Quotes 

• John Steed : How are you going to spend all this money?

  Glover : I'd hardly like to say.

  John Steed : Why not?

  Glover : You'll think less of me.

  John Steed : No, I won't.

  Glover : It's the power that excites me, Mr. Steed. I want to be ill-mannered and rude and uncouth. And order people about, especially women. I look forward to being excessively rude to an considerable number of handsome women!

• Emma Peel : How do you know?

  John Steed : I had a look at the memo pad beside your phone. I'm an insatiable reader.

• John Steed : [walking towards a large window]  I could've sworn that Big Ben moved. Well it must have been the Worcestershire sauce and the eh, tomato juice. Heh.

  Miss Pegram : It's us that's moving, Mr. Steed. The Litoff Organisation never stands still.

  John Steed : So I see, but could you remain motionless just for one moment, to have a little look at, eh, at these?

  [empties a small bag containing several diamonds onto a newspaper] 

• Miss Pegram : You don't know much about the Litoff Organisation, do you, Mr. Steed?

  John Steed : Nobody does! Now that's what's so intriguing.
