- Jim Rockford: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
- Sally: Jim, Sally. Hey, I just found out you're an Aries. Listen, if you have Virgo rising, give me a call...
- Jim Rockford: [Jim goes to visit Dennis, to see if he has any information on the people he's involved with. Dennis - obviously upset from all the 'ragging' he gets about his friendship with Jim, whispers stuff to Jim, at his desk in the precinct' 'bullpen'] Thanks, Dennis
- [Jim gets up from sitting on Dennis' desk, and starts to walk towards the door, passing lts of cops, engaged in their work]
- Jim Rockford: Thanks a lot, old buddy
- Dennis Becker: [Nervous the other cops will make assumptions from Rockford's friendliness, Dennis puts on his 'tough-guy' voice, and barks] Get outta here, Rockford
- [Dennis looks around the room]
- Dennis Becker: and don't come back!
- Jim Rockford: [Rockford is at a restaurant with a Lloyds of London representative discussing his reward for having helped recover stolen diamonds - a case that lead to the breaking of three priceless works of art] Mr. Cryder, I don't want to seem anxious, but I was wondering about my five percent recovery fee?
- Cryder: Ohhh yes. I called my people at Lloyds, they agreed.
- Jim Rockford: [smiling] Five percent, a million dollars worth of jewellery, that's fifty thousand dollars isn't it?
- Cryder: Yes... Unfortunately each of the cormorants was insured for fifteen thousand making a total of forty-five thousand.
- Jim Rockford: Well, what has one got to do with the other?
- Cryder: Well they feel that since you were hired to protect them, and since all three were destroyed, that you should... bear the loss...
- Jim Rockford: That's preposterous!
- Cryder: Unfortunately that is how they... feel. So, ah, forty-five thousand from fifty thousand leaves five thousand...
- Jim Rockford: [looking rather peeved] Well I didn't break the damn things!
- Cryder: ...I've been doing some perliminary figuring... Now from the five thousand there's of course, ah, English inheritance and English income taxes
- [he starts subtracting on a pad of paper]
- Cryder: ... ah yes, we will have to inform your IRS
- [he chuckles]
- Cryder: and there's the rate of exchange to consider and, oh yes, then there's...
- Jim Rockford: One minute, just one minute.
- Cryder: Yes?
- Jim Rockford: Do you think there's going to be enough for me to pick up this tab?
- Cryder: I really don't know, Mr. Rockford, that depends... Do you intend to keep on drinking?
