Quotes7

  • Coral: You steal my soap, you steal my cigarettes, you even stole my face powder.
  • Guy Burgess: I know. One should have asked. One is such a coward.
  • [to a dour, matronly female Russian official who does not understand English]
  • Guy Burgess: I'm sure I'm not the first person to remark on your pronounced resemblance to the late Ernest Bevin. It is most striking. You could be sisters.
  • Guy Burgess: The average Englishman, you see, is not interested in ideas. Say what you like about political theory. No-one will listen. You could shove a whole slice of the Communist manifesto into the Queen's Speech. Nobody would turn a hair. Least of all, I suspect, HMQ.
  • Guy Burgess: I want you to measure me for some suits.
  • [to female toilet attendant who does not understand English]
  • Guy Burgess: You know, you remind me of a stoker I once knew.
  • Guy Burgess: Shit order, of course. Always in shit order.
  • Guy Burgess: I can't say I love my country. I don't know what that means.
