair with Margo.
ACAdrienne Clarke
You say that with a great deal of authority.
And you don't seem particularly surprised.
ACAdrienne Clarke
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.
I don't like it any better than you do, Miss Clarke. I'm looking for a motive for murder.
ACAdrienne Clarke
Then look someplace else.
I have a feeling I'm looking in exactly the right place.

[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.
[the Sheriff hands over their personal items. Rocky realizes Harry had stolen his ring] My lodge ring. I want to file a complaint!
FHFast Harry DeNova
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.
I supposed his initials were "J.R.", huh?
FHFast Harry DeNova
That's right, I told you you'd feel...
[hurriedly pushes them toward the door] Come on, now...
[Resisting] Give me that ring, I want to file a complaint. Sheriff, I want to file a complaint!
MJMildred Jensen
You know Harry, I've decided that you're right about the one I should buy. I like children. Don't you, Harry?
Harry likes pigeons.

[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.
CDChristine Dusseau
You're determined to be flip, aren't you?
Hey, come on now, give me a break, huh? I'm trying to walk off a big emotional disappointment.
