- Mark Charter: Morning.
- John Steed: We thought you were dead.
- Mark Charter: I know. It's upsetting, isn't it?
- John Steed: [Steed arrives home to find Cathy lying on the floor, reading a book] Ah, you got my message.
- Catherine Gale: Obviously.
- John Steed: I've been doing the shopping.
- Catherine Gale: Obviously. I take it it's about Andrew Sharp?
- John Steed: Obviously, I've been working all night.
- Catherine Gale: Why can't you go?
- John Steed: Well, they may be suspicious. They know my face from a... little bloodbath on the border about four years ago.
- Helen Rayner: That mission was a complete failure, wasn't it?
- Mark Charter: It wasn't a roaring success, It cost me five years in prison.
- Helen Rayner: It cost Stephen his life.
- Catherine Gale: You're a very vindictive woman, Mrs. Rayner.
- Helen Rayner: Hm. I thought you said you understood my feelings.
- Catherine Gale: For the loss of a husband, yes, but not for murder, or revenge.
- Helen Rayner: You don't know what it's like to be made a widow.
- Catherine Gale: Yes I do.
