Rudy Wells: It got bent landing. I can't open it.
Jaime Sommers: Would you care to make way for the six million dollar can opener?

....

Rudy Wells:The tables have turned, huh? The bionic daughter taking care of the old man? Worries about him too...
Jaime Sommers: I do not. This is just a job, and you're just another person who happened to bring me back from the dead, and hold my hand through all of my traumas, and gave me another chance at life... and Steve... and besides being one of my favorite people, I mean, what have you done for me lately, Mister. Wells?

....

Rudy Wells: Thanks for saving my life, Jaime.
Jaime Sommers: Well, it was purely selfish. Besides that, where would I go for spare parts if anything happened to you, huh?
