Tom Baker: Anatole Blaylock

Quotes 

• Anatole Blaylock : [checking is watch]  They must be well into it by now.

  Mildred Krebs : What gives you the right to make another man steal for you?

  Anatole Blaylock : What gives me the right? That man destroyed my life. Do you know what it's like to have your name dragged through the mud, hmm? To have your colleagues shun you? To be the butt of newspaper reporters and their stupid little columns, eh? I was a good investigator. I deserved better.

  Mildred Krebs : But if...

  Anatole Blaylock : [on phone]  Shh! Yes, Sergeant? This is Inspector Anatole Blaylock of Interpol. It might interest you to know I've uncovered a plot to steal the Jennings diamond tonight. That's right. The Gem Exchange building. Yes, I thought your department might want to share credit. I'll meet you there.

  Mildred Krebs : I thought you wanted Kevin to steal for you.

  Anatole Blaylock : Do you think money can pay for the humiliation I've suffered? No. Tonight, when I announce to the world that Blaylock the bumbler, the scapegoat, has unmasked the greatest thief of our time, caught him in the act as it were, I shall have what I've lived for these past five years: my vindication.

  Mildred Krebs : You'll never make it stick, Blaylock!

  Anatole Blaylock : Oh no?

  Mildred Krebs : Oh no! Kevin will tell the police you forced him into it!

  Anatole Blaylock : Ah. But he'll need you to back him up.

  Mildred Krebs : And you don't think I'll talk? I will sing a song that will put you aw-... On the other hand, what business is it of mine? I-I mean, I-I-I hardly know the guy! Nah, I wouldn't talk. No skin off my nose.

  Anatole Blaylock : No. Get your coat.

  [knock at door] 

  Rose : Millie, it's us!

  Anatole Blaylock : Don't answer it!

  Rose : I have to! That's my bowling team!

  Anatole Blaylock : Get rid of them.

  Mildred Krebs : But it...

  Anatole Blaylock : Unless you want your friends to join you.

• Anatole Blaylock : You are going to make a little call for me, Miss Krebs.

• Anatole Blaylock : [walking up]  Congratulations, officer. You've just arrested a world-famous thief.

  Diamond Cop #1 : Who are you?

  Remington Steele : [to Blaylock]  What have you done with Mildred?

  Diamond Cop #3 : [to Remington Steele]  Against the wall!

  Anatole Blaylock : If you check that man's pockets I'm certain you'll find the Jennings diamond.

  Diamond Cop #3 : [searches]  They're clean, Lieutenant!

  Diamond Cop #1 : [to Blaylock]  Well what's this all about?

  Anatole Blaylock : He has the diamond! He *must*!

  Diamond Cop #1 : This is the man you want, Lieutenant; he killed an Interpol agent! Will you listen to me?

  Mildred Krebs : [runs up, wet, and indicates Blaylock]  Arrest this man!

  [Blaylock growls, shoves her and Diamond Cop #1, and runs away] 

  Kevin Masters : [takes his dog Dolittle and sets him loose]  Tango!

  [Dolittle chases after Blaylock and bites his trouser leg, tripping him. As the rest give chase, he pulls a revolver, but Steele kicks it out of his hand as he runs past] 

  Diamond Cop #1 : OK, take him away!

  [Diamond Cops #2 and #3 do so] 

  Remington Steele : Well! I guess that dog is good for something after all.

  Laura Holt : [looks at Steele's feet, smiles]  Uh, Mr. Steele?

  [She points down. He looks down and it's implied the dog is urinating on him again. She laughs as he pulls a stoic face]
