| Goofs | Templar speaks the cabby's phone number, then dials it. It's Columbus 5-1098; on a rotary dial phone, 0, 9 and 8 are all full or nearly full turns of the dial, but when he dials it, it's all small turns until the last digit. See more » |

Simon Templar, aka The Saint:
[flags down cab which brakes hard. Leans in]
I smell burning rubber. Sebastian Lipke, Taxi Driver: Best brakes in town, Boss, where to? Simon Templar, aka The Saint: [Gets in] 49th, near 8th. [reads taxi license on back of seat] Simon Templar, aka The Saint: Just forget about those lights, Sebastian. Sebastian Lipke, Taxi Driver: [looks back] Say, I know you! Simon Templar, aka The Saint: Why shouldn't you? My life's an open book. Sebastian Lipke, Taxi Driver: [looks back again] Why, you're the Saint! I seen your picture in tonight's paper! Simon Templar, aka The Saint: Terrible picture. Made me look like Tarzan. See more » |
