Quotes 

• Laura Marshall : You look as though something's wrong.

  Bill Kirby : Everything's wrong! It started as a simple, straight commercial proposition. Make a phone call, arrange a meeting, pass on some information, retire covered in glory and a good deal richer. None of it's happened. I don't really know what the hell's going on or who's involved. I think I've stuck my neck in a damned great noose.

• Laura Marshall : I've just come here to ask you about the things I've been told.

  Bill Kirby : Yes, well, it would be clever of you to do that anyway.

  Laura Marshall : I'm not that clever.

• Bill Kirby : Do you know anyone called Jack Arnold?

  Laura Marshall : No.

  Bill Kirby : American about five foot ten, 35 to 40, fair-haired?

  Laura Marshall : No.

  Bill Kirby : I had dinner with him tonight. He implied that the CIA wanted to do business with me. I think he's lying.

  Laura Marshall : You think everyone is lying.

  Bill Kirby : I told him I tried to contact the Americans. I haven't - it wasn't true. He said that's why he was there. So who the hell is Jack Arnold?

  Laura Marshall : Who do you imagine?

  Bill Kirby : I don't know. Possibly another tentacle of the octopus I've been struggling with. Possibly Russian intelligence - KGB! I don't know, Laura. I just don't know!

• Laura Marshall : He still doesn't like to see you with another woman, though, does he? Even though it doesn't mean anything.

  Bill Kirby : Well, I suppose that's something he'll have to learn to live with in time... When I find someone who isn't so damned neutral.
