THE NEW AVENGERS
QUOTE PAGES

"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.
