Quotes
-
Robert Holmes : Jack, he's been parked outside since yesterday.
Jack : Shepherd thinks his own mother's a spy. All I know is I put the decoder in your safe.
Robert Holmes : Well, I'm sure he suspects you and I of stealing it - some nefarious plot to sell it to... well, whoever the bad guy is this month. In the right hands it could be worth millions. I could take all that money and buy a sports car like yours.
Jack : What? An old man like you?
-
Shepherd : You've never seen those names before?
Robert Holmes : No.
Shepherd : Hmmm. Well, they were found in your desk. I got permission from the ambassador to search your office - and Jack's.
Robert Holmes : I am an Oxford graduate, you know. I'm not entirely dim. If I had stolen the decoder, do you think I would keep a list of the people I could sell it to in my office?

Robert Holmes : You will tell the ambassador we were all bested by a 12-year-old girl.
