• Jim Rockford : [Jim notices Jerry Grimes is again following, so, he drives to the Mayfair Theatre in Santa Monica.Jim sits at the bar, until Jerry comes in, then he goes to the men's room, where, he gets the only other customer to leave, as Jim is planning something. Jim takes the soap dispenser off it's wall bracket, and pours it on the floor - especially in the space between him, and where Jerry will be. Then, Jerry comes into the bathroom, as well. Facing Jim, Jim - smirkig - goes into action]  You got to be one of the dumbest looking apes I ever saw.

  [Jerry stands there - 3ft. away from Rockford. Glowering] 

  Jim Rockford : Of course, you big muscle-bound guys - you're usually compensating for feelings of inadequacy

  Jerry Grimes : [Jerry - who's been silent - his eyes enlarge, his jaw muscles tense]  Meaning?

  Jim Rockford : [Chuckles, then chortles]  You know... queer.

  Jerry Grimes : [Jerry's eyes get bigger, yet, and he's obviously seething, but, all of the sudden, he smiles, and in a breathy voice speaks]  Well, that's fine, mister. That's just right. Everything's gonna be all right.

  [Jery's silent for a moment, then, let's out a yell, and takes one step towards Jim, and his leg goes up, and his back goes straight down to the floor. Jim - who's got a roll of quarters in his fist, gives Jerry a right-hook, and knocks him out]
