Quotes 

• Maria : [shouting]  Knees forward! Keep together. Lean into the wind, into it!

  Simon Templar : [narrating]  I can't think of a more pleasant way to spend the day. Her name is Maria Venetti and we are getting on splendidly.

  Maria : Now again please!

  Simon Templar : [narrating]  Maria is one of the instructors at Cortina, busy lady. So naturally one has to make her feel wanted.

  Maria : You really must learn to keep your knees and ankles together, that's what parellel skiing is all about.

  Simon Templar : [narrating]  It helps to keep a little off balance, that way she feels in control of the situation. Women need that. Something to do with their maternal instincts.

  Maria : No, not that way, straighten up, Look out!

  [the Saint groans and falls] 

• Simon Templar : Who the hell are you?

  Diana Lang : The person you're robbing.

• Simon Templar : [to Diana]  Now Venetti was right about one thing: you must be the best looking crook in the business.

• Simon Templar : Girls who drink daquiri should never walk home alone.

  Karen : Congratulations, you've just qualified.

  Simon Templar : I feel warm all over.

  Karen : Hm. I'm recruiting for a party. Only interesting men with interesting names can come.

• Diana Lang : I've heard all about you, Templar.

  Simon Templar : Now who from? My friends or my enemies?

  Diana Lang : Hm, you don't have any friends. You're a one-man band and nobody ever seems to know which side of the law you are on.

  Simon Templar : It is confusing, isn't it?

• Simon Templar : Why the stretchers?

  Diana Lang : Can you think of a better way of carrying something over snow, fast?

  Simon Templar : Two hundred kilos of something?

  Diana Lang : Hm-hm. What we have in mind is heavy but compact.

  Simon Templar : I suppose I can rule out lead.

• Simon Templar : Now nobody plays with avalanches, they have a nasty habit of falling on people.

  Corvis : So bring a shovel.

• Simon Templar : I'm afraid, Miss Lang, it looks to me as though you've broken something. Apart from the law, that is.
