- Peggy Becker: Just what is a buff?
- Dennis Becker: [looking uncomfortable] Buff? Well... well, it's a citizen who is uh, fascinated by police work. Like, you know, people who are into CB radios and Broadway shows. These people are "buffs" as we call them. They like to spend time around the station house, get to know the fellas, sorta hang out...
- Peggy Becker: [not looking amused] Dennis, that's not a buff, that's a groupie!
- Jim Rockford: This is James Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
- Esther: This is Esther, your father's friend. So you're helping me move. That's it? You couldn't call? See if maybe I don't like the new place? See if maybe there's some painting to be done...?
- Lianne Sweeny: Jim Rockford, Jim Rockford...Newton Street Division, 1968, Watts Riots!
- Jim Rockford: No...
- Lianne Sweeny: No, don't tell me, don't tell me! Metro!
- Dennis Becker: Jim Rockford's a private investigator, Lianne.
- Lianne Sweeny: [looking as though she smells something bad] Oh...
- Lianne Sweeny: It may interest you to know that Sergeant Becker rolled a code three to a major four-fifteen which could have turned out to be a one-eighty-seven.
- Jim Rockford: I flunked math.
- Lianne Sweeny: Hey, who's that who just walked into the shooting review?
- Off. Al Mazursky: Oh, Lieutenant Chapman, ma'am.
- Lianne Sweeny: Lieutenant, huh? Anyone told him he looks a little bit like Kirk Douglas?
- 'Anthony Boy' Gagglio: Whadda they call this, a pizza?
- Syl: It ain't so bad, Tony.
- 'Anthony Boy' Gagglio: Ain't so bad? How can you say that. You been eatin' New York pizza all your life, you gonna make a statement like that? Back in Sheepshead Bay they throw up on crust like this. It's all cheese. Where's the tomato sauce, hunh? It ain't a pizza, it's a grilled cheese sandwich. California...
