Sir Bernard Pellegrin:
Do you no good to go poking around under rocks, Justin. Some very nasty things live under rocks, especially in foreign gardens.
Justin Quayle:
Arnold Bluhm is gay, Bernard. Gay men don't rape their women friends.
Sir Bernard Pellegrin:
[bemused] Well, I've known one or two very savage queens in my time.
Tim Donohue:
[after a car chase through the desert] Who did you think I was?
Justin Quayle:
Fuck you, Donohue! This is bandit country.
Tessa Quayle:
It's like it's a marriage of convenience and all it produces are dead offspring.
Tessa Quayle:
I thought you spies knew everything.
Tim Donohue:
Only God knows everything. He works for Mossad.
Lorbeer:
Big pharmaceuticals are right up there with the arms dealers.
Lorbeer:
I only give the food to the women, Mr. Black. Women make the homes, men just make wars... and hooch. Adam was God's first draft - He got it right with Eve. Tell that to your readers, Mr. Black.
Tim Donohue:
Leave this Justin. Go home.
Justin Quayle:
I can't go home. Tessa was my home.
[last lines]
Justin Quayle:
[whispering] Tessa...
Justin Quayle:
[Tessa tells Justin to slow down, wanting to drive a woman, her baby, and her brother who are walking 40 kilometers back to his home] We can't involve ourselves in their lives, Tessa.
Tessa Quayle:
Why.
Justin Quayle:
Be reasonable. There are millions of people, they all need help. It's what the agencies are here for.
Tessa Quayle:
Yeah, but these are three people that WE can help.
Tessa Quayle:
Sorry, I've just got one question: Whose map is Britain using when it completely ignores the United Nations and decides to invade Iraq?
Tessa Quayle:
Or do you think it's more diplomatic to bend the will of a superpower and politely take part in Vietnam the Sequel?
Justin Quayle:
Well, ah, I can't speak for Sir Bernard...
Tessa Quayle:
Oh, I thought that was why you were here?
[lecture audience laughs]
Justin Quayle:
35
Well, diplomats have to go where they're sent.

Tessa Quayle:
So do labradors.
Justin Quayle:
[Smiling] Ouch... Well, I think Mr. Bernard would argue that when peaceful means are exhausted...
Tessa Quayle:
Exhausted? Mr.Quayle, they're not exactly exhausted, they're just lying in the way of the tanks!
Sandy Woodrow:
Don't try to play detective.
[first lines]
Justin Quayle:
Oh, thank you Arnold. I... I can manage that. But I still don't see why you couldn't wait a couple of weeks. Why go all the way up to Loki?
Tessa Quayle:
Well, we want to hear Grace Makanga speak, and she won't be coming to Nairobi.
