Quotes 

• Emma Peel : Do you think they're having a purge?

  John Steed : Well if they are, I wish they'd, eh...

  Emma Peel : Do it in their own country? You said that.

  John Steed : It's unethical, just not cricket.

  Emma Peel : You said that too.

  John Steed : We need a drink.

  Emma Peel : That, you haven't said.

• Ivan : I'm going to kill you.

  John Steed : Why on earth should you want to do that? I thought we were the best of enemies.

• John Steed : How I envy you working cheek by jowl with Ivan.

  Emma Peel : I can assure you my cheek's going to be nowhere near his jowl.

• John Steed : Mrs. Peel will vouch for it, I haven't killed anyone all week.

• Nutski : [Ivan has led Steed into Nutski's secret hideout]  Steed! Steed, my dear fellow!

  John Steed : Hello Nutski.

  Nutski : What a delightful surprise. What a pleasure to see you again.

  [to Ivan] 

  Nutski : I told you to kill him!

• Emma Peel : I've handed in my notice.

  John Steed : Oh?

  Emma Peel : The other side was cheating. Nutski had no intention of seriously honouring the truce.

  John Steed : Well, I'm not surprised, I never thought he would.
