The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Quotes

Napoleon Solo: You told me this was going to be a simple extraction.
Sanders: It should have been. I didn't ask you to light up half of East Berlin.
Napoleon Solo: They were waiting for me.
Sanders: Don't flatter yourself, they follow everybody.
Napoleon Solo: One of them who was waiting for me was barely human. You should've seen him run.
Sanders: Grow a spine, Solo. Contrary to what you think, we are not in with the haberdashery business.
Napoleon Solo: I don't think you understand. He tore the back off my car.
Sanders: Remind me, Solo, how long was your prison sentence. You owe me five more years. Now, I know that you've been taking care of yourself on the side. Wetting your beak, so to speak. We don't pay you enough to be able to put truffles in your rizzoto, Solo. But don't ever make the calamitous error of mistaking my deliberate short sightedness for blindness. Now you'll report for duty tomorrow morning nine a.m. sharp. And with a better attitude.
