Devlin : This room's bugged.
Martin Rose : Not like you to be suspicious.

Attorney General : Look, Martin, I can imagine what you're thinking. How this looks to you.

Attorney General : I'm not even here.

Claudia Simmons-Howe : [referring to Martin Rose's son] How old is he now?

Piccola : Martin, may I introduce Joanna?
Martin Rose : Hello, Joanna.

Piccola : Joanna, he's famously awful.

Claudia Simmons-Howe : There's no good way out of this, is there? There's no... There is no right way out of this.
Martin Rose : No. Sorry, Claudia.
Claudia Simmons-Howe : So how do we do it?
Martin Rose : I'll call them, and tell them that we'll do as we're told.
Claudia Simmons-Howe : [chuckles incredulously] It's that simple?
Martin Rose : Yes, that simple.

Claudia Simmons-Howe : You blame yourself.
Martin Rose : Mostly.
Claudia Simmons-Howe : Well, that's good. The old Martin Rose would never have accepted the blame for anything.
Martin Rose : I only said "Mostly."
Claudia Simmons-Howe : Well, that's even better 'cause that means the old Martin Rose has not entirely gone.

Martin Rose : And for the next bit, you tell me that uhm... the law needs men of integrity.
Claudia Simmons-Howe : Yeah, it does. But that doesn't mean that there's also a place for someone like you.
