The Rockford Files: Godfather Knows Best (1996 TV Movie)

Damian Chapa: Scotty Becker

Quotes 

• Jim Rockford : Scotty, is there anything I can do for you?

  Scotty Becker : Yeah, quit looking down on me for starters; not everybody can march to your Republican drum.

  Jim Rockford : I don't vote any ticket. And I never lectured you in that way.

• Jim Rockford : You have to promise me you'll use this to clean up and get a job.

  [counting out some big money in front of Scotty] 

  Scotty Becker : So there's strings attached to this Mother Teresa moolah, huh?

  Jim Rockford : As it applies to you, if Mother Teresa met a nut like you, she'd go out and buy herself a BMW.

  Scotty Becker : You people love to demonize us homeless.

  Jim Rockford : You people? Say, I'm your Godfather. And as far as being homeless, yeah, I have a little problem with that term in your case; maybe it's because I remember the eighteenth what trailer your dad co-signed for. What was that? The Travelin' Jack Kerouac museum? Of course that was long before the kayaks.

  Scotty Becker : Come on, Jim, that wasn't my fault, that could have been huge. I just couldn't get the rights to the Jim Kerouac estate.

  Jim Rockford : Yeah, well, some Republicans might have nailed that down before they bought the trailer. Oh, yeah, and then there was the tragedy with the trailer hitch; a design flaw, wasn't it?

• Scotty Becker : Dad, Jim, you're hardwired to this dualism thing. Mom, you too. Good, bad, pain, pleasure, it's all one; are not this prison and Temple equally conducive to sitting and meditating?

  [after getting out of jail, still dressed like a Buddhist monk] 

  Jim Rockford : You might find sitting a bit mroe painful in prison...
