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

  Male caller : Hi. Just want to put your mind at rest. Found your address book in the theatre last week. It's in the mail. By the way, Carol's okay, but Linda...!

• Evelyn 'Angel' Martin : [Rockford's Firebird pulls up in front of a dilapidated bungalow somewhere outside of L.A. He and Angel climb out, Angel talking with enthusiasm]  Huh? What do you say? Is this what you asked for? Huh?

  [He laughs excitedly] 

  Jim Rockford : Yeah, perfect... I couldn't have done better myself. How much?

  Evelyn 'Angel' Martin : 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?

  Jim Rockford : All right, Angel, how much?

  Evelyn 'Angel' Martin : Listen, I got all the papers here, and all signed legal... binding...

  Jim Rockford : [sounding testy]  Angel...

  Evelyn 'Angel' Martin : 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.

  Jim Rockford : [Impatiently]  Hi... how much?

  Evelyn 'Angel' Martin : [Uneasily]  Ah... A hundred a day...

  Jim Rockford : Angel! A hundred dollars a day for that chicken shed!

  Evelyn 'Angel' Martin : [Defensively]  You said it was perfect! The key is under the mat!

  Jim Rockford : [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] 

  Jim Rockford : 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] 

  Evelyn 'Angel' Martin : [Nervously]  Jimmy, you don't have to talk to Willie...

  [Rockford starts the car] 

  Evelyn 'Angel' Martin : Jimmy!

  [Rockford puts his foot to the accelerator] 

  Evelyn 'Angel' Martin : 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] 

• Beth Davenport : Jim, who is she?

  Jim Rockford : An old fishing buddy.

• Evelyn 'Angel' Martin : Jimmy, Jimmy, just let me talk to you. Are you mad, huh?

  Jim Rockford : You have a gift for understatement, Angel.

• Lori Jenivan : Thank you, sergeant.

  Jim Rockford : Don't thank him, he didn't do anything!

  Dennis Becker : He got out of bed!
