a new great line - typical Steed.

Never, Never Say Die
Doctor: "He'd been attacked."
Steed: "By a banana?"

So funny, isn't it?

Indeed a very fun one.

In The Superlative Seven, Steed's reply to the Bullfighters statement 'because of me five hundres bulls lie dead"

Steed: That's a lot of... that's a very impressive record.

Had me and my dearly beloved in stiches

Well, for all the Germans in this forum:
In Something Nasty in the Nursery the tag scene with this crystal ball was also very funny, but in German it is also funny translated.

Steed and his dirty imaginations - perfect translated for SEDDI-fans!

Something Nasty in the Nursery
Emma: "You wish to know all."
-Steed nods.
Emma: "Even if it be bad. Even it be sorrow."
Steed: "I'm braced for the worst."
...
Steed: "Let me look... I see..."
Emma: "Well."
Steed: "Aha!"
Emma: "What?"
-Steed pipes and smile.

And in German:
---> I tried to translate it literally

Steed: "Dann werde ich mal sehen. Ich sehe sie!"
(Steed: "Then let me see... I see you!")

Emma: "Und wie?"
(Emma: "And how?")

Steed: "Aha..."
(Steed: "Aha!... [he enunciate it a bit stretched and amused, just like - ahaaaa....]")

Emma: "Was?"
(Emma: "What?! [mistrustful and stunned]")
-and Steed smiles and pipe.

It's also amusing I think so.

Sincerely yours,

Sinus1994

Steed: (after car crash at the beginning of The Hour that Never Was) "Must have driven along this road a hundred times during the War."
Emma: If you know it so well - remarkable you couldn't stay on it."

Same episode:
Emma: "I can't hear any plane."
Steed: "It takes some coaxing to get it started - so will you when you're that age."

Ah, I have found another nice scene from "The Winged Avenger":
Steed: "Boots?"
Emma: "Boots. For climbing up walls."
Steed: "Boots!"

Sincerely yours,

That's a good episode 'The Winged Avenger'

Found another one in "Mission Highly Impropable":
(final-scene, as they discussed, what they could reduce).

Steed: "Elephants."
Emma: "Bermuda shorts."
Steed eyballing Emma...
Steed (smiling): "Miniskirts!"

Sincerely yours,

Darren wrote:It mostly the delivery of the lines as much as the lines themselves but there's an exchange in Legacy of Death between Steed and Sidney Street. Street is trying to trick Steed about the knife by stringing together a sob story about his youth and being given the knife by his favourite grandmother or something. He says about picking up the knife, his blonde locks of hair streaming in the wind and.. Steed completes the sentence totally seriously and deadpan "He stabs her". The build is brilliant but Macnee delivers the punchline in a way that never fails to crack me up.

I agree - one of my favourite moments in the entire series! Steed's wicked sense of humour.

I've been trying to find some interesting Emma quotes for my website, but not having a lot of luck. Any suggestions?
