Lisa Robinson : They are not my sisters; and they have nothing to think with.

Dr. John Marlowe : Have you changed your mind?
Lisa Robinson : No, I've just lost it.

Lisa Robinson : [Lisa settling down after hearing Marlowe's story, believing he is Karl Theodor and letting him sleep on the sofa] If you don't mind I will go to sleep now
Dr. John Marlowe : Me too, I think I will sleep well tonight
Lisa Robinson : I'm sure you will, I put two sleeping tablets in your cocoa
[Marlowe looks surprised]
Lisa Robinson : Well Mr Theodor there are risks and risks, and I'm not taking that one !

Dr. John Marlowe : What will happen now?
Colonel Galcon : Anything. At the moment I don't know whether I'm a crypto-fascist, a liberal humanitarian or a simple deviationist. It depends whether I still control tomorrow's newspaper.

Dr. John Marlowe : We are prepared to strike a bargain.
Lisa Robinson : Do you understand?
Karl Theodor : Oh, blackmail?
Dr. John Marlowe : If you like.
Karl Theodor : Why couldn't you have said so? You had me worried for a moment. How much?
Dr. John Marlowe : It's not a question of money.
Karl Theodor : Oh please, please. Don't tell me it's the principle of the thing. That always turns out to be so much more expensive.
