Quotes 

• Armand Teasdale : [in slight awe]  I'm a good judge of people; that is a fine young man with a remarkable character.

  Jim Rockford : Oh, no doubt about it. Lance is perfect. It's his only flaw.

• Armand Teasdale : Well, what do you think of him, son?

  Jim Rockford : Oh, Lance? Well I, I guess you could say when they were passing out raincoats, he got a beauty.

  Armand Teasdale : Well I uh, I suppose it does seem a bit unfair to you. After all, you were the one who risked your life to save Veronica. Lance ends up with the girl and, I suppose, everything else... . And I think it's only fitting that uh, you should profit in some additional way beyond the bonus. After all, you're the real hero.

  Jim Rockford : Well, that really isn't necessary, sir...

  Armand Teasdale : [Cuts Jim off]  Fine, fine, just thought I'd offer. Nice seeing you.

• Lance White : Jim, you were called in first. I'm only here as a friend. I wouldn't take that job for anything.

  Jim Rockford : Not for anything, Lance?

  Lance White : No.

  Jim Rockford : Don't kid a kidder.

  Armand Teasdale : I'm prepared to pay five hundred a day.

  Lance White : Not for a thousand, not for ten. Ethics are ethics, Mr Teasdale, and they don't change when the price goes up.

  Jim Rockford : They usually do. But I'm not gonna argue about it, I'll take it.
