• Emma Peel : What happened to the shining armor?

  John Steed : It's still at the laundry.

• Emma Peel : An old uncle of mine died, some while back, left me his house. I have to go and look at it.

  John Steed : Oh, how upsetting.

  Emma Peel : Not really, I never knew him.

  John Steed : No, that you have to dash. I've got my hands full and I could do with a cup o' coffee.

• Emma Peel : [a man dressed like a scout has stopped Mrs. Peel's car on the road]  I might have killed you.

  Frederick Withers : The speed you were going?

  [shakes his head] 

  Frederick Withers : The stopping distance to this car is 147 feet, allowing for average reflexes. I positioned myself 150 feet away.

  Emma Peel : Very mathematical of you.

  Frederick Withers : I am a very mathematical person.

  Emma Peel : You're also very stupid. Supposing I hadn't seen you?

  Frederick Withers : In that case, my death would have been entirely your fault.
