- Count Franz Von Papen: I've often wondered, Countess - why did you leave Warsaw?
- Countess Anna Staviska: Bombs were falling. I felt I was in the way.
- Ulysses Diello: [to Moyzisch] ... and please don't have me followed. You Germans have no talent for it. You keep wanting to get ahead of the people you follow.
- Japanese Ambassador: [to Von Papen while the two of them listening a German vocalist singing Wagner] If Excellency will excuse me, I have suddenly acquired a rather severe headache.
- Count Franz Von Papen: I've had mine for some time.
- Japanese Ambassador: Perhaps from standing too much?
- Count Franz Von Papen: From listening too much. Wagner makes me ill.
- Japanese Ambassador: Herr von Papen, I hope your country appreciates you. You're the only unpredictable German I have ever met.
- Ulysses Diello: So many more people go into German embassies than come out. I've often wondered what attraction could keep them there so long.
- Colin Travers: I'm probably just a gossip at that. Maybe that's why I like my work. Counter espionage is the highest form of gossip.
- Countess Anna Staviska: [to Moyzich] Please, Moyzich, don't look at me as if you had a source of income other than your salary.
- [He clicks his heels and leaves]
- Count Franz Von Papen: You could have counted on our protection.
- Countess Anna Staviska: I understand you're protecting all of my estates and possessions in Poland. Who has them?
- Count Franz Von Papen: Field Marshall Goering, I believe.
- Countess Anna Staviska: Many of our German friends before the War would come as our guests to hunt wild pigs. I refused to invite Goering. I couldn't tolerate Goering killing a wild pig. It seemed too much like brother killing brother.
- Countess Anna Staviska: Unfortunately, I have a dinner engagement. But he's an undersecretary and used to waiting.
- Ulysses Diello: Any particular undersecretary, madam?
- Countess Anna Staviska: Undersecretaries are never particular. Perhaps that's why they take me to dinner.
- Ulysses Diello: It's far more likely that in madam's presence they feel like ambassadors.
- Count Franz Von Papen: Why did you leave Warsaw?
- Countess Anna Staviska: Bombs were falling. I felt I was in the way.
- Count Franz Von Papen: And why did you come here? You and your late husband had lived so long in England.
- Countess Anna Staviska: I did not consider being bombed in London more attractive than being bombed in Warsaw.
- L. C. Moyzisch: Cicero?
- Count Franz Von Papen: The name is the personal choice of Herr Ribbentrop.
- L. C. Moyzisch: Has it any significance, sir?
- Count Franz Von Papen: None that I know of. Except the surprising fact that Herr Ribbentrop has even heard of Cicero.
- L. C. Moyzisch: We would prefer that you come to the German consul at the same hour if you like.
- Ulysses Diello: No, thank you, although I'm tempted. So many more people go into German consulates than come out. I've often wondered what possible attraction would keep them there so long.
- Ulysses Diello: [to Moyzisch] Spies are notoriously poor businessmen. Most of them are professional patriots, frustrated liberals or victims of blackmail. And in all such cases the emotional involvement weakens their bargaining position and destroys sound business judgements.
- Colin Travers: [to Diello] You're the most cold-blooded thief, traitor and criminal I've seen in a lifetime of looking at human trash.
- Ulysses Diello: What a pity. I rather hoped I'd look like a gentlemen.
- Keith Macfadden: This city was created by Allah, for the convenience of spies. Nobody ever found anybody in Istanbul.
- Count Franz Von Papen: Half-witted, paranoid gangsters. Moyzisch, it's time you understand - we represent a government of juvenile delinquents.
- L. C. Moyzisch: Yes, sir.
- Countess Anna Staviska: Do you have a nationality, Diello?
- Ulysses Diello: Most people are born somewhere.
- Countess Anna Staviska: You're not a native Englishman. What are you?
- Ulysses Diello: Albanian... English by adoption.
- Countess Anna Staviska: You're the only Albanian I've ever known.
- Ulysses Diello: You know one, you know them all.
