A scene in The Fear Merchants, Steed and Emma are walking out of the hospital and he's telling her that he will pose as luxury travel agent and that he wants his competition eliminated...being Emma. Then it goes like this...

Emma: and where do we operate?
Steed: from your flat
Emma: Hmmm, good idea but if you'd like my opinion...
Steed: I'd love to hear it but we must observe priorities.

Me thinks Emma was feeling a little randy then.

STEED: Don't misunderstand me! It's just that I need a wife for a couple of weeks.
CATHY: So long?
Death on the Rocks

CATHY: You were playing with people's lives, Jason!
Don't Look Behind You

EMMA: He practically thrust it upon me!
STEED: Couldn't you have stepped aside, or at least thrust back?
Return of the Cybernauts

TARA: Yes, you keep an eye on that one. I'll go handle the other three.

Here are a few of mine from The Town Of No Return

"The milk ... is in the kitchen"
"I could take it black ...?"

"That was very very dirty"


Welcome to the jolly old Gremlin. Well what'll it be? A jar or two of the jolly old splosh, wot?

... and the quote of the series, in my opinion.
"I asked the chief predator where to find you and he said, 'Our Mrs. Peel is in ladies' underwear'. I rattled up the stairs three at a time".
"Merry quips department on the fifth floor, sir!"
- Death At Bargain Prices
My gosh, there are sooo many sarcastic lines that I just love! The innuendos are great as well. I'll have to dig deep to pull up a favorite. :? :) 8)

Steed and Kim Lawrence break into a shop.

"We could go to Holloway!" Kim
"Do you think it could be arranged?" Steed - The Charmers

(Holloway being, course, the largest women-only prison in Europe)

Dandy,

That is sublime! I would have never caught the reference. What a great throw away line.

Two great lines in Death Of A Great Dane:-

Cathy: (describing the birds she has recently photographed):-
They don't stand still and pose for you

Steed: (thinking of an alternative kind of bird)They do for me!


.....and also when Cathy and Steed are trapped in the top floor flat and are knotting sheets together to try and escape down the window:-

Steed: (to Cathy) I wish your hair was a little longer

One of the most naughty lines is from Too Many Christmas Trees.

Emma: The invitation came from a mutual friend, Jeremy Wade
Steed: The one who deals in old books, is he still after your first edition?
