  Ruth Beetson-White : Jim, listen. I know you didn't get the best deal out of this. Well I tell you what, if money's your problem I think I may have a solution. First I want to thank you for saving my life, and I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with a way to express my gratitude, and I finally did.

  [she lifts her hand from where it's been resting on his shoulder and begins to play with the hair above the nape of his neck] 

  Jim Rockford : [smiles]  You don't really have to do anything, I mean...

  Ruth Beetson-White : Oh, yes, I do. As you may know, I'm always on the lookout for a good man.

  Jim Rockford : I've heard it said...

  Ruth Beetson-White : And now that I'm going to be devoting full attention to the fight business, the dealer management job's wide open; I'd bet you'd look terrific in a red blazer...

  Jim Rockford : Not a chance.

  Ruth Beetson-White : Baby, come on! Think of it! You know, you could do the Spanish speaking commercial. You'd become a celebrity!

  Jim Rockford : I'm sorry, but I don't tap dance.

  Ruth Beetson-White : [looking into his eyes]  At least have dinner with me, huh? We could go to my place...

  Jim Rockford : I'm sorry, Ruth, but I'm a little old-fashioned, you know. I, uh, I like to open the doors and light the cigarettes and make the passes.

  Ruth Beetson-White : [she takes her hand away]  A-a-a-h, you're right! I'm sorry! There I go, again! I'm sorry, really...

  Jim Rockford : [smiles again]  Ah, it's okay...

  Ruth Beetson-White : [puts her arm around his shoulders]  We'll go to your place.
