• Vern St. Cloud : I mean I checked the phone books, I checked all of the model agencies...

  Jim Rockford : That's a waste of time, she's not a model. All right, she's blue eyed, very thin, but both of you said she was 5'-4". You've got to be at least 5'-7" to be a model; designer's clothes hang better on taller women.

  Vern St. Cloud : Who are you? Eve St. Lawrence?
