Say, What? Having just recovered from drug-induced amnesia, Emma checks with Steed to make sure she's got things straight by whispering something in his ear, to which he responds, "I'm afraid so." What does she whisper? This little mystery has been puzzling fans for years. Here are some suggestions I've received: Mike Weber claims that, according to some lip-readers, Emma asks, "Are you the man who sleeps with me?" According to Rick Setchell's wife, Kate (who happens to lip-read), it's "Are you the man who asked me to bed?" Adam Durrance checked in with "Are you the man who seduced me?" My dear friend Margaret studied the scene for hours and concluded that Diana Rigg ad-libbed, "Are you the man who dallies with me?" My own pet theory for many years has been, "Are you the man who tried to seduce me?" John Orleanski and his friend Eric Diethorn took a high-tech approach to the problem. Using sophisticated audio analysis equipment, they sampled the sound during Emma's whisper and subjected it to scientific scrutiny. The results are not (yet) conclusive, but preliminary analysis indicates that the most likely contender is "Are you the man who dallies with me?" |
