It Takes a Thief (TV Series)

The Second Time Around (1969)

Robert Wagner: Alexander Mundy

Quotes 

• Alistair Mundy : Mr. Powers, I've learned one simple truth in life: You can't run away from things.

  Alexander Mundy : Father, you're sure you want to go through with this? I mean, we barely got out alive the last time.

  Alistair Mundy : Absolutely. The only way to beat Redman is head on.

  Wally Powers : You mean walk right into his own backyard?

  Alistair Mundy : The element of surprise is on our side.

  Wally Powers : Your timing is right. Redman is involved in a new deal with the Other Side. We don't know what it is, but we do know it involves the investment of a great deal of money through Redman. Now, if we could break the back of his scheme, we could throw such a crimp into the Other Side's bank account, that they would get rid of Redman and save us the trouble.

  Alistair Mundy : Good thinking, Wally.

• Alistair Mundy : The saddest moment in a man's life comes when he looks back and realizes that he missed something important that was there for the taking, and he wasted something that was his.

  Alexander Mundy : Father, I never heard you begrudge one moment of your life.

  Alistair Mundy : Well, it was never more obvious to me than it is right now.

  Alexander Mundy : Well, what is it that you could have possibly missed? A Grand Prix Cup in Le Mans? A pair of bull's ears in Barcelona? Certainly not the moonshot? You'd make a terrible astronaut.

  Alistair Mundy : [chuckling]  All the times we could have spent on fishing trips, just the two of us, getting to know each other maybe a little bit better.

  Alexander Mundy : What are you talking about? You were always the greatest.
