- Remington Steele: Would you like to know what I think?
- Laura Holt: About the murder?
- Remington Steele: About you. You know what you are? A workaholic. That's what you are!
- Laura Holt: No? Really? Terrible vice, you oughta try it some time
- Remington Steele: It just drives you crazy that there are no mysteries to solve, no clues to, to ponder, no suspects to, ah, suspect!
- Laura Holt: Hah! Speak for yourself! I have a mystery to solve, I have clues to ponder, I have suspects to suspect!
- Remington Steele: Ho, yes indeed! Nothing frightens Laura Holt like having time on her hands or heaven forbid that she has a second to stop and think and feel, and perhaps, perhaps actually get to close to some of the people she works with!
- Murphy Michaels: [opens the door to Laura's office & pops his head in] I heard fighting so I knew Mom and Dad were home.
- Remington Steele: [Steele is dictating his memoirs] Chapter One. It was the best of times... it was the worst of times.
- Stenographer: Shouldn't that be, It was both the best and the worst of times?
- Remington Steele: [Momentarily speechless] Really?
- [She nods her head]
- Remington Steele: Yes, you're quite right. Much more economical.
- Remington Steele: Do you think I would have dragged us all the way up here, accused all these nice, innocent people of murder, made a blooming idiot of myself if I didn't think that, when everything went awry, you'd be there to jump in? I don't ask for much Laura.
