"Remington Steele" Etched in Steele (TV Episode 1982) - Pierce Brosnan as Remington Steele

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.
