- Quotes
Lena Bannister: [siiting down with Steve at a small dinner table with two candles lit] I can't tell you how I've enjoyed this evening. You don't know what it's like being surrounded by muscles all day long.
Col. Steve Austin: Well, I'm one of them, remember?
Lena Bannister: [laughs] No, you're not. You're different, and, uh, very refreshing.
[pours some brandy]
Lena Bannister: Brandy?
Col. Steve Austin: Oh, no thanks. I'm in training. Rule number one- no drinking.
Lena Bannister: And do you always go by the rules?
Col. Steve Austin: When it's possible. Tell me, do you like your job with Retsky?
Lena Bannister: I get to see the world, mingle with sports celebrities. It's not a bad life. Excuse me.
Col. Steve Austin: Surely.
[when she leaves, Steve looks through her purse, but she comes back, and he puts it down]
Lena Bannister: I can't believe how difficult it's been not being able to smoke among you athletes.
Col. Steve Austin: Oh, that's rule number two- uh, don't pollute our lungs.
Lena Bannister: My last cigarette, and I promise not to blow smoke in your face.
Col. Steve Austin: You know, I heard Mr. Goldman say that some of the people Retsky's imported in the past were ringers- Nicholas Gross, for example. Remember him?
Lena Bannister: Um, uh, a soccer player from Yugoslavia. He got into some trouble I think.
Col. Steve Austin: Do you think one of the fighters might get into trouble?
[the phone rings]
Lena Bannister: Excuse me.
[walks to the phone and answer it]
Lena Bannister: Yes?
[as she talks on the phone, Steve sees "The China Trade Commission 589 E. To" written on a piece of paper in the typewriter, and a note on the desk that says, "Opening Night Boxing. The Chinese Trade Commission" with his bionic eye]
Lena Bannister: [talking into the phone] Yes that can be arranged. Ok. Consider it done. Bye.
[hangs up the phone and turns to Steve]
Lena Bannister: Mr. Retsky.
Col. Steve Austin: Well, thank you for a very nice evening.
Lena Bannister: You're leaving?
Col. Steve Austin: Rule number three- we can't stay out late. Good night.
[walks toward the door]
Lena Bannister: Steve, tell me something. Who are you really?
Col. Steve Austin: Steve Miller, America's number two-ranked amateur heavyweight.
Lena Bannister: You're good, but boxing is not your profession.
Col. Steve Austin: Well, if it isn't, I'm going to be in a lot of trouble in that ring.
[walks out the door and leaves]
Yvonne Craig (Batgirl) does well as the villainess, Steve beats the crap out of an opponent in the ring, does his usual demolition job by kicking doors down - a fairly ok episode, though the second half is best part.
