Laura's most tender lines

Of course it's subjective, and you may have other in mind but here are some of the lines many of the viewers found tender, although sometimes it's more the way the actors deliver them than the actual words. Most of Laura's lines concern Steele and I find them a nice complement to understand her sentiments.


Laura’s most tender lines

Season 1

TEMPERED STEELE I hate it when you’re nice to me

STEELE TRAP
- Laura?
- Mm…
- Sleep well.
- You too

STEELING THE SHOW
- You know at moments like this I wish I could call you something besides Remington Steele.
- Oh?
- Then I could say Harry or Charlie or Cyril. You are good and getting better all the time. You have wonderful instincts about people, about cases. You’ve come a long way dimples.

STEELE FLYING HIGH
- Where have you been?
- I’ve had the most incredible night.
- So have I calling the hospitals every 15 minutes, checking morgues.
- Laura. I’m touched by your concern.
- Why shouldn’t I be concerned? You’re a very valuable investment. Don’t think I’ve spent this time transforming you into Remington Steele only to loose you.

VINTAGE STEELE
- You know it makes me think of…
- What?
- I don’t think I should say. It might surprise you.
- Considering recent events, I don’t think that’s possible.
-Do you think there’s any danger in feeling too much, too soon?
- It all depends on what you’re feeling.
- Something like this. ( She kisses him)
- That’s not safe at all.
- So we’ll live dangerously.

Season 2

STEELE AWAY WITH ME Wouldn’t be nice if we could get there together?

RED HOLT STEELE Don’t go/ I’m sorry/ Tonight if you asked me I don’t think I could say no.

ALTARED STEELE You know you’re rapidly becoming the man I envisioned when I created Remington Steele. Honest, courageous, caring, good humoured, sexy.

STEELE FRAMED I’ll stay with you tonight if you like.

- Only if it comes with a promise.
- What’s that?
- You will never again leave me for my own good.
- It’s a promise.

Oh, Thank Go, you’re all right. /A key to your innocence locked in my heart?

STEELE KNUCKLES AND GLASS JAWS
- Who Knows? Remington Steele might prove a good father some day.
- You’re dreaming Laura.
- Am I?
- Mm…Absolutely.

ELEGY IN STEELE I’m not crying because I’m afraid to die. I’m crying because there have been too many things in my life which were out of my control. Don’t you realize, if it was left to me I would make everything right for everyone.

SMALL TOWN STEELE
- I didn’t thank you for saving my life.
- No need. Just returning the favour.

HOUNDED STEELE But you’re really important to us Mildred. You are.


Season 3

LOFTY STEELE You could have been killed.

STILL IN CAST Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone harm Remington Steele. Yours, mine or ours.

GOURMET STEELE He lacks something. Tacky mystery.

HAVE I GOT A STEELE FOR YOU
- I want to put my arms around you, hold you, comfort you.
- Uh, sounds better than a bandage.
- But I can’t.
- Oh? Why? What’s stopping you?
- Me. You. Us.
- Ah, yes. The south of France. That wonderful agreement we made about not mixing business with pleasure.
- I know it was my idea but I’m…I’m having a hard time living with it. We’ve just…we’ve become so distant lately, so…so…
- Professional?
- Yes, damn it.

Season 4

STEELE IN THE RUNNING Don’t do anything reckless in the meantime.

PREMIUM STEELE
- Thanks what for?
- For saving my life this evening, for being here, for being you.

DANCER PRANCER DONNER AND STEELE Christmas was always one of my favourite holidays. It was the one day in the year where everyone seemed to get along with everyone, even my mother. And my father he’d always give me a box of parlaits, it’s my favourite candy in the world.

Quite an actor our Mr Steele.

SUBURBAN STEELE Don’t you think I’d like to have a family of my own someday? I’m just like any other woman out there trying to make the pieces fit.
