Jim Rockford:
Boy, I hate going to these things!

Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford:
Well, the older you get the more of 'em you're gonna go to. You know, it seemed to me that here a while back I was going to the funeral of a good friend once a week. Then a couple of years ago it sort of started to steady out. You know the way I've got it figured, sonny?

Jim Rockford:
Rocky, have you seen my wallet?

Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford:
Now take automobiles. Supposing Detroit was to build a hundred thousand red Fords. Well, at the end of five years you're gonna lose half of them red Fords: it'll be in the wrecking yard. Then, five years later, another thirty percent of 'em are gonna be gone because of accidents or bad driving. Well that means, that after that time is all over, that you're gonna have a coupla of hundred red Fords that, because they was put together good and driven carefully, are gonna be around forever.

Jim Rockford:
I'm looking for my wallet, Rocky. Is it on the desk?

Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford:
You know it wouldn't hurt you none to put your own Ford in neutral, the way you're always chasing around and working on one dangerous case or another! You know you ain't even had time to go fishing or hunting with me? So the way I see it, that is no way for you to rack up a hundred thousand miles on your dash.

Jim Rockford:
Would you like to get your Ford out of my chair, I'm trying to find my wallet! [Rocky gets up from the desk and Jim finds it in the desk drawer] There it is, right in the glove compartment!
