- Jim Rockford: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
- Caller: This is Shirley from the bank. The answers are no, no and yes. No, we won't loan you money, no, we won't accept any co-signers, and yes, your account's overdrawn. I get off at 4:30.
- Jim Rockford: I'm trying to defrost my frost-free refrigerator.
- Rocky: Oh, darn thing went out on you again huh?
- Jim Rockford: American ingenuity... I don't know how they do it, but the minute the warranty runs out, whatever it is, it starts falling apart.
- Rocky: Well I'll just give you a hand.
- Jim Rockford: Not with your best suit on, I don't want to get stuck with the cleaning bill. No, I think I'm just gonna give up on this thing and buy me a new one.
- Rocky: Oh, are you working Jimmy?
- Jim Rockford: No, but I think I can swing the down payment on a refrigerator.
- Kate Banning: They keep the place real neat. I think graves ought to be a little untidy, the way lives are.
- Dennis Becker: Jim, the police department operates without fear or favor.
- Jim Rockford: Theoretically.
- Dennis Becker: That's right, theoretically. As to fear, half the time we work in a cold sweat. As to favor, every stiff gets the same consideration, except a dead cop.
