- Dr. Martin King: [on phone] Did you know that we've just found another victim?
- John Steed: [on other line] Hm?
- Dr. Martin King: The air hostess, and she's still alive.
- John Steed: Has she said anything?
- Dr. Martin King: No, she's still unconcious, she may not come round for several hours...
- John Steed: [interrupting] Well, I'm counting on you to keep her alive.
- Dr. Martin King: Oh, thanks for reminding me.
- [Steed describes Dr. King to a nun]
- John Steed: Dr. King, where can I find him? Oh, eh, he's sort of medium height... a man.
- John Steed: Isn't that unusual?
- Hughes: Every crash is unusual. That's why we have to hold an inquiry.
- Vincent O'Brien: I think we can squeeze another drop out of this one, sir.
- [refills Steed's glass]
- John Steed: Ah, you're a bad boy. Eh, eh!
- John Steed: Heh heh. I suppose I am. But you know, he only pays me four pound a week. Four pound! And I'm working every hour that God ever made.
- John Steed: What fellow?
- Vincent O'Brien: Oh, well, now sir, I promised Michael Joyce on my mother's grave I-I'd not say a word about this.
- John Steed: On your mother's grave?
- Vincent O'Brien: Yes!
- John Steed: How much will it take to break a promise?
- [holds up a paper bill]
- Vincent O'Brien: Oh, well, now, sir... seeing as, as how me mother isn't actually dead yet...
