Jim Rockford : Yeah well, we got snarled up in a case in August. I ended up doing 90 days on a county honor farm.
Lance White : Well, I'm sorry about that Jim, but I had my client's interests to protect, and you did break into that hotel room.
Jim Rockford : What client? Who where you working for? Nobody seemed to know.
Lance White : Well, that was kind of a strange one, those three little boys hired me.
Jim Rockford : The triplets? They were only eight years old.
Lance White : Yeah well, when their folks were killed by the mob, I kind of took 'em in. Finally, I made arrangements for them to live on a friend's farm in Vermont.
Jim Rockford : Isn't that nice? A happy ending. We all got to go to a farm.

Jim Rockford : A senator and a bus driver? What's the connection?
Lance White : This is just a hunch but I'd say the bus driver had something on the senator. Like maybe the senator was having an affair with the bus driver's wife.
Jim Rockford : Lance, where did that come from?
Lance White : It didn't come from anywhere Jim, it's just a hunch. I get a hunch; it turns out to be right and the case is solved. I don't know how you make a living as a private eye, Jim. You don't seem to know any of this stuff.

Lance White : I hate it when anybody dies. Even someone like Blackwood. I'm sure he wasn't a bad guy at heart probably.
Jim Rockford : Oh yeah, you throw out the cocaine busts and what, a little pushing around the high schools and what have you got left? Just a sweet guy with a problem.
