- Jim Rockford: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
- Sales Rep.: [Beeep] This is Globe Publications. Our records show you have not returned your free volume of the Encyclopedia of Weather, so we'll be sending you the remaining 29 volumes - you'll be billed accordingly.
- Dennis Becker: It's against the law to show a civilian someone's rap sheet.
- Jim Rockford: Well then don't show it to me, Dennis. Just tell me what's in it.
- Jim Rockford: Gandy is carrying around a 12 dollar grudge in a 3 dollar hat and he's not going to be gentle about collecting it.
- Jim Rockford: [At a restaurant to celebrate a record deal, Rockford discovers that Angel has conned Gandolf by pretending to be a British record producer] Well, Gandy, how about that, you've just been conned by the worst in the business.
- Gandolph Fitch: You mean you know Shep?
- [he points toward Angel]
- Jim Rockford: Oh yea, for 15 years. The first time I met him he tried to con me into a food wholesaling scheme.
- Angel: [In a British accent trying to play it cool] Would have made a fortune.
- Jim Rockford: Oh yea, trapping pigeons in the park and selling them to Chinese restaurants. He was looking to me for $25.00 for popcorn and wire.
- Angel: [Losing his British accent] He's trying to set you up. I'm just following orders. He told me to do this to you, it's not me.
- Gandolph Fitch: Hey Rockfish, you and this wimp trying to run a game on me or something?
- Jim Rockford: It's my two grand, Gandy.
- [Angel climbs over the back of the booth and runs off]
- Jim Rockford: Hey, what happened to "Rockford"?
- [Gandy chases after Angel]
- Jim Rockford: [after a rough tustle with a pair of goons, Jim and his friend Gandy have won the upper hand, Gandy holding a shotgun in their faces] All right, I'll call the cops.
- Gandolph Fitch: No! No cops!
- Jim Rockford: Hey Gandy! Come on!
- Gandolph Fitch: No cops! If they blow it I'm still on the hook for murder! Theda'll probably get killed in the process! Stay behind if you want, but this wimp's taking me to Theda!
- Jim Rockford: Gandy there's no telling how many guys Shapiro bailed out with that second chance program! The night shift's probably loaded with apes just like these two!
- Gandolph Fitch: We've got nothing to worry about.
- Jim Rockford: Not we, Gandy, you!
- Gandolph Fitch: I'm paying you to do a job, so stop wimping and punch in!
- Jim Rockford: You can't pay me enough to handle this gig! It's a police matter now! Let them deal with it!
- Gandolph Fitch: How about 25 percent of my 10 percent of Theda's recording deal? Contract's gonna be signed tomorrow.
- Jim Rockford: Look, come on Gandy...
- Gandolph Fitch: I really nead your help Rockford!
- Jim Rockford: [look of disbelief] Rockford?
- Gandolph Fitch: Y-y-yeah, Rockford.
- [and that's enough to get Jim to help him]
