Quotes 

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

  Anonymous Female Friend : [Beeep]  So you put your machine on at night, huh, just cause I call you at 3 am? You know how bad my insomnia is. Thanks a lot Jim!

• Lauren Ingeborg : How long does it take to read a police report anyway?

  Police Det. Dennis Becker : Quite a while, if you know Lt. Chapman.

  Jim Rockford : Oh yes, sometimes he'll read a report twice if it's complicated. Actually tonight his attention span is pretty good.

• Jim Rockford : [after driving his brakeless Firebird at break-neck speed down a hill, through a picket fence and a hedge before it stops]  Well, what do you say let's forget the sushimi and call it a day.

• Angel : [Rockford is trying to get Angel to impersonate someone else]  Why me?

  Jim Rockford : Because you like to collect pictures of dead Presidents. Like Ulysses S. Grant.

  Angel : Fifty?

  Jim Rockford : Uh-huh.

  Angel : Listen Jimmy, I've got a poker game set up with the guys in the Linotype room. Like shooting ducks in a barrel.

  Jim Rockford : C'mon Angel, those guys are the kind of guys who throw nickels around like man hole covers. It's gonna take half the night just to get ten bucks out of them. Angel, this is 50 bucks for 15 minutes work.

  Angel : That would be more efficient use of my time, wouldn't it.

  Jim Rockford : Now you're going to have to wear a suit and a tie.

  Angel : [Points to his neck]  Oh c'mon man, ties *hurt*!

  Jim Rockford : Okay, five dollars more and that's it.

  [Angel nods in agreement]
