Quotes 

• [Laura's car speeds into a dirt parking lot at a vineyard, tires screeching, she suddenly turning the car, and it halts to a stop right in front of a building] 

  Remington Steele : Well, you certainly taught that road a lesson it won't soon forget.

  Laura Holt : No sense in dragging this thing out.

  [the three of them get out of the car] 

  Wilson Jeffries : It's inside, I'll show you.

  [Laura walks inside the building] 

  Remington Steele : Oh. Uh, if you don't mind my asking Wilson... uh, when you and Miss Holt were, uh, uhm...

  [moving his hands] 

  Wilson Jeffries : Cohabitating.

  Remington Steele : Yes, uh.

  [Clears throat, continues moving his hands] 

  Remington Steele : Was her driving always so, uh... exuberant?

  Wilson Jeffries : If anything, it's gotten a little better. But I'm sure you know how she is. Impulsive, uninhibited... absurdly passionate. It must get trying for you at times, keeping her in check.

  Remington Steele : Oh, well, I do what I can. Hmm.

  [Wilson goes inside] 

  Remington Steele : [to himself, looking baffled]  Absurdly passionate, eh?

• [Remington, Laura and Claude are sitting around a wine barrel, containing a body that was found at the vineyard, as they hide it from potential investors] 

  Laura Holt : It would appear someone might be using Harry here to sabotage your deal.

  Claude Vandermeer : Harry? You found out his name. That's great.

  Remington Steele : Yes, well, I'm afraid it's more endearing than accurate. This neighbor of yours, Werner... do you think he might be responsible?

  Claude Vandermeer : Well, he's not one of my bigger fans, but I can't believe he's capable of killing anyone. My mother on the other hand...

  Remington Steele : Thick and stormy past, eh?

  Claude Vandermeer : When I was nine, I set up a lemonade stand. My mother told me the key to good lemonade was to scratch the sugar and double the salt. And when I had a paper route, she used to go through my papers everyday and take out the funnies. She's always had this problem with me succeeding, and she knows that this wine is my chance to finally make it on my own. I wouldn't put anything past her. Not after watching her drive my father, Arnold, to his grave.

  Laura Holt : Your father's name was Arnold?

  [Laura and Remington exchange a look, as they both know that Claude's mother's horse is named Arnold] 

• Wilson Jeffries : I saw that body in the vat, and suddenly I thought to myself..."What would Laura do about this?".

  Laura Holt : So you stuffed him in the trunk of a car and ran away with it.

  Remington Steele : Are you talking about this Laura here?
