Quotes 

• Laura Holt : [tears building in her eyes]  Tonight, if you asked me... I don't think I could say no.

  Remington Steele : Tonight, I don't think that I could ask.

  [Steele kisses Laura on her cheek. She takes his palm and kisses it] 

  Remington Steele : Get some rest. We have work to do in the morning.

• Remington Steele : In case you hadn't noticed, someone out there's trying very hard to kill you.

  Laura Holt : I can take care of myself. I have for a long time now.

  Remington Steele : Yes, well that was before it made a difference to me.

  Laura Holt : And now?

  Remington Steele : Now, we're going to have some noodle soup. It comes out of those little foil packets these days. Then you're going to have the unprecedented honor of sleeping in my bed, uh, pajamas optional, while I keep company with the couch. But no matter how you slice it, you're stuck with me tonight, so I suggest you make the best of it.

• Remington Steele : You know me, for the right woman there's no limit to the depths I'll sink.

• Laura Holt : [yelling]  I'm not running from this!

  Remington Steele : [yelling back]  So don't run, but at least have the common sense to stop and take a breath!

• Laura Holt : Well, before giving us the results of your excavation, Mildred, there's a small administrative point we need to address.

  [Laura slaps Remington's feet off the desk] 

  Laura Holt : While it is more than apparent that Mr. Steele here is the senior member of the firm, the fact is that for the nuts and bolts operation, we're more or less, um, equals. Wouldn't you say, Mr. Steele?

  Remington Steele : One might even go so far as to say that Miss Holt is sort of in charge of such things.

  Mildred Krebs : He's the boss, but you're in charge?

  Remington Steele : Having worked for the government, Mildred I wouldn't think the concept is beyond your grasp.

• [Laura and Steele are spying on their suspect, Mr. Thorpe. Laura pretends to be a jogger, while Steele uses a camera to watch Thorpe and his two companions, Eldon Veckmer and Greg Keever. Steele takes pictures of the three. The three men speak, without suspecting Laura, who stands nearby. As they get closer, Laura switches on a sound detector, which allows her to eavesdrop their conversation] 

  Stuart Thorpe : [to Keever]  Of course this'll help, but we're gonna need you with us before too long.

  Greg Keever : I don't know. I mean, it wasn't just Stony. My wife and I we're friends with those people, and then there's my contract...

  Eldon Veckmer : [interrupts]  Why don't we let the foundation dictate those decisions for the time being, Mr. Thorpe? And then we'll see...

  [suddenly, a beeping comes out of Veckmer's pocket. The three men stop] 

  Stuart Thorpe : What's that?

  [Veckmer drops his cigarette, takes a gadget out of his pocket and moves it about] 

  Stuart Thorpe : We're being bugged?

  Eldon Veckmer : Be quiet.

  Laura Holt : It dropped off. What's happening?

  Remington Steele : Thorpe's in the way. Can't tell.

  [as Veckmer points the gadget in Laura's direction, the beeping gets louder] 

  Stuart Thorpe : [points at Laura]  It's coming from her!

  Greg Keever : What do we do?

  Stuart Thorpe : Well, we stop her!

  [Thorpe heads for Laura] 

  Eldon Veckmer : Thorpe. Thorpe. Don't! Don't!

  [Thorpe ignores Veckmer and continues running toward Laura. Keever joins him, while Veckmer stays behind] 

  Laura Holt : I got trouble!

  Remington Steele : On my way.

  [Laura runs away. Thorpe and Keever chase her]
