- John Steed: I never did tell you about my marriage, my one and only marriage. I married a job, I married a profession. I've been very faithful.
- Purdey: As thought someone had taken the teddy bear out of your bed.
- John Steed: I don't have a teddy bear in my bed.
- Mike Gambit: He keeps it in a safe deposit, along with his other valuables.
- Olga: And you're always making jokes.
- John Steed: Make jokes, not war.
- Olga: I thought it was 'make love, not war'.
- John Steed: What a delightful idea!
- Purdey: If the lovely Olga is going to be squeezed, I think I should be there too. Just in case you get...
- Purdey, Mike Gambit: Carried away.
- John Steed: [to Olga] I feel deeply ashamed at hitting a woman. But you were unlucky, you came along when I needed to hit something.
- John Steed: What are we whispering for?
- Roland: There.
- [indicates two roses tied together with a string]
- Roland: They're mating.
- John Steed: What, right out here in the open? Very permissive of them.
- Purdey: Didn't I tell you? My father's a bishop. He'll track it down in no time.
- [takes pictures from Steed, moves to exit]
- John Steed: Purdey?
- [she turns at the door]
- John Steed: You said that your father was shot as a spy ten years ago.
- Purdey: That's before he became a bishop.
- [opens door and leaves]
- Purdey: Purdey?
- [she sticks her head back into the room]
- Purdey: Before?
- Purdey: Before my father became a bishop. My mother remarried.
- Purdey: Well, it's like finding out Buckingham Palace has been leased for Chinese.
- John Steed: A mixed metaphor, but I get the point.
- Mike Gambit: [about Purdey] Did she use her most potent weapon?
- Spence: Eh?
- Mike Gambit: Her big helpless smile.
- Jo: [looking at three framed pictures displayed in Steeds' home] Who are these?
- John Steed: Oh, Just some fillies I've toyed with.
- Jo: Oh...
- [picks up picture of Cathy Gale]
- Jo: She's magnificent.
- John Steed: [pouring a drink] Yes, beautiful. We went through some tricky situations together. Faithful. Reliable.
- Jo: [puts down first picture, touches the second, Emma Peel] And this one?
- John Steed: Well, very spirited and very special. Fantastic creature. Had to take a whip to her, though, sometimes.
- Jo: [touches the third picture, Tara King] And the other one?
- John Steed: [walking slowly towards Jo] Excellent. Great action. But liked her oats too much. I sold her to an Arab prince. I think he eventually had to shoot her."
- Jo: Shoot her?
- John Steed: [grinning] Oh, I thought you meant...
- Jo: Oh!
