- [first lines]
- John Drake: [voiceover] It was a cold, windy morning. It would be. My orders were to sit at the corner table of a certain cafe at 6:15 precisely. I was supposed to be reading a copy of Ici Paris while I awaited the arrival of the inevitable mysterious stranger. Ha! These security boys must sit up nights working out this cloak-and-dagger stuff. You know they even had a password for this job? Question: 'Coffee and eggs for two?' Answer: 'Why not scrambled?' Believe it or not.
- Lisa Orin: You're going to murder him.
- John Drake: Miss Orin, you teach your children to live in peace. But there are some men who thrive on hate, Miss Orin. They make a profession out of war. They aren't many, but they're dangerous, and they have to be stopped. Hans Vogeler is a professional assassin.
- Colonel Keller: He's cunning. Sadistic. We want him, Drake. We've got to get him out.
- John Drake: We?
- Colonel Keller: You.
- John Drake: Yeah, that's what I thought you meant.
