Quotes8

  • Marty Brine: Windsor Castle is also mentioned in the Doomsday book of 1084. This is just some of the useless information that I carry around with me.
  • [smiles broadly]
  • Marty Brine: It's funny how people who live in a place don't know as much about it as people who visit.
  • Purdey: Well I knew that, I just didn't want to get into a long, boring explanation.
  • Purdey: [to Gambit] Well, you can be telepathic. About five drinks and ten minutes after midnight in a discoteque I can sometimes tell what your thinking. But this time...
  • Purdey: [Marty has been shot] We have a dinner date, remember?
  • Purdey: ?
  • [he nods]
  • Purdey: I hate a man who stands me up.
  • Purdey: [he dies] Marty!
  • John Steed: That was without a doubt the worst landing I've ever seen.
  • Mike Gambit: Well, we're all down in one piece, aren't we?
  • John Steed: Not quite.
  • [winces in pain]
  • John Steed: My arm's broken.
  • Purdey: Are you sure?
  • John Steed: [a beat] It is my arm.
  • John Steed: Ever been on the wrong end of charging rhino?
  • Purdey: Well, not this week, no.
  • John Steed: I had that misfortune once, a flag shot won't do. The only chance is to go straight for the brain.
  • Purdey: Me Tarzan. No, that's not right. Me Jane. No. Me Purdey.
  • John Steed: Don't worry about me.
  • Mike Gambit: Don't you ever worry about me.
  • John Steed: Sometimes, yeah.
  • Mike Gambit: Well what's wrong with me worrying about you? There's nothing in the rulebook about me worrying about you.
  • John Steed: There's nothing about not worrying either.
  • Mike Gambit: Look, I...
  • Purdey: Look this is very touching, but can't we keep the semantics 'till later, they're forming to march up here.
  • Soo Choy: But you're not laughing now, Mr. Gambit.
  • Purdey: Well, I've heard it before.
