Lady Penelope: [Lady Penelope is being carried off by The Hood's minion, Mullion]

Lady Penelope: Mind the gap, Alan.

Lady Penelope: [echo] Mind the gap, Alan. Mind the gap, Alan.

Lady Penelope: I've just had some information from Parker, Alan. I am a little uneasy. Tell me, what do you think of Captain Foster?

Alan Tracy: I don't go for him, Penelope. He's a little too smooth for my liking.

Lady Penelope: Tell me, Alan, has he been questioning you about International Rescue?

Lady Penelope: [realising she is being listened to] Oh well, um, perhaps we *are* allowing our imaginations to run away with us. After all, everyone's interested in International Rescue. It's only natural they should ask questions.

Alan Tracy: [suspicious of Lady Penelope's change in attitude] Oh. So you don't think there's anything to worry about, Penelope?

Lady Penelope: No. After all, they have all been screened. They're carefully selected men.
