- Maxwell Smart: You're not angry, are you Chief?
- Chief: How would you feel if some simpleton used a class A security procedure merely in order too borrow twenty dollars. I don't believe it!
- Maxwell Smart: Would you believe thirty dollars?
- Maxwell Smart: I don't think we should talk right here in the open, Chief, I think we should use the cone of silence.
- Chief: Oh Max, every time we use the cone of silence something terrible happens. Can't you just write it to me on a piece of paper?
- Maxwell Smart: People can read a piece of paper, Chief.
- Chief: I'll burn it afterwards.
- Maxwell Smart: Ashes can be reassembled.
- Chief: I'll eat the note!
- Maxwell Smart: They could operate on you and get it back.
- Chief: All right, Max. The Cone of Silence.
- Chief: [under the cone of silence] What was it you wanted to know, Max?
- Maxwell Smart: Chief, could you let me have twenty dollars until pay day?
- Chief: So you got me in this thing just to ask me money? Are you out of your mind? Are you serious? Are you completely insane?
- Maxwell Smart: One question at a time, Chief.
- Chief: This mission is so top secret, that for the next seventy two hours you'll be entirely on your own. You won't even be able to contact Control. You won't know me, and I won't know you. Good luck, Max
- [holds out his hand]
- Maxwell Smart: I beg your pardon, I don't believe we've met.
