Quotes 

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

  Caller : Hey, Jim, it's me, Susie Loomis from the laundromat. You said you were gonna call and it's been two weeks. What's wrong, you lose my number?

• Alfred Bannister : [Jim's been invited to lunch with Mr. Bannister, where Mr. Bannister plans to 'lay out the cards', as it were, if Jim continues to try to get his wife, Linda, to testify on Charlie Harris' behalf]  It's going to get pretty expensive for you, this... adventure.

  Jim Rockford : I don't see how that could happen. I've cased the deck pretty well, and I know what 'trump' is.

  Alfred Bannister : You do, huh? Well try this out: If you continue this investigation, or try, in any way, to involve my wife, I will call some people that I know in Europe, and they will fly over here one night, and they will locate you. They will put a bullet in your head and will be gone within the hour. Now, and that's a 'trump' I presume you probably did not figure on.

  Jim Rockford : [Jim thinks for a minute]  It also lacks finesse.

  Alfred Bannister : Well, I've found in my business dealings that the higher you make the risk - out of proportion to the gain - the more people are likely to sit out the hand.
