Episode Quotes

Trask: [Rockford goes back to the street artist for more information] Been waiting for you, man. Called you over two hours ago. Don't you ever check your service?
Jim Rockford: Oh, now and then. [Rockford looks at one of the abstract paintings] You need a permit to carry one of these things?
Trask: I told you I paint what I feel.
Jim Rockford: You must not feel well!
Trask: Yeah, well, it's yours for fifty bucks.
Jim Rockford: Why would I want to buy a piece of junk like this?
Trask: Gratitude. See, I got the license number of that dude you're looking for.
Jim Rockford: [Rockford turns back and looks at the painting] You know, it does have a certain gross charm!
Trask: I thought you'd like it.

Jim Rockford: [Rockford agrees to buy a really bad abstract painting from a street vendor in exchange for information] Listen, if you ever see him again would you get his license number? I'd appreciate if if you would give me a call.
Trask: Yea, okay. [Rockford turns and walks away] Oh hey, you forgot your painting!
Jim Rockford: [Rockford looks at it again] Well not yet. But I'm trying!

Jim Rockford: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
Caller: Mr. Rockford, you don't know me but I'd like to hire you. Could you call me at... my name is, ugh... never mind, forget it.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (continuity error): Near the end, when Jim and Sara are being pursued by Dirk, the weather changes from shot to shot, alternating between shots of bright sunny weather and shots of dense dark fog.

Trivia

The message left on Jim's answering machine is: "Mr Rockford, you don't know me. I'd like to hire you. Could you call me at... My name is... Ah, forget it."
