Quotes 

• Evelyn 'Angel' Martin : Sucker bets! Would I bring you sucker bets?

  Jim Rockford : You'd bring me a dead rat in your teeth if you thought there was twenty bucks in it for you!

• Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford #2 : You're gonna see a real princess... dressed like that?

  Jim Rockford : Well sure Dad, I don't have much choice. My satin knee britches and barouche are still at the cleaners.

• Jim Rockford : This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.

  Betty Farnell : [Beeep]  This is Betty Farnell. I don't know who to call, but I can't reach my foodaholics partner! I'm at Vito's on my second pizza with sausages and mushrooms; Jim come and get me!

• Jim Rockford : This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.

  Janelle : [Beeep]  Jim, this is Janelle. I'm flying tonight so I can't make our date, and I've got to find a safe place for Danny. He loves you Jim! It's only two days and you'll see, Great Danes are no problem...

• Jim Rockford : You said you wanted to see me Dennis?

  [Angel waves at Rockford] 

  Jim Rockford : Did you call me in because of him? I'm in the middle of a murder investigation.

  Dennis Becker : And I'm right in the middle of my night off. Your friend Mr. Martin here thought you might be able to shed some light on how he happens to be housing eight Shetland ponies in a residential garage.

  Angel : Jimmy, they got everybody including the Humane Society on my case. It's a three car garage, there's plenty of room, I even left a light on.

  Jim Rockford : I don't have time for this, Angel. Kendall was almost killed tonight, Princess Rachevsky is on her way down here to the station.

  Angel : You haven't got time for this? It's because of your princess and you I got into this mess.

  Jim Rockford : No, no, Angel, you got yourself into it. You always do.

  Angel : That's it? That's your statement on my behalf?

  Jim Rockford : That's it.

  [Turns around and leaves] 

  Angel : Look, look, Dennis... uh, Lieutenant...

  Dennis Becker : This is Robbery/Homicide. Let's move it down to Bunco.

  Angel : Bunco? Why, because I'm unfamiliar with your zoning laws?

  Dennis Becker : Because besides finding the eight ponies, we found a forged British passport and a letter of recommendation from Queen Elizabeth! Let's go, Duke!
