- Hymie: Groppo is a nice name. I'm looking forward to meeting him.
- Maxwell Smart: Hymie, Groppo doesn't wanna make friends with you, he wants to destroy you. He hates you.
- Hymie: People hate. Robots love.
- Hymie: I'm lonesome.
- [sits down]
- Maxwell Smart: Lonesome?
- [grabs a chair to sit down next to Hymie]
- Maxwell Smart: Who are you lonesome for?
- Hymie: For my friends at the office.
- Maxwell Smart: What friends?
- Hymie: Shirley the intercom, Sid the coffee machine, Trudy the noiseless typewriter, Rex the elevator...
- Maxwell Smart: [nothing seems to stop Groppo] Got any other ideas, Harris?
- Dr. Harris: [walks over to Max to hand him a weapon] Here, try this.
- Maxwell Smart: A slingshot?
- Dr. Harris: It worked once for David.
- Maxwell Smart: I hope Groppo remembers the story.
- Maxwell Smart: I hate to say it, but Hymie is depreciated.
- Agent 42: But Hymie is unique.
- Maxwell Smart: According to the latest Control blue book, we can trade Hymie even for a 1956 Edsel.
- Hymie: I'm just fine.
- Maxwell Smart: You're not fine, you're sluggish. You're run down and out of tune. You go round all the time half charged. If you're not careful, terrible things could happen.
- Hymie: Like what?
- Maxwell Smart: Well, you could end up as a cab in South America.
- Maxwell Smart: I'll have to find a place to hide him. Wait a minute. I know just the place.
- Dr. Harris: Where?
- Maxwell Smart: A ghost town out on highway 81.
- Dr. Harris: But Max, that's a tourist trap. Hundreds of people go there every week.
- Maxwell Smart: Not that one, doctor, the one Control build right across the street from it.
- Dr. Harris: Control build a ghost town across the street from a ghost town?
- Maxwell Smart: Yes. In that way no one would be suspicious in case we needed one of our own.
