Memorable quotes for
The Wrecking Crew (1969) More at IMDbPro »

Lola Medina: I've heard that you do... drink.
Matt Helm: Just call it a hobby.

Count Massimo Contini: Actually, I would have preferred to live in a different century, Florence in the 13th or Germany in the 18th. Wouldn't you, Mr. Helm?
Matt Helm: No, it'd be all wrong. I'd be dead by now.

Freya Carlson: [After falling into a deep pond] It's too deep.
Matt Helm: Too deep, huh?
[She nods]
Matt Helm: I wanna ask you a question. Whose side are you on?
Freya Carlson: Well, I'm an agent. And I also happen to be a good one. And I'm also a woman!
[She storms away]
Matt Helm: It *was* the wig.

Count Massimo Contini: Ten seconds behind schedule.
Linka Karensky: Is that catastrophic?
Count Massimo Contini: Yes. I deplore sloppiness.

Matt Helm: [to the tune of 'The Sunny Side of the Street’] Grab your coat, get your pale, let me take you in the barn, dear. Just sit back and watch, 'cause I found a cow who gives scotch.

'Mac' MacDonald: [about Linka] And remember, she's about as gentle as a barracuda.

'Mac' MacDonald: [showing a new explosive device] It's so new we don't even have a name for it yet.
Matt Helm: [throws the handkerchief to a safe distance, where it explodes upon hitting the ground] Why don't we call it a little bit of hanky panky?

Matt Helm: Half a bottle is better than none.

Lola Medina: I'm a gypsy, Mr. Helm. My father was a gypsy. And he taught us one thing: wise men enjoy pleasure before business.

Count Massimo Contini: In our civilized business, this is the traditional time to offer you a cigarette or some liquid refreshment, perhaps. But since we are professional people on limiting time schedules, I suggest that we dispense with such amenities.
Matt Helm: Oh, no, let's not dispense with any of those things.

Count Massimo Contini: Please, Mr. Helm. stupidity has a tendency to make me impatient.

Matt Helm: [Freya has pushed Lenka into the pool] What make you think she could swim?
Freya Carlson: That was the only way to find out, right?

Yu-Rang: Mr. Helm? Yu-Rang.
Matt Helm: No I didn't. But since you're here, why don't you sit down?

Matt Helm: [to Freya] I don't know what you got, but you sure got bad timing.

Matt Helm: Wanna do me a favor?
Freya Carlson: Yes sir.
Matt Helm: Go play in the freeway.
[turns to leave but turns back]
Matt Helm: Without a car!

Matt Helm: [to the tune of 'Cry'] If your sweetheart pust a pistol in her bed, you'd do better sleeping with your uncle Fred...

Matt Helm: So this is the place I was gonna get shot in the back. Kind of a stylish pad to take off from.

Matt Helm: Well, I'm supposed to meet Linka tonight and they've set me up for a hit. But I'm gonnna shock her out of her miniskirt.

Freya Carlson: It just so happens that I know where Yu-Rang hangs her kimono.
Matt Helm: I'll bet you do.

Count Massimo Contini: I would like to play poker with you, Mr. Helm, because you lie so unconvincingly.

Linka Karensky: My dear, you must be terribly dedicated to your work, to wear an attrocious wig like that.
Freya Carlson: How very common of you to mention it.

Freya Carlson: [their car is a wreck] Mr. Helm, I'm afraid the car is broken.
Matt Helm: The car is broken?
Freya Carlson: Yes.
[reaches inside the wreckage]
Freya Carlson: Oh! My hat! My hat's ok.

Count Massimo Contini: [on viewscreen] I could indulge myself by killing you, Mr Helm, but I will leave that small chore to our colleague Miss Carlson.
