- Jim Rockford: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
- Caller: Uncle Jim? It's Ralph. I got your letter, but I moved out here anyway. I *really* want those detective lessons!
- Karen Stiles: You know, I wasn't sure you were going to show up. I mean three years is more than just a little interlude. Why did you?
- Jim Rockford: Oh, let's just say I was curious.
- Karen Stiles: Curious? That emotion doesn't hold much fire.
- Jim Rockford: Well Karen, it was three years ago. We did our little torch dance, and as I recall we ended up getting a little singed.
- Karen Stiles: Well, I heal quickly.
- Jim Rockford: Well, I don't. So let's just start with curiosity and we'll see where it goes from there.
- Murray Slauson: Lederer was having an affair with this Stiles broad. And that's about all I'm gonna tell you, Rockford. Yeah, I know who you are. I study all my competition, even though you ain't much.
- [CHUCKLING]
- Murray Slauson: Jim Rockford, the con bull artist. You never run a straight line in your life. It's guys like you that give the PI business a bad name. Now, get out of here, bug, before I squash you.
- Jim Rockford: Well, I can understand how you'd feel that way, I mean, looking through bedroom windows and taking dirty pictures must be more spiritually rewarding.
- Murray Slauson: Stuff it, Rockford.
- Jim Rockford: I'm in a *lousy* mood! Spending the night in the slammer *usually* has that effect on me.
- Jim Rockford: Now why'd you set me up?
- Karen Stiles: I didn't. I didn't, and if you don't know me any better than that, then there's nothing for us even to talk about.
- Jim Rockford: Oh now wait a minute, there's a lot for us to talk about. And what right do you have to look so wounded?
- Dennis Becker: That's a federal beef, you know.
- Jim Rockford: I know!
- Beth Davenport: That's a federal beef, you know.
- Jim Rockford: I know, I know!
- Rocky: ...him and me both warned you against that one.
- Jim Rockford: I could have gone the rest of my life without you saying that and never missed it.
