That's a nice idea, but he does it before she gets into the whole, you look like a druggie bit:
~Cut to Personnel room with Jim, Blair, and Vera (a clerk).~
Vera: You're required to read the manual, fill out the application materials, and sign the consent form.
Blair: Great, great. When I'm done with all this, I should qualify for a license to kill, huh?
Jim: We've got a couple of hours here, Chief. So I'm going to be leaving you in Vera's capable hands. All right?
Blair: Huh-uh.
Jim: (starts to leave, then pauses) Vera, is that White Shoulders that you're wearing?
Vera: It's not too much, is it?
Jim: No, not at all. It's just that whenever I smell White Shoulders, it reminds me of my grandmother.
Vera: Your grandmother?
Jim: Right.
Vera: Don't you have someplace to go, Detective?
Blair is shaking his head and trying not to laugh.
Jim: Right. Um, good luck.
I think it's more Jim trying to ingratiate himself so she's nice to Blair, which is pretty sweet. And he's so pleased with himself when she flutters happily and two seconds later BLOWS IT COMPLETELY BY TRYING TOO HARD. Sheesh, Jim.
