  Christine Dale : No!

  Harry Pearce : What are you? Some kind of old-style honeytrap?

  Christine Dale : I swear!

• Ruth Evershed : Oh, Harry, I've been onto the FBI like you asked me. Uh, this American criminal, Michael The Shark Kaharias -- it's amazing what they call themselves -- well, he's dead. The FBI had a tip-off. His body was found in a storm drain in Miami three days ago.

  Harry Pearce : So Tom saw a dead man arrive at Heathrow. Come, now.

• Harry Pearce : I think Tom Quinn's on the blink.

  Ruth Evershed : Not Tom.

  Harry Pearce : Yes.

  Ruth Evershed : Harry, Tom Quinn is your brightest and best.

  Harry Pearce : It's the brightest and the best who can go bad so spectacularly.
