ROCKFORD FILES QUOTES
"That number four you just picked up from Angelo’s Pizza? Some scouring powder fell in there. Don’t eat it! Hey, I hope you try your phone machine before dinner." – (message left on Jim Rockford’s answer machine)
Jim, it’s Jack. I’m at the airport. I’m going to Tokyo and I want to pay you the 0 I owe you. Catch you next year when I get back.
This is the blood bank. If you don’t have malaria, hepatitis, or TB, we’d like to have a pint of your blood.
This is the message phone company. I see you’re using our unit, now how about paying for it?
Mr. Rockford? This is the Thomas Crown School of Dance and Contemporary Etiquette. We aren’t going to call again. Now, you want these free lessons, or what?
This is Mrs. Lindis. Three times this month I come to clean and it always looks like people been fighting in there. Furniture broke, things tipped over. I’m sorry, but I quit.
Hey, Jim, it’s me. Susan Ellis from the Laundromat. You said you were going to call and it’s been two weeks. What’s wrong, you lose my number?
This is Shirley from the bank. The answers are: no, no and yes. No, we won’t loan you money. No, we won’t accept any co-signers; and yes, your account’s overdrawn. I get off at 4:30.
This is Marilyn Reed, I want to talk to you…is this a machine? I don’t talk to machines.
Jimmy, it’s Angel. Don’t pay no attention to my other message. You’re out of it. You’re clean, no trouble at all. Just ignore the first message.
Okay, pal, it’s Harry. I just checked my car. You kept the battery charged all right, you also put 3500 miles on it.
Jim? It’s Shirley at the cleaners. You know that brown jacket, the one I said looked so great on you? Your favorite. We lost it.
Hiya, Jimmy, it’s Cousin Lou. Going to be in town a coupla days. Know you won’t mind putting us up. It’s just me and Aunt Sissy and B.J. and the kids and little Freddie.
] Jim, it’s Beth. You have the vet’s number, the flea collar and extra litter. One thing I forgot, keep him away from other cats. He’s not very discriminating.
Jim, it’s Eddie. You were right about Sweet Talk in the seventh. He breezed in, paid .50. But I didn’t get your bet down.
Hi, just want to put your mind at rest. Found your address book in the theater last week. It’s in the mail. By the way, Carol’s okay, but Linda…
Teddy’s Tree House. You’ve won our free landscaping services for one full year. We’ll mow your lawn (Rockford lived on the beach in an old trailer)
Hi, this is the Happy Pet Clinic. Your father gave us this number when he left town. The calico stray had six kittens. Please come get them. Today!
Jim, thanks for taking little Billy fishing, he had a great time. Turns out he wasn’t even really seasick. Um, have you ever had chicken pox?
It’s Shirley at the Plant and Pot. There’s just no easy way to tell you this, Jim. We did everything we could. Your fern died.
] Dr. Souter’s office. This is the third time you’ve cancelled. Now, you have to have that root canal. A sore foot has nothing to do with your mouth.
Gene’s 24 Hour Emergency Plumbing. Your water heater’s blown? We’ll have somebody out there Tuesday. Thursday at the latest.
This is Dr. Souter’s office again, regarding that root canal. This doctor is in his office…waiting. He’s beginning to dislike you.
Jimmy, it’s Phil in Puerto Rico. This is real important. Talked to Mr. [line noise], he’ll pay ,000. Call him at [line noise].
Bummer! I call up with some good vibes and some positive energies, and I talk to a robot? Forget you, man!
This is the Department Of The Army. Our records show that you are the "Rockford, James" who failed to turn in his service automatic in May 1953. Contact us at once.
Jimmy, old buddy, buddy. It’s Angel! You know how they allow you one phone call? Well, this is it.
Mr. Rockford, Sue Ellen. Our class is having that crazy scavenger hunt I told you about. If you’re wondering what happened to your trailer door, it’s going to win me first prize.
Hey, I saw your ad in the classified. Three African goats for sale. I keep calling and all I get is a machine. Is that a typo in the paper, or what?
So you put your machine on at night, huh? Just because I call you at 3 A.M.? You know how bad my insomnia is. Thanks a lot Jim.
Jim? This is Manny down at Ralph’s Bar. Some guy named Angel Martin just ran up a fifty-buck bar tab. Now he wants to charge it to you. You gonna pay it?
Hey, am I too late for those African goats? Haven’t got the whole three hundred cash, but, like I’ve got a whole lot of homemade cheese. Maybe we could work something out.
Jim, it’s Grace, at the bank. I checked your Christmas Club account. You don’t have 0. You have . Sorry, computer fouls up.
Hey, Jimmy, I tried to catch you before you left. Hey, buddy, I was wrong. That rally in Mexico, it was yesterday.
Say, I’m the one who hit your car
Avon of blakes: I’m a Rockford fan too. We have it on one of the cable channels now (1532) and it reminded me again of how much I have missed it! It was one of a kind…
