Quotes

Mike Gambit : Purdey! Are you ok?

Purdey : Bit bruised, that's all.

Mike Gambit : I'm renowned for my healing hands.

Purdey : [referring to Brandon's dead body] It's a bit late for that, Gambit.
Purdey : [Gambit is lying on the floor reading 'The Tale of the Big Y'] He's read that chapter twice already.

John Steed : 'Bessie's mating habits'.

Purdey : Very badly written.

John Steed : And anatomically impossible.

Mike Gambit : Oh, I don't know. Certainly works you up - to a good appetite.

[Steed grins]

Mike Gambit : [gets up] Time for dinner, isn't, it, Purdey? Steed?

[puts book down on table]

John Steed : [picks up the book] The answer's in the book. And my taste buds won't be rejuvenated until I've found it.
Purdey : [about Steed] He needs a phrenologist like he needs a hole in the head.
