Quotes 

• John Steed : Look, I thought you'd grasp at the chance. Chance of working cheek by jowl with Martin.

  Catherine Gale : My cheek is going nowhere near his jowl.

  John Steed : Now Mrs. Jowl, look - Mrs Gale, look, this is a job of work, I need you, you can't let me down now.

• John Steed : Will you have a drink?

  Kim Lawrence : Not before sundown. Of course, you could draw the curtains...

• John Steed : Now as soon as the lights go out, you make a dash for the door. Keep going whatever happens, and don't stop for me.

  Kim Lawrence : I won't even slow down to a trot for you.

• John Steed : Alas, poor George.

  Catherine Gale : You knew him?

  John Steed : I knew him well, Georgie Vinkel, he's one of their top agents. It's funny, he's the second one they've bumped off this month.

• John Steed : Oh, why do you want to kill me? I always thought we were the best of enemies.

  Martin : You know why. Because of Vinkel...

  John Steed : Oh, good old Georgie Vinkel. Yes, I was reading about him in the paper, poor fellow.

  [thinks for a moment] 

  John Steed : You don't think that I did it?

  Martin : Who else?

  John Steed : But that's impossible, he was killed with a foil, my weapon is a sabre.

• Martin : So you didn't kill Vinkel.

  John Steed : No, I haven't killed anyone all week.

• John Steed : Where did you learn your job?

  Kim Lawrence : School of hard knocks.

• John Steed : [to Kim Lawrence]  Drawing on your bumper experience of bodies, do you think you could help me over Martin's body?
