Sorel Henderson:
[Jim, Rocky, and Sorel are walking on the pier. Rocky is still upset that he was told that he was 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:

Sorel Henderson:

Jim Rockford:

Sorel Henderson:

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 wonder if there's life out on those stars like Mars.

Jim Rockford:
Mars is a planet, not a star.

Sorel Henderson:
[She points to flying sea gulls] Oh pelicans! Look, pelicans!

Jim Rockford:
[Jim and Rocky look at each other bemusedly] Look, Dad. Pelicans.
