- Vern St. Cloud: I mean I checked the phone books, I checked all of the model agencies...
- Jim Rockford: That's a waste of time, she's not a model. All right, she's blue eyed, very thin, but both of you said she was 5'-4". You've got to be at least 5'-7" to be a model; designer's clothes hang better on taller women.
- Vern St. Cloud: Who are you? Eve St. Lawrence?
- Jim Rockford: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
- Army Official: [Beeep] This is Department of the Army. Our records show you are the Rockford, James who failed to turn in his service automatic in May 1953. Contact us at once!
- Billy Merrihew: It just doesn't make sense.
- Vern St. Cloud: Yes it makes sense. It was a set-up, you gonzo! The old frame-ola!
- Jim Rockford: [Jim's in Rocky's truck - Rocky having just picked up Jim at the airport] These are for picking me up at the airport.
- [Jim reaches into a brown paper bag, and pulls out a bunch of cigars, and puts them in Rocky's shirt pocket]
- Jim Rockford: They're Cuban.
- Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford: [Smiling] Oh, boy! hey; ain't they illegal, sonny?
- Jim Rockford: You gonna turn me in, or what?
- Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford: Well, I-I suppose it won't hurt us none to have a few good smokes. It won't make us into a pair of commies.
- Wass: Whatcha doin'?
- Jim Rockford: Oh just putting up my guard like I always do when somebody sticks their nose in my business.
- Wass: Your business is my business as long as you're loitering here, staring at those apartments. We're with building security.
- Jim Rockford: No you're not, you got out of that Vette back there just a minute ago.
- Vern St. Cloud: In a coupla weeks we are gonna be competing with each other all over again - dog eat dog.
- Billy Merrihew: Ah, so what, man? Let's bury the hatchet.
- Vern St. Cloud: "Bury the hatchet" - that's a catchy phrase - very original.
- Jim Rockford: Hey, c'mon, Vern - we went through a lot together - let's be friends.
- Vern St. Cloud: Well, see you guys around... hey... fellas... don't take any wooden nickels.
- Dennis Becker: There's always a big attrition rate in your business. You people are flaky, undependable...
- Jim Rockford: Hey... flaky?
- Dennis Becker: Yes. And you have your moments - admit it.
- Vern St. Cloud: You must be outta your gourd. Twenty-three years in the crummy business and I never heard anything so nuts.
