• Carruthers : [on stapler phone]  Carruthers here. I am leaving the stapler location. I'll be at my piano number in half an hour. If you need me earlier, call me on my jock strap. But please, just ring once...

• Carruthers : We've landed totally undetected, thanks to the my genius in creating the noiseless shush-copter.

• Maxwell Smart : A stapler telephone? That's fantastic, Carruthers. Can it also be used as a stapler?

  Carruthers : No.

  Maxwell Smart : Oh, well, you'd better work on that.

• Maxwell Smart : This is the latest in counter-attack furniture. The D-1 Turbocharger Desk Mobile. This desk can go from 0 to 60 in five seconds, and can cruise at 80 miles an hour. It was built at a cost of $12 million. Get on.

  [Max sits down at the desk] 

  Maxwell Smart : See that key in the drawer? Turn it.

  Maxwell Smart : Of course! The ol' dashboard-in-the-drawer trick!

  Carruthers : To activate the armament, you press the knob marked "air conditioning."

  Maxwell Smart : How do you turn on the air conditioning?

  Carruthers : There is no air conditioning.

  Maxwell Smart : There is no air conditioning? Are you kidding? $12 million for this thing, and no air conditioning? You better work on that, Carruthers. How much mileage do you get on this thing?

  Carruthers : 35 on the highway, 12 in the living room.

  Maxwell Smart : Well, that's not bad for an American make.

  Carruthers : That's because it doesn't run on gasoline. It runs on ink.

  Carruthers : This thing runs on ink? That's fantastic, Carruthers! Why, do you realize that could be the answer to the fuel shortage?

  Maxwell Smart : I'm afraid not. Special kind of ink. Comes from Saudi Arabia.
