Private Eye


Like Jim Rockford from Rockford Files?

Yep, who'd you think I was talking about? Magnum? Right. I'm also partial to the Private Eyes that Hall and Oates sing about.

Pros:

Private Eyes <clap, clap> are watching you. They see your every move.

$200 a day, plus expenses.

You may do well enough to drive a gold Pontiac Firebird.

Damsels in distress.

Rocky's a pretty cool old man to have.

Cons:

You don't have a permit for your revolver, so you have to keep it in your cookie jar.

Having to wade through all your answering machine messages.

You'll awaken in the morning to a surprising number of people standing over your bed, holding a gun.

You'll also get punched. A lot.

Angel's continuous parade of harebrained schemes.

Quotes:

Jim Rockford's Answering Machine: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
Angel Martin: Jimmy, old buddy buddy! It's Angel! You know how they allow you one phone call? Well, this is it.

Jim Rockford: A senator and a bus driver? What's the connection?
Lance White: This is just a hunch but I'd say the bus driver had something on the senator. Like maybe the senator was having an affair with the bus driver's wife.
Jim Rockford Lance, where did that come from?
Lance White: It didn't come from anywhere Jim it's just a hunch. I get a hunch, it turns out to be right and the case is solved. I don't know how you make a living as a private eye Jim. You don't seem to know any of this stuff.

Jim Rockford But I will need a diversion so I can get back to Bloomberg's room and try to talk to him.
Angel Martin: Ohh. Now we're getting to the nitty-gritty. Now it's beginning to make sense. 'Come on over to Rocky's, Angel.' Serve my favorite food. First time I been invited over here for so much as a glass of water.
Rocky Rockford: I could use a little help in the kitchen with the coffee and dessert.
Angel Martin: Forget about the dessert, you don't buy Angel Martin with a couple of drumsticks and some redeye gravy.
