Quotes 

• Napoleon Solo : There's a flight from Middleton to Washington, DC, leaving tonight at 11:15. I want you to take that flight - with me.

  Elaine May Bender Donaldson : Oh, I have to do my hair. My husband and I are going out this evening. Oh, this room is a mess! I - what the devil is doing a proposition as that?

  Napoleon Solo : Your maiden name was Bender. In 1949, you were a Freshman at Ruttenberg College and you were, I believe the expression is, going steady with a boy named Andrew Vulcan. Remember?

  Elaine May Bender Donaldson : Andy! Of course!

• Elaine May Bender Donaldson : Who's WASP?

  Napoleon Solo : We don't know. WASP might be a man or a woman or a committee that heads a secret international organization, a very powerful and a very wealthy. WASP has no allegiance to any country, nor to any ideal. It will embark upon any undertaking it may decide is in it's own interests. And where WASP succeeds, many, many people pay a terrible price.

  Elaine May Bender Donaldson : And you? What do you do?

  Napoleon Solo : I'm an agent for an organization designated as the U-N-C-L-E.

• Elaine May Bender Donaldson : Your group wants to stop this - this WASP.

  Napoleon Solo : Along with others. Let's say that U.N.C.L.E. is set up for the protection of many people all over world.

  Elaine May Bender Donaldson : Oh. Well, what's all that got to do with me? I mean, I'm just a housewife with two children - and a husband, don't forget him.

• Napoleon Solo : As of now, you are Elaine VanEvery of Northridge, Oklahoma.

  Elaine May Bender Donaldson : Well, what's wrong with being just me?

  Napoleon Solo : Well, because it would help if you're a little more important - than you.

• Elaine May Bender Donaldson : Look, I don't mind you climbing into my brain; but, will you please get out of my bedroom.

• Elaine May Bender Donaldson : I bet she's fat! Adults overeat in this country.

• Elaine May Bender Donaldson : I forgot!

  Napoleon Solo : Well, you mustn't forget. I've told you about the organization we're dealing with. They kill people the way people kill flies. A careless flick of the wrist, a reflex action. Now, I'll protect in every way possible; but, in the end, your safety depends on you. So, don't forget who you are or what you are.

• Elaine May Bender Donaldson : Have you found whatever it was you always wanted?

  Andrew Vulcan : Yes, but, now that I've seen you again - I remember wanting even more.

• Elaine May Bender Donaldson : What's the matter?

  Andrew Vulcan : Oh, nothing, just I see some party crashers. It wouldn't be a Washington party without them.
