Quotes 

• Zoe Reynolds : Look, Ruth, Harry's not a fool. You're good. He'll want to keep you here.

  Ruth Evershed : God, I hope so. I don't want to go back to GCHQ. Too many bloody mathematicians, for one thing.

  Danny Hunter : [interrupting]  Hanson quit the army three years ago, claiming benefits ever since. Why hasn't he reenlisted? The army offer good incentives for experienced soldiers to join up again.

  Ruth Evershed : Well, I'll just go read a North Korea Evening News, or something.

  [leaves the room] 

  Danny Hunter : [sitting down in the chair Ruth has just vacated]  What do you think?

  Zoe Reynolds : I think that for a man whose job's all about observation, perception, and intelligence, you just failed on all three counts.

• Ruth Evershed : Look at that. Of all government ministers, I'd never have made him for a leather queen. No wonder he hasn't got time to sort out the unions.
