Quotes
-
Toby Esterhase : Ultra, ultra-sensitive, in fact, Peter.
Peter Guillam : In that case, Toby, I'll try and keep my mouth ultra, ultra-shut.
-
George Smiley : And within six months of Bill Haydon's diagnosis, Control was indeed dead.
Peter Guillam : And what killed him? Operation Witchcraft or Operation Testify?
George Smiley : Neither. Let's not be melodramatic, Control would disapprove. He died of old age... a little early. But Testify destroyed his function in life, which was a form of murder.
-
Peter Guillam : Why was Control always so hostile to Alleline? Percy wasn't a complete fool.
George Smiley : Percy can flirt, Peter. And Control hadn't reckoned on the power of the Alleline lobby.
Peter Guillam : Who were they?
George Smiley : Golfers. "Golfers and Conservatives." That's what Control said to me.

George Smiley : I don't seem to have very much on Operation Testify. Would you...?
