Bombshells

Knowing their weak-minded comrade Grace would betray them and board the yacht they wanted to sink, Eichmann rigs up a bomb on her. But Drummond figures it out and after capturing the two spies tries to find the device. The guy who was supposed to guard the captured assassins gets distracted by Drummond’s bomb-searching methods and they get away in the speedboat. Safely away from the soon-to-be-exploded yacht, Penelope asks Eichmann where the bomb really was. “In her hairpiece.” Penelope says, “But I liked that one better, so I switched them!” BOOOOM!

I Prefer To Roll My Own When the suave uber-villain subtly (ish) offers his women to Drummond, he quips: “I prefer to roll my own.”	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

"Whoops!"
Teleporting Characters You can see in one shot, the nephew is behind the couch then ping! he’s suddenly next to Drummond. A second later, you can see the lady sitting down and then ping! she’s standing next to the two men.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!
