"THE LAST OF THE CYBERNAUTS…?"

 

PURDEY: Cybernaut; steel robot.

GAMBIT: Man made.

PURDEY: Man shaped, radio controlled; a kind of walking missile capable of shattering doors and of riding roughshod over any kind of guard. Impervious to bullets and very, very deadly. Did I leave anything out?

GAMBIT: Only that you love me very much.

PURDEY: Besides that.

 

PURDEY: I didn't mention Mrs. Emma Peel.

GAMBIT: You never do.

 

PURDEY: Steed's worried.

GAMBIT: Furrows under the bowler.

 

STEED: I don't know if it helps, but I believe I'm distantly related to a clam.

 

AFTER BEING KNOCKED OUT BY A CYBERNAUT

STEED: What happened?

PURDEY: I'm very disappointed. 'What happened?' That's a terribly corny thing to say, Steed. You could've said, 'Where's the party?', that at least would've been different and fairly amusing. Or you could've muttered something unintelligible in Latin.

GAMBIT: On the other hand, he might want to know what happened.

 

PURDEY: You must stop being so gallant, Steed. We're liberated now.

 

AFTER RETRACTING GAMBIT'S BED AND CAUSING HIM TO ROLL ONTO THE FLOOR

GAMBIT: I suppose you think that's funny?

PURDEY: No, I don't really go in for slapstick and banana skins.

 

GAMBIT: Purdey, what the hell do you want?

PURDEY: You.

GAMBIT: Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?

 

PURDEY: I want you to accompany me.

GAMBIT: On the piano?

PURDEY: To J B Foster's place.

GAMBIT: And who…

PURDEY: …is J B Foster? (smiles) Mrs. Foster's little boy.

 

GAMBIT: OK, Purdey, wait outside.

PURDEY: I'm not going to leave this room because you'll lock the door

GAMBIT: Purdey…

PURDEY: And you will get back into bed and you will go to sleep.

GAMBIT: Purdey…

PURDEY: And I will go off and see J B Foster and do all the hard work.

GAMBIT: Purdey, I'm not wearing any pyjama's.

PURDEY: Oh…I'll wait outside.

 

PURDEY: You dented him, Mike, you actually dented him. Poor, clever little fist (kisses his injured hand)

GAMBIT: Ow!

PURDEY: How does it feel now?

GAMBIT: Worse since I entrusted it to you.

PURDEY: Well, I can promise you one thing; you certainly won't play the piano again which is a blessing for us music lovers.

 

STEED: Keep an eye on Purdey.

GAMBIT: Pleasure.

 

AFTER CATCHING GAMBIT CROUCHED AT HER FRONT DOOR AND LOOKING THROUGH THE KEYHOLE

PURDEY: Gambit!

GAMBIT: Oh…hello, Purdey.

PURDEY: Why are you lurking out there?

GAMBIT: I'm not lurking.

PURDEY: Well not now, but you were. Your whole attitude was one of pure and positive lurk!
