"Woman on P.A.:" "Flight number 103 from Los Angeles arriving at gate 3." " Doctor, don't move a muscle." " Why not?" "That's a fountain pen you're holding." "You security men don't miss a thing, do you?" "All public buildings are supplied with ballpoint pens, not fountain pens." "It takes a trained eye like mine to detect a thing like this." "One tap with this point and you could have been blown to bits!" "Now watch carefully while I remove the detonator." "Now, do you know what we're going to find in this rubber tube?" "Ink?" "Right." "We'd better get out of here fast because that ink might activate the paper." "Come on, Doctor, let's go." "Now in exactly three and a half minutes you'll be onboard that plane and my job will be finished." "In the meantime, just relax and I'll contact headquarters." "Hello." "This is 86 calling CONTROL." "This is 86 calling CONTROL." "Come in, CONTROL." "Hello, Chief?" "This is 86." " What is it, Max?" " Mission XYX-03" " just about completed." " What do you mean, "just about"?" "Isn't Dr. Pliny on the plane?" "No, Chief, but he will be in exactly one minute and 40 seconds." "Then call me back in exactly one minute and 41 seconds." "Come on, Chief, don't tell me that you're still worried about Dr. Pliny." "After all, he is in my protective custody, and I've got agents stashed all over the terminal." "( gasps )" "I'll be with you in a minute, Doctor." "Max, I have a strange feeling that Dr. Pliny is in danger." "Don't be silly, Chief." "We're standing right near the boarding ramp and Dr. Pliny is right beside me... on the floor." "Max, is Dr. Pliny in trouble?" "That all depends, Chief." "Depends on what, Max?" "On whether his flight insurance covers being strangled in the terminal." "( line clicks )" "( theme music playing )" "13, what did you see?" "Nothing." "I'm on my lunch break." "A man has been murdered." "Doesn't that mean anything to you?" "Not from 12:00 to 1:00." "Listen, 13, if you don't straighten up and fly right," "I'm gonna see that on your next assignment you're put inside of an incinerator." " Are you threatening me?" " Yes." "You can't do anything to frighten me." "Last week I was in a stove, the week before that in a chimney," " the week before that" " Never mind." "Forget it, 13." "Didn't you hear or see anything at all?" "No, I'm sorry, 86." "I didn't" "Hey, I got an idea." "Why don't you ask Agent 36?" " He's stationed in locker 39." " Right." "( grunts )" "Thanks a lot, 86." "Sorry about that, 13." "Let's get back to the murder of Dr. Pliny." "Did you bring the murder weapon?" "Yes, Chief, I have it right here." "Obviously the work of The Choker." " You know, Max, he's strangled 375..." " ( telephone rings ) of the free world's top scientists and we've never even gotten an eyewitness account" " of what he looks like." " Or her." " What do you mean?" " After all, Chief," "The Choker could be a woman." "Well, man or woman, The Choker must be stopped!" "Right." "Listen, Chief," "I have to go down to the lab and check on something." " I'll see you in a few minutes." " All right, Max." "We may have an eyewitness, Chief." "That's the break we've been waiting for." "Who is it?" "A cab driver by the name of Andrew Bubinski." "Send him in." " Andrew Bubinski?" " Yeah." "What are you guys, some kind of spies or something?" "Mr. Bubinski, can you tell us exactly what you saw?" "I seen this mugger choking this old guy." "He was pulling on his tie." " You saw this happening?" " Sure." "Didn't you think it was strange?" "Look, mister, I work the night shift." "I don't think nothing's strange." " Did you get a look at the assailant?" " What do you think?" " I was standing right there waiting." " Waiting?" "I thought after they finished they might want a cab." "What I'm trying to get out of you is can you describe the man." "If you want to make a buck, you gotta hustle." "What did the killer look like?" "Well..." "he wasn't too tall." "He was kind of pale and weak-looking with this long nose and black beady eyes." " That's him." "There, there!" " Where?" "Where?" "That's Maxwell Smart, one of our men." "He's the killer." "I saw him." "Of course you saw me." "I was guarding Dr. Pliny while he was being strangled." "He had the guy pinned." "I saw it with my own eyes." "All right." "Thank you, Mr. Bubinski." " He's got killer's eyes." " I have not!" "That'll be all, Mr. Bubinski." " Sure you don't want a cab?" " No." "How about you, killer?" " Get him out of here." " Come on!" "That's some swell witness you've got there." "It's too bad." "We were counting on that man for a description of The Choker." "( intercom buzzes )" "Hello?" "Oh yes, 77." "What?" "Oh." "All right, thank you, 77." "They checked the airport thoroughly." "They didn't come up with anybody even remotely suspicious." "Stymied again." "Only one plane took off after Dr. Pliny was killed." " The Choker must be on it." " Where was that plane going, Chief?" " Casablanca." " I'm ready, Chief." "No, Max, not you." "The Choker might recognize you." "Not necessarily, Chief." "He was inside the locker." " He might recognize your voice." " But I can change my voice, Chief." "I can play any part." "Get a load of this" "No, Max, forget it." "I'll have to take you off the case." "But I've spent a lot of time on this case, Chief." "I'll arrange for you to take a little time off." "You need a respite." "Is that anything like an aspirin?" "No, Max, a rest, a vacation-- a respite." "If there's anything I don't need at this time, Chief, it's a respite." "I personally want to avenge the death of my very good and dear friend, Dr. What's-his-name." "Max, you're starting on a two-week vacation immediately." " Do I have to, Chief?" " That's an order!" "Okay, Chief, okay." "But just remember this:" "you'll be left all alone without my experience and know-how." "You'll be making hundreds of decisions without my advice." "And loving it." "No, Carlson, I'm afraid disguise HB-61 won't work." " She just doesn't look like a boy!" " Thank you, Chief." "But, Chief, the Oriental houseboy is the best disguise we've ever had." "Agent 39 used it to crack the Hong Kong smuggling case." "Carlson, Agent 39 was an Oriental houseboy." " He was?" " ( phone rings )" "Try costume LD-813." "Hello, this is the Chief." "Oh, hello, Max, what is it?" "Listen, Chief, I've been thinking." "Good, Max." "The vacation's helping already." "No, Chief, I've been thinking that the reason you're sending me on vacation is because you're not happy with my work." "Oh, put it this way: you're work's as good as it's ever been." "Oh, good." "Then I can go back on the case." " No, Max." " Let me put it another way, Chief." "Are you angry because of what happened to Dr. Pliny?" "Why should I be angry just because a man you were protecting was strangled while standing right beside you?" "Oh, then I'm back on the case?" "No, Max." "Absolutely, positively definitely no!" "Listen, Chief, if you're undecided I can call you back." " ( line clicks )" " Chief?" " Oh yes, 99, that's much better!" " It's lovely, Chief." " But what's my cover?" " A vocalist." " You're kidding?" " I've heard you sing." "You're very good." " But I'm an amateur!" " You just turned professional." "Congratulations." "We're booking you into the Bent Parrot cafe in Casablanca." "The Bent Parrot-- the watering hole of the world's most notorious double agents." "Yes, a melting pot of criminals of all races and creeds." " And the headquarters of The Choker." " Right!" "They have a policy of hiring offbeat singers." "I'm not offbeat, Chief." "I'm off-key." "You better not be, 99." "Your life may depend on it." " Right, Chief." " Oh, 99?" " Yes?" " Don't say anything about this to Max." "Oh, Chief, I wouldn't!" "He'd be absolutely crushed if he knew I was taking over this case." "He might try to follow you to Casablanca." "That's why I'm putting him on a plane to Canada today." "Listen, Chief, why don't you join Max?" "You could use a vacation." "Just imagine it-- an isolated cabin on a snow-clad mountain, just you and Max..." "I don't understand, Chief." "You didn't have to drive me to the airport." "I want to make sure you get on that plane." "Why are you trying to get rid of me?" "You're supposed to be a father to me." "All right, Max, I'm your father." "Now make believe you're a good boy and I'm sending you to camp." " Okay, but on one condition." " What's that?" " If I get homesick can I come back?" " No, Max." " Gee, Dad." " Cut it out, Max!" "All right, do me one favor, will you, Chief?" " What?" " While I'm gone, keep the case open." "You know I can't make a promise like that." "P.A.:" "Last call for flight number 14, leaving for Quebec." " Now boarding at gate 6." " Have a good vacation, Max."

"She's fine, Max." "Oh." "Uh..." "Is she there?" "I mean in Washington?" "Sure, Max." "She's right in the next room working." " You want to talk to her?" " No, that's all right, Chief." " Just tell her I said hello." " Okay, I'll do that." "Chief, you remember our conversation when we decided The Choker might be a woman?" "Yes, Max, but forget The Choker."

"You're absolutely certain that he's in Canada, Chief?" "Absolutely certain, 99." "He called me from there not five minutes ago." "Hmmm." "Chief... do you remember the cab driver?" "Remember he said he saw Max kill Dr. Pliny?" "Maybe this man who looks like Max is really The Choker." "I think you're right, 99." " Shall I put Plan 7 into action?" " Right away, 99."

"The first thing I noticed was her walk." "It's very hard to disguise a walk." "Then there are certain vocal characteristics." "Speech patterns, eh, Max?" "Right, Chief." "You know what really gave her away?" " The way that she said two words." " What were they?" "She said, "I'm 99."" "But what if I hadn't said anything, Max?" "Well, there are other methods, 99."
