• Karen Stiles : You know, I wasn't sure you were going to show up. I mean three years is more than just a little interlude. Why did you?

  Jim Rockford : Oh, let's just say I was curious.

  Karen Stiles : Curious? That emotion doesn't hold much fire.

  Jim Rockford : Well Karen, it was three years ago. We did our little torch dance, and as I recall we ended up getting a little singed.

  Karen Stiles : Well, I heal quickly.

  Jim Rockford : Well, I don't. So let's just start with curiosity and we'll see where it goes from there.

• Jim Rockford : Now why'd you set me up?

  Karen Stiles : I didn't. I didn't, and if you don't know me any better than that, then there's nothing for us even to talk about.

  Jim Rockford : Oh now wait a minute, there's a lot for us to talk about. And what right do you have to look so wounded?
