Peter Firth: Harry Pearce

Quotes 

• Oliver Mace : There's a serious threat to national security here. I can't keep to the niceties.

  Harry Pearce : I like the niceties. They protect us from tyranny.

• Harry Pearce : So we lure a United States citizen to this country and force confession out of her? That is a totally illegal, madcap scheme. I like it. Great idea, Adam.

  Adam Carter : It's not mine, it's Tom's.

• Ruth Evershed : Uh, we had a spook taxi outside the hotel. Carmen hired it.

  Harry Pearce : Spook taxi?

  Ruth Evershed : Yeah I, I, I've been recruiting taxi drivers. It's cheaper than having our own cars.

• Oliver Mace : Ah Harry, good to see you. Do you know Jason Belling?

  Harry Pearce : Only from certain tape recordings.

• Oliver Mace : This is too big a game for you to win, Harry.

  Harry Pearce : We shall see.

• [last lines] 

  Harry Pearce : You went over to them.

  Oliver Mace : Yes.

  Harry Pearce : Damn near landed us with a Ministry of Security running a secret police.

  Oliver Mace : I was, perhaps, somewhat blinded by ambition.

  Harry Pearce : Somewhat blinded?

  Oliver Mace : You can't force my resignation, you know. This is only a one-all draw.

  Harry Pearce : James, same again for Mr. Mace and I'll have a large usual, not on my tab.

  James : Thank you, Mr. Pearce.
