Peter Standish
- Peter Standish: It hasn't always been an eccentricity, Throstle. You admire the Romans - they bathed every day.
- Mr. Throstle: Only when they became degenerate, sir. The virile fathers of the republic...
- Peter Standish: ...were as dirty as you, I dare say.
- Roger Forsyth: What are you running away from?
- Peter Standish: Let's say I don't like my work and let it go at that.
- Roger Forsyth: I see. The occupational disease of the nuclear scientist. The old familiar cry. Stop the world I want to get off.
- Peter Standish: You call it escape. I call it adventure.
- Tom Pettigrew: What do you call the colonies nowadays?
- Peter Standish: The United States of America.
- Tom Pettigrew: Hmmm. A trifle pompous, don't you think? But after all it's only temporary. You Americans will soon come back to the fold. Mark my words sir, you shan't be able to get along without us.
- Peter Standish: [ironically] I wish I had your knowledge of foreign affairs.
- Tom Pettigrew: It takes years!
