"HOUSE OF CARDS"
STEED: Remember; when you're screaming, you're screaming for
England.
STEED: Make jokes, not war.
OLGA: I thought it was make love not war.
STEED: What a delightful idea.
GAMBIT: Did she use her most potent weapon?
SPENCER: Eh?
GAMBIT: Her big helpless smile.
PURDEY ARRIVES HOME AND STRIPS TO HER UNDERWEAR NOT REALISING THAT
THERE IS A MAN WITH A GUN SITTING IN ONE OF HER CHAIRS. AS SHE RUSHES TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT, GAMBIT
SUDDENLY GRABS HOLD OF HER AND SHE PULLS HIM TO THE FLOOR ON TOP OF HER...
(BOTH WHISPERING)
PURDEY: There's a man
GAMBIT: I know
PURDEY: With a gun
GAMBIT: Yes
PURDEY: He's in that chair.
GAMBIT: Unconscious.
PURDEY: (pause) What?!
GAMBIT: I got here just as he was breaking in and clobbered him
for you. He'll be out cold for a couple
of hours I'd say.
PURDEY: (angry) Well why didn't you tell me before? Why did you wait until I'd got...(she gestures at her near naked state)
GAMBIT: Silly question.
PURDEY: It seems that the golden age of chivalry is quite dead.
GAMBIT: Not quite. I mean,
no more white chargers or dragons but, I did save your life.
GAMBIT: (to Purdey who is holding a
poison capsule) Thinking of committing Hari
Kari? Well don't. If you're thinking of throwing yourself
away...throw yourself my way.
GAMBIT: Purdey, you are dying, you are poisoned.
PURDEY: That's the point, I'm not! Well, do I look as if I'm dying? Well...how do I look?
GAMBIT: beautiful, wonderful, fantastic...
PURDEY: (smiling shyly) Really?
GAMBIT: Honest. I don't
know when I've seen you looking so good.
GAMBIT: Knock out
PURDEY: He hit me!
PURDEY: Suppose he'd tried for a head shot?
STEED: Perov? (shakes
head) He's one of the old school...mean and
nasty. Always aim for the body, then if
you miss, you maim, you know?
GAMBIT: John Steed...
PURDEY: You're beautiful!
STEED: I'm experienced.
