- Catherine Gale: [crosses arms] Did you get all the stuff I did sent you?
- John Steed: I did. Thank you.
- Catherine Gale: I was worried about Terry. He had a tattoo a couple days before he joined the circus, so he's probably a phony. Tattoos are like a passport around here.
- John Steed: How come you know so much about tattoos?
- Catherine Gale: I took it at school instead of needlework.
- Sica: I'd like to see your husband.
- Rickie Bennett: Hm. So would I!
- Sica: Carlo is not here?
- Rickie Bennett: No. He went to London last week. He must have missed his connection back.
- Sica: May I sit down?
- Rickie Bennett: Oh yes, by all means, but don't expect him to walk in. I've been doing that for three days...
- Rickie Bennett: Look, you've got no right to push me around!
- Gutman: Don't talk to me about right. I own this trailer and everything in it. No, the bird cages are yours. You drink out of my cups, you eat of my plates, remember that! And if Carlo doesn't get back here before Saturday, you'll be in the street, understand?
- John Steed: [losing his temper] May I remind you, Mrs. Gale, we are dealing with the maffia and not the boyscouts!
- Catherine Gale: You offer him a satisfactory alternative to the maffia, and he'll help you.
- John Steed: [scoffs] You're an idealist.
- Catherine Gale: And you're a cynic.
