• John Steed : Are you sure this is just lemonade, Purdey?

  Purdey : Well it looked a bit sad so I added a dash of vodka to cheer it up.

  Mike Gambit : Oh well, in that case.

  [takes a sip. It makes his voice horse for a few moments] 

  Mike Gambit : Not bad. You've invented a new drink. Vodka and fizzy lemonade.

  Purdey : And bitters.

  John Steed : To cheer up the vodka.

  John Steed : No, to cheer up the gin.

  Mike Gambit : Persuade aid?

  Purdey : Sounds a bit medical.

  John Steed : A purdka!

  Mike Gambit : Right, yes. Have a purdka.

• John Steed : Now Purdey, the only thing that can't be replaced is the love and life of an old friend. And if the Chinese didn't say that, they damn well ought to have done.

• John Steed : I have a motto about women: always leave them laughing.

• John Steed : [to Purdey]  You check the files, I'll check my memories.

• Purdey : And you never told him you knew?

  John Steed : He desperately needed to win. How could I tell him? He was my friend.
