Max Fischer Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Memorable quotes A few Memorable Quotes from "Get Smart" (1965) Agent 99: Max, that knife missed you by inches. Maxwell Smart: You think it's some kind of warning? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agent 99: You're not taking me on this assignment, are you, Max? Maxwell Smart: No, I'm not. Agent 99: But, Max, this is the biggest case that's ever been given to Control, it could mean the end of the world. Maxwell Smart: If it's going to mean the end of the world, I want to make sure that you're all right. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chief: I'm sure Congress will reconsider our budget cut. Agent 99: Well, why doesn't Congress cut the CIA's budget? Maxwell Smart: How can they? Nobody knows what their budget is. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KAOS Agent: Look, I'm a sportsman. I'll let you choose the way you want to die. Maxwell Smart: All right, how about old age? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maxwell Smart: I may never get to play with the Philharmonic, but on the other hand, is Leonard Bernstein licensed to kill? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maxwell Smart: There are no holidays in the fight against evil. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chief: Max, you realize that you'll be facing every kind of danger imaginable. Maxwell Smart: And... loving it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agent 99: You'll be in extreme danger every minute. Maxwell Smart: ...and... loving it -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maxwell Smart: I'm getting complaints from the landlord about the gun battles in the hall, and the bombs in the lobby, and the knife fights in the elevator. Chief: Well, when you rent an apartment to a secret agent, you've got to expect those things. Maxwell Smart: But he doesn't know I'm a secret agent. Chief: Well, how do you explain people attacking you and shooting at you? Maxwell Smart: Well, I told him I work for the Bureau of Internal Revenue. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chief: Max, this will undoubtedly be the most dangerous mission you've ever gone on. You probably won't get back alive. Maxwell Smart: If you're trying to scare me, Chief, you're wasting your time. I don't know the meaning of the word fear. Chief: You'll parachute from six thousand feet. Maxwell Smart: I think I just learned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
