Quotes
-
Lauder Strickland : Oh dammit, George, that whole era is dead.
George Smiley : And so is Vladimir! And I wish to God we'd got half his courage and one tenth his integrity.
-
Saul Enderby : Oh, that reminds me, George. Did you twist that young fellow Mostyn's tail, by any chance?
George Smiley : Whatever do you mean?
Saul Enderby : Yes, I thought so. That's why I sacked him. Tried to sell him to the BBC, but they wouldn't have him. What's he up to now, Strickland?
Lauder Strickland : He's in retreat, sir. Joined an order of Franciscan monks near Ipswich.
Saul Enderby : Ipswich, eh? Cold bloody spot to pray.
