Jim Rockford:
[Usiing a southern drawl] Mr. Gerald A. O'Malley?

Gerald A. O'Malley:
Yeah?

Jim Rockford:
Yeah, this is Roger Martel, sir. Kern County civil defense.

Gerald A. O'Malley:

Jim Rockford:

Gerald A. O'Malley:
Now, wait a minute. What's the yield, man? What's the yield? Am I in the kill radius?

Jim Rockford:

Gerald A. O'Malley:
Oh, shut up! I've got 1 million things to do here! [O'Malley slams down phone]
