Episode Quotes

Hong Kong Harry: That's all I know, Steed, I promise. I, I swear to you on my mother's grave.
John Steed: Harry, you couldn't even find your mother's grave. You sold it for development years ago.

Turner: You are very beautiful, yet in my eyes quite worthless in comparisson to her. [touches a golden statue]
Purdey: I bet she can't cook an omelette, French style. With vinerbe.

Sing: Thank you again, Mr. Steed. May you have the blessing of many sons.
John Steed: Well due to the fact that I'm not married, many sons might prove rather an embarrassment. Of course you were prepared to become personally involved in the event?
