Episode Quotes

Gandolph Fitch: [limousine phone buzzes] Hey Gabby, you got your phone fixed.
Marcus 'Gabby' Hayes: ...yeah... Hello, Marcus Oerilius Hayes.
Tom Flannery: [condescending voice] Mr. Hayes this is Tom Flannery at Limousine World. How much longer are you going to need our car, sir, on a trial basis before you decide to buy it?
Marcus 'Gabby' Hayes: Well, Mr. Flannery, I may need it a little longer, you see, I've been thinking of buying a fleet of five or six...
Tom Flannery: [voice becomes obsequious] Of course, Mr Hayes! Take as long as you like!
Marcus 'Gabby' Hayes: [chuckles] Thanks my good man.
Gandolph Fitch: Hayes, without your mouth you'd be just like me!
Jim Rockford: Sons often send flowers to their dead parents, especially Catholics, so you find the mother's grave, find where the flowers are being sent from. Then you go to the flower shop, look at the account, trace the man who sent the flowers and then bingo, up pops your missing heir.
Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford #2: That is really smart!
Jim Rockford: Well, I'm pretty good at it Dad, and it's safe; [he glances at the can in Rocky's hand] it buys ham for Gandy to eat and beer for you to drink...
Jim Rockford: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
George Debohn: [Beeep] George Debohn, Malibu Space Watch. Had three sightings last week. You see anything unusual? Your television reception interrupted? Call 555-1313.

Trivia

  • This episode is where Gandy gives Marcus Hayes the nickname "Gabby".
  • This episode was a pilot for a possible spin-off television show starring returning "Rockford Files" characters Marcus 'Gabby' Hayes (Louis Gossett Jr.) and Gandolph 'Gandy' Fitch (Isaac Hayes) as a pair of private investigators- one a smooth talker (Hayes) and the other the muscle (Fitch). The show was not picked up.
