One of my favorite Jim Rockford quotes: [View all]

One of my favorite Jimmy Rockford quotes:

From the episode, The Countess, September 27, 1974. Jim was helping a young lady get her life in order while investigating her being blackmailed.

Towards the end Jim was asked by Susan Strasberg (The Countess), paraphrasing,

“How do you deal with stress and sorrow and some regrets in life?”

And Jimbo said:

“We're all scared to death. I guess that's a penalty we pay for living in a world where all the price tags end in 99 cents and they sell mortuary plots on billboards next to the freeway. What you do is... you just keep laughing. Just... keep laughing.”

One of my favorite episodes. Beth Davenport, the lawyer, makes her first appearance. Dick Gautier plays a sleazy guy Jim has to, well, straighten up.
