Igor Grabuzov: Alexander Marek

Quotes 

• [Stonehouse is shown a secretly-shot film of him making love to his Czech translator] 

  Alexander Marek : Mr Stonehouse, you came here as an *official* representative of your country. I hope you found the "hospitality" to your liking. Now, we would like to invite you to become an *unofficial* representative of *our* country, in Great Britain.

  John Stonehouse : [incredulous]  You want me to spy for you?

  Alexander Marek : Sadly, you and I find ourselves on opposite sides of an ideological divide. The "Iron Curtain", if you will. But ultimately we are both working for the same cause: the good of humanity. Isn't that right? So, all we want is for you to pass on any information that comes your way; information you will give me when the two of us meet in London. Thereby fostering closer ties between our two great nations.

  John Stonehouse : Would I be paid?
