Modesty Blaise

McWhirter:
[about Mrs. Fothergill] When the moon is full, I fear for my life.

Gabriel:
Suffragette!

Modesty Blaise:
Psychopath!

Gabriel:
[to Pacco] If the girl is alive tomorrow night, you won't be.

Sir Gerald Tarrant:
I don't know how much you know about Arab etiquette, but the thing that must be avoided above all is familiarity. These chaps are as proud as Lucifer, and a woman among Muslims must be particularly careful.

Sir Gerald Tarrant:
[Advising Modesty] A woman amongst Muslims has to be particularly careful.

McWhirter:
[after watching her strangle a man with her feet] Have you ever wondered about Mr. Fothergill?

Gabriel:
I am Mr. Fothergill.

Amsterdam guide:
[after a boat has blown up] Oh, I'm sorry about the explosion. It doesn't happen every day.

Modesty Blaise:
I don't come every day.

Modesty Blaise:
[Speaking of Gabriel's criminal career] The Royal Box at Ascot... picking pockets.

Gabriel:
One has to start somewhere, you know.

Modesty Blaise:
Your first mistake.

Gabriel:
[Pointing his finger reprovingly] My last!

Gabriel:
You know, you really are very beautiful.

Modesty Blaise:
I haven't been dead for 42 years.

Gabriel:
Very good for one's image.

Modesty Blaise:
Mmmm.

Mrs. Fothergill:
[Noticing a tattoo scorpion on Modesty's leg when she grabs it] Ah... Scorpio.

Modesty Blaise:
There's a sting in my tail. Mmm-hmm.

Gabriel:
I am the villain of the piece. I have to condemn you.

Modesty Blaise:
But I am the heroine. Don't I get away?

Gabriel:
Perhaps.

Modesty Blaise:
Where are you taking me?

Gabriel:
You are on board the Andronicus bound from Bizerte to Dubroynik with a cargo of fruits and nuts.

Willie Garvin:
He's a fruit merchant, see?

Modesty Blaise:
He is a nut.

Gabriel:
That's enough of that.

Gabriel:
[Staked out in the hot sun and very thirsty] Champagne... champagne... champagne.
