THE NEW AVENGERS

"THREE HANDED GAME"

NOTABLE SCENE'S: I think this episode is one of the best filmed of the series - the camera angles are great. I particularly like the shot of all three Avengers cars lined up one behind each other with a piece of modern art acting as the frame.

Other scene's to watch out for are:

Purdey putting on some clown make-up while waiting for Masguarde at the theatre.

Purdey catching Gambit posing nude for Helen McKay - lots of embarrassment for the poor lad there…especially when Steed turns up as well!

Steed pursuing and catching a F1 car in his custom Jag. He looks like he's just taking a Sunday drive and even indicates for the other driver to pull over before getting out of the Jag and raising his politely saying, "Good afternoon."

Anyway, onto the quotes:

GAMBIT AND PURDEY ARE STAKING OUT AN EMBASSY ALONG WITH A FELLOW AGENT WHO IS IN A VAN OPPOSITE THEM. HE WAVES AT PURDEY AND SHE WAVES BACK. SHE THEN PROCEEDS TO WIND GAMBIT UP…

GAMBIT: Purdey, we are supposed to be undercover.

PURDEY: Well he waved first.

GAMBIT: He is a first class fool.

PURDEY: First class? Hmm, you gave him top marks. Could be worse. He's a handsome fool though…and rugged and charming and very, very sexy…

GAMBIT: (angrily) Purdey! (checks himself) Purdey, we're supposed to be watching the Embassy.

PURDEY: I knew it! You're jealous.

GAMBIT: Jealous?!

PURDEY: Please try to control your emotions. And stop staring at me; we're supposed to be watching the Embassy.

 

GAMBIT: A tap dancer?

STEED: An expert in percussive turpsicorion art.

GAMBIT: That’s what I said.  Why would Juventa snatch an expert in percussive turpsicorion art?

STEED: A tap dancer?

 

GAMBIT: (talking about Juventa) He's a pro, you've got to admit that. Deadly, dangerous, ruthless, a master of the double play. (To Steed) You're not related in any way are you?

 

PURDEY: The way to a man's knee's is through his stomach.

GAMBIT: Purdey, it's the way to a man's heart.

PURDEY: Oh, and what have you got against knee's?

GAMBIT: Mine or yours?

 

AFTER KICKING A DOOR OFF IT'S HINGES

PURDEY: You do that awfully well.

GAMBIT: I get a lot of practice.
