- Maria: [shouting] Knees forward! Keep together. Lean into the wind, into it!
- Simon Templar: [narrating] I can't think of a more pleasant way to spend the day. Her name is Maria Venetti and we are getting on splendidly.
- Maria: Now again please!
- Simon Templar: [narrating] Maria is one of the instructors at Cortina, busy lady. So naturally one has to make her feel wanted.
- Maria: You really must learn to keep your knees and ankles together, that's what parellel skiing is all about.
- Simon Templar: [narrating] It helps to keep a little off balance, that way she feels in control of the situation. Women need that. Something to do with their maternal instincts.
- Maria: No, not that way, straighten up, Look out!
- [the Saint groans and falls]
- Simon Templar: [to Diana] Now Venetti was right about one thing: you must be the best looking crook in the business.
- Simon Templar: Girls who drink daquiri should never walk home alone.
- Karen: Congratulations, you've just qualified.
- Simon Templar: I feel warm all over.
- Karen: Hm. I'm recruiting for a party. Only interesting men with interesting names can come.
- Diana Lang: I've heard all about you, Templar.
- Simon Templar: Now who from? My friends or my enemies?
- Diana Lang: Hm, you don't have any friends. You're a one-man band and nobody ever seems to know which side of the law you are on.
- Simon Templar: It is confusing, isn't it?
- Simon Templar: Why the stretchers?
- Diana Lang: Can you think of a better way of carrying something over snow, fast?
- Simon Templar: Two hundred kilos of something?
- Diana Lang: Hm-hm. What we have in mind is heavy but compact.
- Simon Templar: I suppose I can rule out lead.
- Simon Templar: Now nobody plays with avalanches, they have a nasty habit of falling on people.
- Corvis: So bring a shovel.
- Simon Templar: I'm afraid, Miss Lang, it looks to me as though you've broken something. Apart from the law, that is.
