Episode Quotes
James: Now there's a coincidence. I have a dressing gown exactly like that.
Gerda Scharff: Oh, please, Mr. West, I had to take a bath. All that plaster dust from the explosion was in my hair. I do hope you don't mind my borrowing this.
James: Mind? I'm grateful. I never knew how delightfully it could be filled out.

Count Manzeppi: I'm afraid you've been very naughty.
Gerda Scharff: Don't think I won't shoot, Count. I will.
Count Manzeppi: Bless you, my child, of course you'll shoot me. Don't the ladies have unique ways of showing their affections? You're a connoisseur in these matters, Mr. West. How would you rate our Gerda on a scale of pulchritude?
James: Very high.
Count Manzeppi: And in the matter of morals?
James: Very low.
Gerda Scharff: Don't think I won't shoot, Count. I will.

Count Manzeppi: And in the matter of morals?
James: Very low.
James: Dodo. How well-named your colleague is.
Count Manzeppi: Hmm? "Dodo: large flightless bird from the isle of Mauritius. Distinguished by its clumsiness."
James: Which eventually became extinct.
Dodo LeBlanc: I do not become extinct, monsieur. I make others extinct.

Dodo LeBlanc: I do not become extinct, monsieur. I make others extinct.
Artemus: Are we getting a little too complicated for you, Count?
Count Manzeppi: Oh, no. I adore complicated devices. Witness my affection for Gerda.
Count Manzeppi: Oh, no. I adore complicated devices. Witness my affection for Gerda.
James: Count, I never tire of your entrances.
Count Manzeppi: They're very important, aren't they? After all, what is life but an entrance, a brief performance, and then an exit. To coin a phrase.
Count Manzeppi: They're very important, aren't they? After all, what is life but an entrance, a brief performance, and then an exit. To coin a phrase.
James: How you acquired this Stone might make interesting telling.
Count Manzeppi: That story would weave a tangled thread down into the misty stench of ancient crypts. Through the brooding bazaars of Damascus, up to the high wastes of Tibet, watered by a small ocean of blood. How time flies when you're having fun.

Count Manzeppi: You're threatening me with a golden gun. I don't think I've ever been threatened with a golden gun before. It's charming.
