THE MAKING OF AN
U.N.C.L.E. GIRL
"If you're going to kill a man with your bare hands, Miss Dancer, make certain you know where the beggar's feet are. It's a mistake you won't be able to make twice."
—Mr. Waverly, Headquarters, N. Y.
"Mais non, my dear April! Once you have made your thrust, recover immédiatement. You will not want to be covered with the blood of your victim, n'est-ce pas?"
—Rene de Fresnay, Master Of The Sword, U.N.C.L.E. Academy
"It's in the form of a harmless jelly compound, April. Light it and it just flares harmlessly. But if you contain it in some tube or cylinder, it would destroy this whole building."
—Mark Slate, Laboratory, U.N.C.L.E.
"Nitrogen narcosis, Dancer. If you stay down too long or too deep, you'll get silly in the head. Maybe hand your oxygen filter to a shark or go dancing with an octopus. So make certain you never go down to great depths without another experienced diver. Got me?"
—Sam Wales, Scuba Expert, Tampa, Fla.
"No, you won't fall in love, my girl. You're in love already—with U.N.C.L.E."
—April Dancer, standing before a mirror
