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

  Caller : Hey Jimmy. This here's Titus Garrett. Remember me? From the Army? I'm stuck here in town. How about I come over and bunk with you, buddy!

• Alec Morris : I was told that you were very reliable...

  Jim Rockford : Reliable... but chicken.

• Doris Parker : [Jin's been asked to come to Mrs. Parker's home, as she has more information, which she hope will encourage Rockford to stay on the case. But, he's hesitant, as he's already been beaten up, charged w/ filing a false police report, and is facing the possibility of a $10 million lawsuit]  You're turning into a big disappointment for me. Don't you ever think about anyone but yourself?

  Jim Rockford : [Matter-of-factly]  No. Well, yeah, sometimes at Christmas.

• Jim Rockford : [Rocky walks into Jim's trailer to find him lying in the floor, unconscious. As Jim tries to reassure Rocky he's okay, Rocky heads for he phone on Jim's desk, and starts dialing]  What are you doing?

  Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford : I'm calling Doc Wheaton.

  Jim Rockford : I don't want to see Doc Wheaton!

  [Jim tries to take the phone out of Rocky's hands] 

  Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford : Well, that's tough!

  [Jim manages to get the phone from Rocky's hands, and hangs it up] 

  Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford : Look, I'm your father. I got an interest in whether-or-not your head is leaking on the inside. Now you're getting so dumb, I'm gonna have to take you out for walks, and hold your hand in the market!

  Jim Rockford : You're funny, Rocky. You're funny.

• Jim Rockford : Lieutenant Becker, please.

• Leon Fielder : [Jim beat Fielder to the grip on a handshake and is squeezing his hand, just as Fielder had done to hurt Jim's hand shortly before]  Would you let go of my hand? This is very childish.

  Jim Rockford : What? Oh... It is, isn't it.
