Summary[]
Steve foils a museum's security system so that Countess Lysandra Korischeva can retrieve a microdot--containing vital military information--concealed in a painting. But the Countess also switches a fake for the $5 million masterpiece, which she sells to crime lord Chilton Kane. When Oscar Goldman learns of the substitution, he orders Steve to get it back before the imminent visit of a Russian art expert.
Quotes[]
Oscar: That device is sensitive to air movement. A moth would set it off.
Oscar: The secretary is steaming that we are using the exhibit for espionage purposes.
Guard: What's that?
Steve: Oh, that's a humidity tester. It co-evaluates the negative pressure on the barometric sensor disk with the air filtration control diodes among other things.
Guard: (Laughs) Sure, buddy.
Mrs. Cummings: I understand you were involved in a little operation at the National Gallery last night.
Oscar: And a very highly successful one I might add.
Cummings: I'm afraid not, Mr. Goldman. My input indicates it was miserably bungled.
Oscar: Bungled? The data in that microdot is priceless Mrs. Cummings
Cummings: Its worthless — if you started World War III getting it!
Steve: You stole a painting.
Lysandra: Correction: you stole a painting.
Steve: Correction: I borrowed a painting for a few moments. You stole it.
Lysandra: Would you zip me please? Thank you. Like it? (Indicating her dress)
Steve: Oh its beautiful, great camouflage for your character.
