Emma Peel Quotes in The Avengers (1998)

John Steed: Oh, just one thing...

Emma Peel: Good luck?

John Steed: Something like that.

Emma Peel: About the weather, how topical!

Father: It'll help pass the time.

Father: How real do you feel, Mrs. Peel?

Emma Peel: I'll repeat the question, bypassing the weather, which, no doubt, being British, we'll return to in a moment. Do I walk like Mrs Peel, talk like Mrs Peel? Am I witty, wise, wonderful to know? Or, do I go around shooting Ministry agents, attempting to rule the world on my days off?

Father: Now you're just playing games!

Emma Peel: How now, brown cow.

Emma Peel: I suppose Mother warned you about women like me?

John Steed: Until now, I didn't know there were women like you.
