• Jim Rockford : [at Rocky's house sifting through shoe boxes full of Jim's payed bills]  Look Angel, I've got problems of my own. I've got a tax mess here that's so bad I'm gonna have to spend three days up at Adriana's place at Arrow Head just trying to sort it out... how are you doing for April and May, Dad?

  Adrianna Danielli : Jim I hope you don't mind my saying, but I think this is symptomatic of the whole problem! Why are these receipts stored here in the first place?

  Jim Rockford : Well do you wanna try living in a house trailer and running a business out of it too?

  Adrianna Danielli : Which you can't claim, by the way.

  Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford #2 : Alice Faye... I'm thinking of all them pictures and records I collected back inthe 40s. That's it! Alice Faye!

  [runs off to find Jim's missing receipts] 

  Jim Rockford : Alice Faye...? April and May...?

• Angel : Jimmy! Open up!

  [Bangs on door] 

  Jim Rockford : [Frustrated]  Angel, if you're up here about Buster Hutchins and his roadway church...

  Angel : No, no,no. It's bad, Jimmy, it's bad. It's like a nightmare. I've been through living hell. I was at your trailer, y'know, these two guys...

  Jim Rockford : No, I don't know! Why were you in my trailer?

  Angel : I was returning your movie camera, y'know Rocky gave me the key and I was cleaning the lens off when these two guys walk in - Jimmy, one of them looked like a cross between George Hamilton and Dracula. I told him: Buddy, take it out in the street...

  Jim Rockford : You told them where I was, didn't you, Angel!

  Angel : Yea, but I tried to hang tough Jimmy, but they worked me over for a couple of hours, they even shocked me with a 110 volt line!

  Jim Rockford : Yea right! How long did you hold out? Did you make 15 seconds?

  Angel : Jimmy!

  Jim Rockford : Angel, the only reason you came up here is because you know that if I somehow make it out of here alive I would come after you with a sickle!

  Angel : That's the thanks I get for my loyalty? After risking my neck? After driving through the worst terrain in southern California, with a severe head wound, and a gas station attendant that hardly knew where the cabin was?

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

  Asian Man : [beeep]  Mr. Rockford, you know what to do if you attacked and killed? Ask for Albert Kimsi at grand opening of Happy Dawn School of Secret Arts. Win three lessons!

• Jim Rockford : Angel, if you hocked my camera, I'm gonna rearrange your facial structure!
