- Emma Peel: [bent over dead body] The position of the head. He's been hit from the front and yet there isn't a trace of bruising on the face.
- John Steed: Conclusion, honorable lady?
- Emma Peel: In-ku.
- John Steed: Ink who?
- Emma Peel: It's a karate blow. Delivered by an expert, it breaks the neck easier than a hangman's noose.
- John Steed: Many in this country, experts?
- Emma Peel: Very few. Barely a handful in the whole of Europe.
- Tusamo: You are acquainted with our recent development?
- John Steed: You've produced a new circuit element for the transistor. I'm here to negotiate the rights for the concession.
- Tusamo: This heralds a new age, Mr. Steed. Computers no bigger than a cigarette box, pocket television, and radios smaller than a wristwatch.
- Tusamo: We have saying, Mr. Steed: in darkness, ceiling is always higher.
- John Steed: Confucius?
- Tusamo: Tusamo.
- Gilbert: [about Dr. Armstrong] Given a choice between Lollobrigida and an electronic calculator, he would choose the equation every time.
- John Steed: If I'm not back by eleven-thirty, I've stayed for breakfast.
- Emma Peel: You don't eat breakfast.
- John Steed: [Emma is under attack from a Cybernaut] Mrs. Peel, throw me the pen! The pen, throw it me!
- [Emma does so; the Cybernaut turns to follow the pen]
- John Steed: It's a short wave device, works like a guided missile.
- Emma Peel: Well get rid of it then!
- John Steed: Don't worry, I will.
- [turns corner to find Armstrong and another Cybernaut coming at him]
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: That won't help you, Steed, this one has a brain of its own.
- John Steed: [solving crossword puzzle] 'It moves in the dark, it leaves no mark, it's as hard as steel.' Nine down. Now what would that be, Mrs Peel?
- Emma Peel: Cybernaut?
- Sensai: Please state your business, Mrs. Peel.
- Emma Peel: I am interested in Karate.
- Sensai: Interest is for the onlooker. From students we require dedication, nightly attendance for practice and demonstration. We never tolerate absentees.
- Emma Peel: I appreciate that.
- Sensai: Then appreciate too, Mrs. Peel, that Karate, unlike Judo, is not a sport. It is a science, an art, a discipline. The word Karate...
- Emma Peel: [interrupting] Means empy hand.
- Sensai: But the hands, though empty, can become more deadly than any weapon. It is the combination of force and a development of courage.
- John Steed: As Tusamo might have said, we have a proverb: he who talks too much, forgets his listener.
- Emma Peel: Son of Confucius?
- John Steed: Steed.
- Emma Peel: I must say, I can't wait to meet Oyama, 'the Tall Mountain'.
- John Steed: What's he got that I haven't got?
- Emma Peel: A hobby.
- John Steed: Archeology, philately, knitting?
- Emma Peel: Splitting doors.
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: That's the trouble with man. Such an impulsive creature. Cannot cope with crises. Today, one wrong decision, one simple error could bring complete destruction.
- John Steed: I suppose you have an answer, doctor.
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: There, Mr. Steed: The electronic brain. Oh, not this one, but I have the blueprint here
- [touches his temple]
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: , a small computer built with these new circuit elements, incapable of a wrong decision.
- John Steed: And what's the end product? The perfect politician?
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: Exactly. Government by automation.
- John Steed: Sounds like an electronic dictatorship.
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: It's the only solution.
- John Steed: I'd say that was up to the voters. They might disagree.
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: Once I get delivery from Harachi, an army of cybernauts is only a matter of time.
- [last lines]
- John Steed: [Emma offers Steed a pen after his pencil breaks] I don't hold with those newfangled things.
- Emma Peel: Oh!
- Sensai: [refusing Emma into the gym] ... It is difficult for a woman to compete in such company.
- Emma Peel: [smiling] It's that the idea of competition appeals to me.
- Sensai: Then I'd suggest perhaps... fencing would be more suitable to your purpose.
- Emma Peel: I think not, Mister...
- Sensai: Here I'm known as Sensai - the Knowledgeable One.
- [Claps hands once; a tall blonde in karate outfit appears by the gym's entrance]
- Sensai: Oyuka! Ms. Peel is leaving now.
- Emma Peel: [after glncing at the blonde, turns round to face Sensei again] What makes Oyuka the exception?
- Sensai: Oyuka, the Immovable One, she's a third dan of judo, a first dan of karate. There are few men who could pass her, if she would not want them to.
- Emma Peel: And if I could?
- Sensai: I shouldn't try it, Baka, the Foolish One. But if you can, you'll be most welcome.
- Sensai: [Watches as Emma places her handbag and gloves on the floor, and bows to him with Oyuka; the women exchange holds; Oyuka is in an arm-lock and tries to scratch Emma's right leg; he shouts] Oyuka!
- [Emma projects Oyuka to the floor]
- Sensai: You attacked her as a woman, but she has the skill of a man... A bad mistake, Oyuka.
- [Emma bows to the sensei again, collects her things, and exits]
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: Benson, you are employed to take orders, not give them. I may be confined to this chair, but I'm perfectly capable of dealing with Mr. Steed.
- John Steed: [seeing Benson for the first time, after being knocked out by a Cybernaut] Oh, is that another one? Looks almost human.
- Sensai: And now a demonstration of Tameshiwari by a student of whom I'm truly proud: Aoyama
- [the tall one]
- Sensai: , a fifth dan of judo, a fourth dan of karate. Aoyama is an example of what can be achieved with practice and dedication. I give you... Aoyama!
- [the karateka enters, and it is revealed that he is Jeffcott, owner of the toys factory company]
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: Correctly programmed, the machine could answer questions on finance, science, even military and political matters. It could supplant the human brain entirely.
- John Steed: Is this for publication?
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: I'm theorizing, of course. The problem is size, but with the development of new circuit elements, it could only be a matter...
- [buzzer interrupts]
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: Excuse me.
- Emma Peel: Harachi. They were in the news a few weeks ago. They've developed a new circuit element to replace the transistor. It could revolutionize the electronics industry.
- John Steed: Is this your idea of progress?
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: The ultimate in human achievements.
- John Steed: Human? A cybernetic police state? Push-button bobbies? Automated martinis? Remote-controlled olives? No, I think I'll stick to good old flesh and blood.
- John Steed: Will the machine supplant man. Or woman, for that matter.
- Emma Peel: And will it?
- John Steed: Not if I have anything to do with it.
- John Steed: Well, that kind of music wasn't composed by a computer.
- Dr. Clement Armstrong: It will be in time.
