The Rockford Files1974

Richie Brockelman:
[Jim and Richie are sitting in Richie's car - Richie bemoaning how now that Tooley's either dead or missing, he has no one older to discuss cases with, bounce ideas off of, and, perhaps get advice] I just think sometimes it's good to sit down and talk things out, like you and I have been doing.

Jim Rockford:
[Jim shifts uncomfortably in his seat] Yeah, well, I, uh... run some of this stuff by Rocky. He has his own ideas on most of it.

Richie Brockelman:
Yeah? Like what?

Jim Rockford:
Oh, you know [Sniling at Richie, hoping that'll suffice as an answer] .

Richie Brockelman:
No, no, I'd really like to hear. I mean, what kind of advice does he give you?

Jim Rockford:
Oh... 'life is like a red Ford,' that's one. And, it's better off keeping that Ford in neutral, than revving your engine all the time.'

Richie Brockelman:
What's that got to do with being a private eye?

Jim Rockford:
Nothing. Nothing. Doesn't have anything at all to do with it. Just something he says.
