"DEAD MEN ARE DANGEROUS"
STEED: Where on
earth did you learn to bowl?
GAMBIT: At home.
STEED: Oh, that
explains your weird delivery…your back garden very small?
GAMBIT: Non
existent, it was a yard.
STEED: That does
explain it!
OPENS JUG AND SNIFFS
CONTENTS
STEED: Are you sure
this is just lemonade, Purdey?
PURDEY: Well, it
looked a bit sad so I added a dash of vodka to cheer it up.
GAMBIT: Oh well, in
that case…(he
takes a swig…it burns!) Uh, not bad, you’ve invented a new drink…Vodka and fizzy lemonade.
PURDEY: And bitters.
STEED: To cheer up
the Vodka?
PURDEY: No, to cheer
up the Gin.
GAMBIT AND PURDEY ARE
HAVING A WORKOUT
PURDEY: Come on, Gambit,
you’re soft pedalling.
GAMBIT: I’m not, I’m
flat out, ready to kill, I promise.
PURDEY: Has all the
vindictiveness of a woman.
STEED: Aren’t you
rather betraying your own sex?
PURDEY: I’m a realist. Inside every woman there’s a degree of pure
cat.
GAMBIT: I was
looking for someone a trifle more…uh…senior.
A teacher.
PENNY: That’s
me. Penny Redfern. Maths.
GAMBIT: That tells
me we should get along.
PENNY: Oh, you’re a Maths
teacher too, are you?
GAMBIT: No, but I’m
good with figures.
PURDEY: This
citation reads like a boys adventure story.
A machine gun post single-handed.
STEED: Ah yes, a
grenade fragment had torn my belt up. I
was using my other hand to keep my trousers up.
PURDEY: How are you
feeling?
STEED: Drums
crashing the cranium. Cymbals in either ear.
The earth shaking.
PURDEY: Headache?
STEED: Definitely.
