- Chief Smart: [the Chief has been demoted to agent and Max has been named chief] Just a moment. I don't think we should call you Chief from now on, that woudn't be proper. Eh, what was your old number?
- Chief: Q.
- Chief Smart: Q?
- Chief: Yes, I was an agent before they switched to numbers.
- Chief Smart: [Agent Q has shattered a mirror with the sound of his voice] That'll be 40 dollars for the mirror, not to mention the 7 years bad luck.
- [walks off]
- Agent Q: That started yesterday.
- Chief Smart: [on phone] Good work, Q. If that is the KAOS communications center, from this moment on you'll be facing torture and death.
- Agent Q: [on shoephone] And... loving it!
- # 99: [Agent Q has just performed 'Alouette'] Max, did you hear that?
- Maxwell Smart: Yes, he doesn't have a bad voice but he's lousy with lyrics.
- # 99: No, it's the Control singing code. 'Curds and whey' means 'KAOS agent', 'cigarette' means 'impostor' and 'Wenceslas' means 'get away'.
- Maxwell Smart: Check, 99. You took the words right out of my mouth.
- Maxwell Smart: [talking on ice-cream phone] There's no time to wait, 99. I wanna catch them red-handed. Besides, my phone is melting.
