Quotes 

• Freya Neilson : [Referring to Simon]  I like him.

  Bernard : I thought you would.

  Freya Neilson : I like him because he doesn't like the world. It's a good beginning.

• Bernard : I live with one fact. A power has been released that will melt these stones. We must be ready when the time comes.

  Freya Neilson : You really believe it's going to happen, don't you?

  Bernard : Certainly! There's absolutely no question.

• Freya Neilson : You know, someone once told me, that when a bureaucrat wants to keep his job, he stamps everything 'Top Secret.' Is that true?

  Bernard : [Coyly]  It's probably true, sometimes.

  Freya Neilson : I... hate your secrets, Bernard.

  Bernard : [Suddenly very hesitant]  Freya, if I were to tell you... even a little *bit* about... what you call my 'secrets,'... I might be condemning you to death. Please trust my judgement.

• Freya Neilson : Captains and majors, hmm? Do they both belong to you?

  Bernard : Aye... and I keep a pet colonel in the kennel at home.
