Quotes
-
Bill Haydon : We used to be a rather classy bunch. Why are we so vulgar these days?
-
Bill Haydon : [to Guillaum] What the hell are you doing here, you pariah?
-
Bill Haydon : Merlin would do if he were my source, wouldn't he? If dazzling bloody Bill here pottered along and said he'd hooked a whacking big fish and wanted to play him alone and sod the expense, what would happen then? Control would say, "That's very nifty of you, Bill boy. You do it just the way you want, Bill boy. Have some filthy jasmine tea."
-
George Smiley : Who runs him, Bill?
Bill Haydon : [jocularly] Percy? Karla does, who else?
-
[Haydon notices an oil painting on Smiley's wall]
Bill Haydon : This is new. I fancy this very much.
George Smiley : Ann gave it to me.
Bill Haydon : Making amends?
George Smiley : Probably.
Bill Haydon : Must have been quite a sin. How is she?
-
Percy Alleline : Now, I would like to call your attention to the Foreign Office comment on the most recent Witchcraft product. And I quote, "This document sheds an extraordinary sidelight on Soviet aggressive thinking."
Bill Haydon : [innocently] Does that mean they like it, Percy?
-
Bill Haydon : Control's going potty, and if I'm not mistaken he's dying. It's just a question of which gets him first.
-
Percy Alleline : The reading room will be known for cover purposes as the conference room of the Adriatic Working Party. The AWP room, for short.
Control : [snorts] Thank you.
Percy Alleline : Customers with reading rights will not have passes, since these, like keys, can be too accessible. Instead, they will appear on a special list with their photographs, and they will identify themselves personally to MY janitor.
Control : WHOSE janitor, Percy?
Bill Haydon : Well, he's already got his own personal wizard. The odd commissionaire seems modest enough domestic staff.
-
Bill Haydon : Stupid bloody cabaret. Percy gets more insufferable every day.
