Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for June 08, 2012
Transcript:
Cobra's reliving her teenage years. Alert the authorities! Cobra: So, uh - what high school do you go to? Rip: The high school of danger, kid. Cobra: Kid? You aren't much older than me. Rip: Maybe, but my line of work ages a man - to like at least 19. Cobra: You're cute - in a dumb dog kinda way. Do you have a girlfriend? Rip: (Gulp) maybe! I'm waiting for Lindsay Wagner to write me back! Cobra: Sorry. When I like a boy, I aim for my target and shoot! Rip: Kinda like a sugar bullet.

“My line of work ages a man – to like at least 19” would be said by someone younger than that, so I believe young Rip is in his mid-teens. From the dialog, Cobra is a bit younger. If Rip’s in his early 30s now, that would put the scene in the mid-90s. Perhaps he fell for Lindsay after seeing “Bionic Ever After” (1994), or more likely from reruns of the 70s series. Lindsay Wagner the 2007 Playmate doesn’t fit this timeline. Also, I think young Rip was more likely to be interested in a woman who was shown throwing villains over a barn than one who just poses.

I think the Lindsay Wagner reference doen’t show Rip’s age as much as it shows Dan’s.(Lindsay Wagner, Linda Carter, Yvonne Craig … sigh.)

So, that’s where that nickname came from…How can Rip NOT remember that?

So this means that, even if Cobra was “brainwashed” into faling for Rip later, she really had already fallen for him earlier, right?
