- Maxwell Smart: Hello, operator? Now listen to me and listen carefully... I want you to get me a special Washington phone number. This is a top secret number. Only a few people know it. I want you to forget it the minute that I tell it to you. The number is 628-3097.
- Telephone Operator: Oh, you want CONTROL. One moment, please.
- Chief: Hello?
- Maxwell Smart: Hello, Chief? Uh, this is Max. Uh, listen, Chief, you want to hear something funny? I'm drowning in a phone booth.
- Chief: Drowning in a phone booth?
- Maxwell Smart: Yes, Chief. You see, what I told you about Mrs. Sloan, that was right. She didn't... she didn't drown in the river.
- # 99: Max, please tell him where we are.
- Maxwell Smart: Oh, right, 99. Uh, Chief, I think we're gonna need... I think we're gonna need help in a hurry.
- Chief: Where are you, Max?
- Maxwell Smart: Uh...
- [the call is cut off]
- Telephone Operator: I'm sorry, your time is up. Insert ten cents more, please.
- Maxwell Smart: But operator, I don't have any more change, and this is a matter of life and death.
- Telephone Operator: That's what they all say, sir.
- Chief: Max, be reasonable. How could a girl drown in a phone booth?
- Maxwell Smart: How do I know? Maybe she couldn't swim.
