• John Steed : [Steed is carefully inspecting Emma's box of chocolates as if it were a bomb]  Whatever you do, don't touch the wrapped ones.

  Emma Peel : Why not?

  John Steed : 'Cause I like them.

  [he unwraps one and eats it] 

• Emma Peel : What have we got, so far?

  John Steed : Two black roses, three corpses...

  Emma Peel : [shouting from off screen]  Four white feathers...

  John Steed : And a partridge in a pear tree.

• Emma Peel : A bunch of schizoid, paranoid, psychopaths.

  John Steed : And incidentally dangerous.

• Emma Peel : I'm Mrs. Emma Peel, from Willis and Ferguson's. Auctioneers, valuers, specialists in probate.

  Major Robertson : Oh yes, do come in. I was told to expect you.

  [they shake hands] 

  Major Robertson : Eh, forgive me, frankly, I was expecting a dusty old man leaning heavily on a gnarled stick.

  Emma Peel : I hope you're not disappointed?

  Major Robertson : On the contrary.
