Rod Taylor: Mr. Lavender

Quotes 

• Mr. Lavender : According to one of our moles, Marlos plans to exchange the code frequencies in Amsterdam for a million dollars' worth of diamonds. That'll be in less than ninety-six hours.

  Danny Doyle : If he does, the East Germans can jam the frequencies, leaving NATO defenseless, right?

  Mr. Lavender : Now, how did you figure that out?

  Casey Collins : Oh, you'll be surprised by what they've been teaching us at the NIA Academy.

• Mr. Lavender : Now, according to our sources, the exchange is going to take place in the office of this man. He's a diamond dealer called Stan Borger, the man on the left.

  Al Kargur : I bought from this man. He is a gonif - a thief - if there ever was one.

  Mr. Lavender : He's also the paymaster for the entire East German intelligence sector. He in turn answers to this fellow, Kurt Steiner, section chief of East German Intelligence. Now, our job is to recover the codes and put him out of business.

  Mrs. Woodman : Isn't that a lot to expect from a bunch of amateurs?

  Mr. Lavender : Well, we have no choice because our regular agents have been compromised.

  Tim : It still sounds dangerous, Mr. Lavender.

  Mr. Lavender : It can be dangerous, but none of you will be exposed to unnecessary risks. Just remember, each of you has skills vital to this operation, but your safety depends on working as a team. Okay? Thanks again, and welcome to Operation: Masquerade.

• Mr. Lavender : Nice driving! Burt Reynolds couldn't have done it better.
