Quotes 

• George Smiley : Is there anything you would like me to pass on to Ann?

  Bill Haydon : That was nothing personal, George. You have to understand. Karla said that you were good; the one we had to worry about. If I were to known as Ann's lover, he'd figure that you wouldn't be able to see me straight. And he was right, up to a point...

  George Smiley : Up to a point.

• Bill Haydon : [on the phone]  As I said, you may fuck me but you still have to call me "Sir" in the morning.

• George Smiley : Did Karla want you take over the Circus?

  Bill Haydon : I'm not his bloody office boy!

  George Smiley : [angry]  What are you then, Bill?

  Bill Haydon : I'm someone who's made his mark.

• Bill Haydon : I thought I'd pop down and catch a glimpse at the new girl before Bland gets to her.

  Peter Guillam : Ah, yes, Belinda the Blonde.

• [Haydon rides a bicycle into the Circus office] 

  Peter Guillam : You got clearance for that?

  Bill Haydon : Well, I'm not bloody chaining it up outside. Mind you, probably no better off in here with this bunch of bloody cut-throats, they'll have the gold out of your teeth!

• Bill Haydon : You really are a poison dwarf, Toby. Why don't you fuck off to his majesty and stop trying to involve me in your little cabaret.

• Bill Haydon : It's become so ugly...

• George Smiley : [discussing the veracity of a new report]  Where did you get this?

  Control : I didn't. Percy and his little cabal walked in with it.

  Easterhase : Look, Control...

  Control : Shut up!

  Bill Haydon : Style, appalling. Blatantly a fabrication from beginning to end. Just could be the real thing.

  Control : Smiley is suspicious, Percy.

  George Smiley : Where did it come from? What's the access?

  Percy Alleline : A new secret source of mine.

  George Smiley : But how could he possibly have access?

  Percy Alleline : He has access to the most sensitive levels of policy making. We named the Operation Witchcraft.

  Control : Well, Percy and his pals bypassed us Smiley. Gone straight to the minister. Percy has been allowed to keep the identity of his new friend top secret.

  Bill Haydon : What the hell are you doing up here?
