Quotes 

• Malcolm Wynn-Jones : He can't explode the stick.

  Harry Pearce : I'd like to believe that

  Malcolm Wynn-Jones : I mean he physically can't. The container's made of titanium steel. It's several feet thick. He could run an express train into it. The train would end up in the scrap yard. It requires specialised tools to open. You can't just pop the lid off with a screwdriver.

  Zoe Reynolds : Those are oil vats. He's not gonna bomb the truck, he's gonna bomb those. It's a massive oil fire. What would that do to uranium?

  Malcolm Wynn-Jones : It would make it very angry.

• Harry Pearce : Don't you two have homes to go to?

  Danny Hunter : Tube strike. It's raining, no cabs.

  Harry Pearce : We train you to be resourceful. I'm sure you'll find a way.

  Danny Hunter : Maybe we could book out a pool car on strike days?

  Harry Pearce : Operational purposes only, I'm afraid. I can provide you with specially-designed waterproofing equipment. Standard field officer issue.

  [opening his umbrella] 

  Harry Pearce : You press this button here.

  Harry Pearce : You got too close to the subject. Don't let personal feelings...

  Tom Quinn : Personal feelings? Yeah, I have personal feelings.

  Harry Pearce : Well, bury them! Because...

  Tom Quinn : Fuck you! If the new world order means we're in the business of destroying anyone who questions the political agenda, then I'm in the wrong job!

  Harry Pearce : Take a long weekend, and put this operation behind you.

  Tom Quinn : Shame on you, Harry. Shame on you for allowing us to be manipulated.

  Harry Pearce : It's over! I will take your debriefing at a later stage. And as regards Mata Hari out there, no fraternizing with foreign operatives, even if they are friendlies. You and I both know there's no such thing in our world.

  Tom Quinn : I will not be dictated to.

  Harry Pearce : Never question my decisions! End it. I don't care how. I do care when. The next time I see you, you're a single man.
