Quotes 

• Chief : [pushes button on intercom]  What is it, Larabee?

  Larabee : [on other line]  How did you know it was me, Chief?

  Chief : Never mind that, Larabee, what are you buzzing me for?

  Larabee : The CIA and FBI just called. They want you to tune in on TV channel 51.

  Chief : [breaks off connection]  Channel 51, that's the educational spy channel.

• Maxwell Smart : Well, I guess Jarvis Pym will get his fifty million dollars.

  Chief : But that's blackmail, Max, you know what happens when you pay off a blackmailer?

  Maxwell Smart : He gives you a receipt?

  Chief : No, he comes back the next day and asks for more money. Besides, we have no guarantee that if we pay the fifty million, Pym will destroy the drug.

  Maxwell Smart : Yes we do, if he gives us a receipt.

• Chief : Just don't get caught. Capture would mean certain death.

  Maxwell Smart : Suicide mission, huh chief? Well, you've picked the right man.

  Chief : I hope so.

  Maxwell Smart : You hope what, that you picked the right man or that it's a suicide mission?
