Jim Rockford
- Policeman: Joseph 'Happy' Cartello? You want to file assault charges?
- Jim Rockford: You're damn right. Assault and battery, public endangerment, illegal parking, grinnig hideously in public. You make the list, I'll sign it.
- Babs Honeywell: So I'll sign the complaint, too, I'm a witness.
- Jim Rockford: No you won't; don't need you on the complaint, I'm plenty.
- Nurse Marylou: Might leave a little scare, but it's mostly in a wrinkle, so it shouldn't show too much.
- [attending to the cut on Rockford's face, in the hospital]
- Jim Rockford: My modeling agent is going to be crazed.
- Police Capt. Doug Chapman: I mean, if you so much as miss just one section, I'm gonna come down on you like a concrete wall. then I'm gonna remove you from this class for failure to perform.
- Jim Rockford: I've had that complaint before, but never from a guy.
- Jim Rockford: Use my computer. and use it here. I know my computer, Angel; you try to swap it for some piece of junk, I'll come after you with something worse than a German dog.
- [paying Angel to write a paper for him]
- Evelyn 'Angel' Martin: What's worse than a German dog?
- Jim Rockford: A German pistol. Now get started.
- Jim Rockford: In the old days I just offered to deck a guy like that, but I'm not healing as fast as I used to.
- Jim Rockford: Babs is so sure that Cartello killed her boy that she, uh, starts following him around, finds the warehouse full of knockoff luggage, and gets herself killed. Then along comes Tennyson Keats. Smart-ass, hate-able, but perceptive and bright. He figures out you're stealing. I don't know how he did that cuz he took it to the grave with him. It was all right in Babs' diary, right in front of us. How does a guy who pours drinks for 7 bucks an hour end up with a $105,000 boat?
- Leon Martin: [Chuckles regretfully] You shoulda left it alone, Jim.
- Jim Rockford: [Leon growls, throws shelving at Jim and runs from storeroom, turning off light as he goes] You can't beat this one, Leon. The cops ate already on their way.
- Leon Martin: [From offscreen] I didn't mean to kill Cal. It was an accident.
- Jim Rockford: That's what happens when you make the wrong things important.
- Leon Martin: [From off screen, picking up crowbar] Now I have to kill you, Jim.
- Jim Rockford: I don't kill too easy, Leon. I've had better guys than you try.
