Peter O'Toole credited as playing...
Sir Robert Hunter
- Interrogator: Sorry? You tried to shoot the greatest man the world has ever seen and you say you are sorry?
- Hunter: It was a sporting stalk. I'm sorry because you don't have the wit to understand.
- Interrogator: I went to school in England. You say I don't understand English?
- Hunter: You understand English; you just don't understand Englishmen!
- Interrogator: How did you get here?
- Hunter: I walked.
- Interrogator: Walked?
- Hunter: Safest way.
- Interrogator: Walked from where?
- Hunter: Poland.
- Hunter: Poland? That's over 200 miles!
- Hunter: I've got a good bootmaker - Snade in Crivet Street.
- Interrogator: You are an agent of British Foreign Office intelligence.
- Hunter: Absolutely not. There's been very little sign of intelligence in the British Foreign Office for a very long time.
- The Earl: You've made an oversize mess of things, Bobbity, outside, and Neville is furious.
- Hunter: Neville?
- The Earl: Yes, Nev... The prime minister.
- Hunter: Oh, him.
- The Earl: Oh, I know I know. He may look like a middle-class denture salesman, but he got, after all, the post of his majesty's first minister.
- Hunter: Do you keep cash around the office, do you?
- Saul Abrahams: When your name is Abrahams, my dear Robert, you may eat with the best people and even sleep with one or two of them when they're in the mood, but you don't trust them - not ever... not completely. It may be peace in your time, but I don't think it's likely to remain peace in mine.
- Hunter: Oh, Saul, for God's sake, you're as English as I am.
- Saul Abrahams: And you're half-Irish.
