Round Table - The Re-Collectors Affair

I watched that episode yesterday, considering I had a lot of time on my hands being stuck inside waiting for the snow to melt.  I sort of like this episode, primarily because IK looks amazing and has so many good scenes.  He also has some incredibly confusing lines.
When speaking to Mr. Waverly and subsequently suggesting he go and help his partner, only to be told no, Illya replies that Napoleon might get a 'sick headache'.  What?  I have never understood why he said that.  Anyone?
When Napoleon remarks about how competent the Frenchwoman is, Illya's response: Well, an attractive woman should be much more than just competent.''  And he prefaces that statement with something about it being distressing to see a woman who is merely competent.  All of it is very strange.  I'm sure there's more wacky dialogue out there.  Does anyone have favorites?

The writer is Harlan Ellison and if you look up commentary type stuff he wrote as intros to his books, you'll see he uses the phrase often. I will say it is not a complimentary remark as he tends to use it when he is pissed off about not getting his due with regard to the quality of stuff he has written.
