Guy Burgess
- 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.

- 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.
- [to female toilet attendant who does not understand English]
- Guy Burgess: You know, you remind me of a stoker I once knew.
