Quotes 

• Emma Peel : [calling Steed on the phone]  John darling? It's Emma.

  John Steed : Hm? Oh, eh, Mrs, eh...

  Emma Peel : Don't be silly darling. Your wife. How is my litte Johnsy-Wonsy?

  John Steed : Johnsy-Wonsy's fine, but you sound as though you've been soaking up just a tiny bit too much grapejuice.

  Emma Peel : You haven't been out all day? You really should, darling. Drive out. Take the children with you.

  John Steed : Children? You're in trouble aren't you?

  Emma Peel : That's right.

  John Steed : Is there somebody listening?

  Emma Peel : Yes, and I've had an absolutely tortuous day.

• John Steed : I gather you've known each other for a long time?

  Emma Peel : Since I was seven.

  Major Paul Croft : Six. She was a leggy little horror with pigtails.

  John Steed : I can't believe it.

  Major Paul Croft : Oh, it's true. We lived next door to each other. I often used to climb over the wall...

  John Steed : No, no, I mean the champagne. I specifically asked my vendor for a '26. He sent me a '27!

  Emma Peel : What's a digit between friends?

• Dr. J. F. Haymes : This is ridiculous. I've known the people of this village more than half my life.

  Emma Peel : Since you were six years old? That's how long I've known Paul Croft.
