Mike Gambit, I can cook, sew, dance, break your back in three places if you step out of line AND I know how to use your bed against you.

Hm, sounds like Purdey. :happy:

Haha!

''Use his bed against....'' Hm, he's probably more used to his bed working as an advantage for him. :brows:

:lmao: That's Purdey in a nutshell. (A marshmallow-lined one).

I'm with Maartje--it's dirty pool, using Gambit's greatest weapon against him. The woman doesn't play fair. :lol:

Now if only Gambit could reach the controls next time, things could get really interesting. :whistle:

Gambit needs to start fighting dirty to keep up. You have too much honor, Gambit dear. It's letting you down. :wink:

From Gladiators

Man: We'll keep her around for more pleasurable reasons
Steed: You know a remark like that may annoy Purdey
Man: And what does Purdey do when Purdey's annoyed

*Cue purdey punching him in the face* :lol:

Best part of the episode :P

Oh, I'd forgotten all about that one! Gambit should keep quiet--Purdey might be able to hear him across the fields and valleys. "Wrong? Wrong?! Mike Gambit, you're a dead man!" :lol:

Really, Gambit. Purdey's never wrong. Never ever. It's everyone else who's not quite right. :lolol:

That's right. If Purdey says it's the moon in the sky during the day, it's the moon. Quit arguing, Gambit. You'll only get a headache. :wink:

"You have. Twice."

I'm sorry. Maartje cued me up. :lol:

Which brings me to the very last lines of that episode:

P: Believe me, there's no difference. No difference at all.

I always notice Purdey doesn't get out of the car, presumably because she's going to move on to a district lit with a little less red. Men are men, regardless of social background. :wink:

Haha yes, and I love the look Purdey gives him too. :lol: It kinda reminds me of a song by the Kooks:

Then you smiled, he got wild.
You didn't understand that there's money to be made.
Beauty is a card that must get played,
By organisation,
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me.

Yeah, Purdey's probably going on to watch some Moliére? Since the Chippendales weren't established before 1979, I guess that's the best she can get ... :P

G: I assure you, Purdey, there's no difference at all.
P: Oh yes? Like there's no difference with French girls? *smirk*

Purdey actually thought there was no difference between English and French girls, either, but Gambit's got a different opinion on that one. If she knows men, I can pretty much guarantee he knows women. :lol:

G: What could YOU do for me? Well, first of all I'd like to go over the school records, list of all the old boys...
P: And second?
G: Take you to dinner, and then go somewhere for a nice, quiet drink?
P: Like your place, Mr Gambit?
G: The service there is highly recommended.
P: How well do you mix a Martini?

Now, one thing... You don't mix Martini, you have it pure! But otherwise: brilliant scene. :hearteyes:
