Sorel Henderson : [Jim, Rocky, and Sorel are walking on the pier. Rocky is still upset that he was told that he is too old to be an organ donor] Now that I'm out of a job, maybe I'll get into something really challenging.
Jim Rockford : Yeah? Like what?
Sorel Henderson : I always wanted to be an "astro-nom-omer".
Jim Rockford : Naw, that's pronounced "a-stron-o-mer".
Sorel Henderson : Oh, well. Same job, no matter what. Looking at stars and wondering if there are other types of life out there.
Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford : I got me a liver as good as any in the country!
Jim Rockford : Sorel wants to be an astronomer, Dad. Isn't that great?
Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford : I'd like to see that Dr. Bosco, whatever his name, I'd like to see his kidneys! I bet they ain't any better than mine! Some things improve with age!
Sorel Henderson : I wonder if there's life out on those stars like Mars.
Jim Rockford : Mars is a planet, not a star.
Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford : My heart! My heart's been beating once a second for almost 70 years! You can't knock that!
Sorel Henderson : [She points to flying sea gulls] Oh! Pelicans! Look, pelicans!
