  Emma Peel : Blonde, brunette or redhead?

  John Steed : Shiny pink. Rear Admiral Keavers. Bald as a baby's elbow.

  John Steed : So have I...

  Emma Peel : Hmm?

  John Steed : I mean, I have too.

• Emma Peel : I warn you, I'm here collecting for Christmas charity and I intend to separate you from at least fifty guineas.

  [sighs] 

  John Steed : just an octave or two...

• John Steed : It was Teasel's idea.

  Emma Peel : Teasel?

  John Steed : Oh, the War Office won't like that.

• John Steed : Secrets have been getting into the wrong hands.

  Emma Peel : And you think he may be responsible?

  John Steed : I'm certain he's responsible, because the secrets that have been leaking out have only been entrusted to two people, him and me. I know it isn't me.

• John Steed : Give me a hand, will you?

  Emma Peel : Hm, I love opening other people's cards.
