- Tara King: Merlin worked for us once, didn't he?
- John Steed: Us, them, they, whoever pays the highest price.
- Tara King: A double agent.
- John Steed: Quadruple would be nearer the mark. He's the artiste superieur of the double double double... double cross.
- John Steed: Harold Thomas Cartney. Cartney... Now that seems to ring a bell.
- Jimmy Merlin: Yes, an alarm bell. People are shooting at people 'round here!
- Major Parsons: Do you want them alive for questioning, sir?
- Brigadier Hansing: I most certainly do not. Shoot them. After a proper firing party has been convened.
- Major Parsons: Yes, sir.
- John Steed: We'll sneak back throug the side roads.
- Jimmy Merlin: Sneak back! Give me three reasons why?
- John Steed: Tara's still there and I want to find out what's going on.
- Jimmy Merlin: I said three.
- John Steed: I'm extremely stubborn.
- Jimmy Merlin: Well I'll give you three: I don't want to be a hero, they're not paying me and whatevers going on, I'm not curious about it.
- Jimmy Merlin: Oh Steed, let me of the hook. Undo these things and let me take my chance alone.
- John Steed: I wouldn't hear of it.
- Jimmy Merlin: I'm too young to die!
- John Steed: You're over 21.
- Jimmy Merlin: If I were 80 I'd still feel the same.
- Yates: Well it's still incredible that you don't know, the whole world knows.
- John Steed: Well I hate the whole world having us at an disadvantage.
- Jimmy Merlin: [Steed releases Merlin from the handcuffs that bind them] I'm touched. I'm really touched by your concern.
- John Steed: I don't want to find myself dragging around a dead man.
- John Steed: You gave me your word.
- Jimmy Merlin: Well that was before I knew you were intend on murder. Murdering me!
