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

  Caller : Mr. Rockford, you don't know me but I'd like to hire you. Could you call me at... my name is, ugh... never mind, forget it.

• Jim Rockford : [Rockford agrees to buy a really bad abstract painting from a street vendor in exchange for information]  Listen, if you ever see him again would you get his license number? I'd appreciate if if you would give me a call.

  Trask : Yea, okay.

  [Rockford turns and walks away] 

  Trask : Oh hey, you forgot your painting!

  Jim Rockford : [Rockford looks at it again]  Well not yet. But I'm trying!

• Trask : [Rockford goes back to the street artist for more information]  Been waiting for you, man. Called you over two hours ago. Don't you ever check your service?

  Jim Rockford : Oh, now and then.

  [Rockford looks at one of the abstract paintings] 

  Jim Rockford : Do you need a permit to carry a thing like this?

  Trask : I told you, I paint what I feel.

  Jim Rockford : You must not feel well.

  Trask : Yeah, well, it's yours for fifty bucks.

  Jim Rockford : Why would I want to buy a piece of junk like this?

  Trask : Gratitude. See, I got the license number of that dude you're looking for.

  Jim Rockford : [Rockford turns back and looks at the painting]  You know, it does have a certain gross charm!

  Trask : I thought you'd like it.
