Quotes 

• Jay Austin : He's gonna take one look at you and me talking and he's gonna figure out right off what's going on.

  Donna Caldwell : What's going on?

  Jay Austin : How attracted you are to me. You'll have him climbing the walls. Then later, when he gets you alone, he's gonna tell you what a jerk I am, and he's gonna order you to stay away from me.

  Donna Caldwell : No. My father doesn't order me to do anything. We have an agreement.

  Jay Austin : He'll break it.

  Donna Caldwell : No he won't. We made it when I was 7 years old.

  Jay Austin : You were never 7 years old.

• Donna Caldwell : Say something.

  Jay Austin : What?

  Donna Caldwell : That's a start.

  Jay Austin : I'm Inspector Jay Austin, San Francisco Police Department.

  Donna Caldwell : [laughs]  You didn't do that right.

  Jay Austin : I didn't?

  Donna Caldwell : [shakes her head]  No, you're supposed to show me your ID.

  Jay Austin : Oh. Close the door.

  [she hesitates] 

  Jay Austin : Close the door.

  [she does so; he rings the bell and she opens again; this time he holds the badge up before his face] 

  Jay Austin : Hello, I'm Inspector Austin, San Francisco Police Department.

  [as she smiles:] 

  Jay Austin : I'm looking for Colonel Caldwell.

  Donna Caldwell : This is where he lives. He works somewhere else.

  [shakes her head] 

  Jay Austin : I figured that.

  Donna Caldwell : You wanna wait on the porch, Inspector Jay Austin?

  Jay Austin : No.

  [shakes his head] 

  Jay Austin : I wanna come in.

  [nods] 

• Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell : You're not going out dressed like that, are you?

  Donna Caldwell : Like what?

  Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell : Well, you can see right through that dress. You might just as well go out without one.

  Donna Caldwell : There's a thought.

• Jay Austin : You look great!

  Donna Caldwell : Some people say I look like my father.

  Jay Austin : Christ, what a thought!
