The State Within

Sir Mark Brydon:
You're a duplicitous bastard.

Nicholas Brocklehurst:
It's my job.

[first lines]

Anthony Hanley:
Ring me.

Nicholas Brocklehurst:
Thank you, Mr. Hanley. I'll be in touch.

Anthony Hanley:
Good luck.

Christopher Styles:
What should we tell the speech writers?

Lynne Warner:
Oh try, "if Britain's our friend who needs enemies".

Lynne Warner:
So, which way to you think she's going to steer the committee?

Christopher Styles:
Well, it's hard to say, she is a democrat.

Lynne Warner:
Yes, but she's also a Jew.

Vernon:
I want to say a few words on Luke's behalf at the Pardons Board.

Matthew Weiss:
Uh, aren't you the guy who's escorting him to the death chamber?

Vernon:
I'm the guy that prays with him every day.

Nicholas Brocklehurst:
There is no hard evidence.

Jane Lavery:
It looks bloody suspicious to me.

Nicholas Brocklehurst:
Stop, right there! These tapes link the Secretary of Defense not only to a massacre but, by association, to the bombing of a civilian plane on U.S. soil resulting in the deaths of hundreds of British and American citizens. The entire credibility of Western Government is at stake.

Phil Lonsdale:
If we are to claw back influence with Usman, your head will be the first thing he demands. If we open talks with the opposition party, you are the man who failed to protect their leader. Either way, you are a liability. Don't think that your mate the Prime Minister is riding to your rescue. They expect your resignation.

Mark Brydon:
This is working out rather well for you, isn't it?

Lynne Warner:
What did Adair promise you?

Christopher Styles:
Sometimes doing our duty requires us to make terrible sacrifices. You said that at Tommy's grave.

Lynne Warner:
Don't you dare utter his name. You're not worthy to be sh*t on his shoe.
