- Harry Palmer: Tell me Nick, have you got a mole on the left cheek of your ass?
- Nick: No.
- Harry Palmer: Neither have I. We could be related.
- Alexei: I'm not being overly dramatic, Mr. Palmer, when I say the fate of the world is in your hands.
- Harry Palmer: Are you in charge of this operation?
- Nick: Yes
- Harry Palmer: You're a bit young, aren't you?
- Nick: You don't worry about my youth, and I won't worry about your age.
- Harry Palmer: [about to be thrown off a train at high speed] You said you weren't a cruel man, Colonel. Can't we wait for a slow bit?
- Nick: [after being thrown off a train at high speed with Harry] "Can't we wait for a slow bit?" I can't believe you bloody said that!
- Harry Palmer: What do they say at Airport security? Is this your bag? Did you pack it yourself? Did anyone give you a present?
