Sting of Steele (1983)

Pierce Brosnan: Remington Steele

Quotes 

• Remington Steele : Nothing titillates the senses more than a first rate sting.

  Daniel Chalmers : You ever miss it?

  Remington Steele : Oh, I have the occasional wishful longing, a pang or two of regret.

  Daniel Chalmers : What do you do about it?

  Remington Steele : Cheat at solitaire until the feeling passes.

• Remington Steele : Laura, simply because a man earns his living on the shady side of the street doesn't mean that he's beyond human emotions. That he can't care very deeply and very passionately for someone. And he even might attempt to make a change.

• Daniel Chalmers : You've come a long way, my boy.

  Remington Steele : Thanks in no small part to your excellent tutelage.

  Daniel Chalmers : I think this is another instance of the student surpassing the teacher.

  Remington Steele : [exhales] 

  Daniel Chalmers : You, a renowned private investigator. Mind-boggling.

  Remington Steele : Hm. Actually, I find it rather novel helping people.

• [Laura has phoned Steele] 

  Remington Steele : Steele here.

  Laura Holt : You sound awful.

  Remington Steele : [pinching his nose]  Beastly cold, beastly.

  Laura Holt : What's that noise?

  Remington Steele : [talking from the limo phone, at an airfield]  Noise?

  Laura Holt : Sounds like an airplane.

  Remington Steele : I'm watching a movie, um, 30 Seconds Over Tokyo, heroic stuff. Makes me proud to be in your brave country. Well, I have to go now, Laura, time for my medication. And please, Laura, don't under any circumstances come to my apartment. One of us has to stay healthy.

  [hangs up limo phone] 

  Remington Steele : Wonderful invention, that call forwarding.

• Remington Steele : I realize trust is not something bestowed but earned and on the face of it, I've done nothing to earn yours.

  Laura Holt : Notice how I'm not jumping in to argue with you?
