Quotes 

• Ann Smiley : I'm all you've got, George. I'm all there is; there isn't anything else. I want to stop looking. I want you to do the same. Oh, for God's sake, let's pull down the shutters and be a boring married couple.

  George Smiley : I came to tell you that, while I am away - well, it's widely known within the intelligence fraternity - on all sides - that you used to be dear to me. So you and I are both at risk while I'm away.

  Ann Smiley : And afterwards?

  [long pause] 

  George Smiley : Goodbye.

• Lady Ann Smiley : You used to say they were the people who ruined England.

  George Smiley : Did I? Who were THEY in those days? I forget.

  Lady Ann Smiley : Most of my family, even Uncle Harry. What did they do wrong?

  George Smiley : Stayed the same, I guess.
