- Tara King: [calling from phonebooth] This is very unimporant.
- Sir Joseph Tarlton: [on other line in his office] Well, don't bother me now then, I'm rather busy.
- Tara King: I don't want to warn you!
- Sir Joseph Tarlton: I beg your pardon?
- Tara King: Whatever you do: don't be careful.
- Tara King: Lie drug?
- Sykes: A little invention of my own. It neutrolises the faculty that distinguishes the true from the false. And, as you may already have guessed...
- Tara King: It's not in the milk?
- Sykes: That's right, It's in the milk. Simple, but effective, don't you think?
- Tara King: No.
- Sykes: A distilation designed to eliminate the George Washington syndrome.
- Tara King: I don't see.
- Sykes: I thought you would.
- Sykes: Sloman?
- Sloman: Yes.
- Sykes: Any sign of Steed?
- Sloman: Yes, he's over there.
- Lord Edgefield: What do you mean, over there? I'm over there!
- Sloman: No you're not, I am.
- Sykes: Sloman?
- Sloman: What?
- Sykes: You're not lying.
- Sloman: Nor are you.
- Lord Edgefield: Steed... he didn't doctor our drinks.
- Sloman: I can see him, can't you?
- Sykes: Yes. he must be by the butter machine.
- Lord Edgefield: Yes, I haven't looked there. He mustn't be by the milk vat.
- Sykes: Yes, I'm not over there, now.
- Sloman: Well, where isn't he?
- John Steed: [shouting] I'm not right behind you!
- Mother: I'm surrounded by incompetence.
- John Steed: In general or in particular?
- Mother: Both. That's why I have to involve you in a case that a child of two could have sown up in half an hour.
- Dr. Grant: Mr. Steed, this machine is infallible. It's never made a mistake.
- John Steed: Well, there's always a first time. It is human.
