- Maxwell Smart: I demand the cone of silence.
- Chief: Max, do we have to?
- Maxwell Smart: Well, with vital information like this, of course we have to, Chief.
- Chief: Okay, you win, Max.
- Chief: [speaking into intercom] Hodgkins, lower the cone of silence.
- Chief: [the cone of silence is lowered over the Chief and Max] Now what did you find out?
- Maxwell Smart: Nothing.
- Chief: [pushes button, angrily] Hodgkins, raise the cone of silence.
- Victor: [trying to get away from Max] Well, if you'll all excuse me, I think I'll go in the kitchen, get a glass of water.
- Maxwell Smart: [keeping Victor covered with a gun in his pocket] I think I'll go with you, I'm a little thirsty myself.
- Victor: Eh, no, no, you stay here and chat with your uncle, I'll bring you a glass of water.
- Maxwell Smart: No, you don't know what kind of water I like. Eh, I mean you don't know where the faucet it.
- Uncle Abner: In most apartments it's over the sink. Round here I wouldn't bet on it.
- Maxwell Smart: Now I'm gonna have this gun in my pocket at all times, so you're gonna be completely covered. Now as far as my aunt and uncle are concerned, you and I are old army buddies, have you got that?
- Victor: Right. We flew together in the Luftwaffe.
- Aunt Bertha: [concerned about Max' strange behavior] Something terrible is happening.
- Uncle Abner: I know, he must be mixed up in something bad. He's either a bookmaker or a gambler.
- Aunt Bertha: Or a musician!
- Maxwell Smart: The information was written in code on the inside of the shoes. As a matter of fact, when my uncle Abner leaves the store, he'll be wearing the plans of a deadly sea-to-air missile.
