- Nikolai Zaleshoff: How did you know the gun wasn't loaded?
- Joe Barton: By its weight.
- Nikolai Zaleshoff: There might have been one bullet in it.
- Joe Barton: That's the chance I had to take.
- Nikolai Zaleshoff: YOU had to take?
- 'Mac' McNamara: [Last lines Asking about Joe and Tamara] What are you going to do in Moscow?
- Joe Barton: We're gonna cement Russian-American relations.
- Mailler: [Pointing a gun] Keep moving. Understand?
- Joe Barton: [Reacting to the gun] That's one language I do understand.
- [Joe Barton can be seen meeting with McNamara in the latter's office]
- Joe Barton: Hello, Mac.
- 'Mac' McNamara: Hello, Barton.
- [the two of them approach and shake hands]
- 'Mac' McNamara: I thought you'd check in before this. Have any luck?
- Joe Barton: Yeah, I had some luck. But it was all bad. I had everything all tied up in a nice sweet package and then things blew up. I need some help.
- [in his office, McNamara is speaking with Joe Barton]
- 'Mac' McNamara: Help? You're going to need plenty. There isn't a newspaper in Turkey this morning that doesn't carry your name and address. And every policeman in Ankara is on the lookout for you.
- Joe Barton: I know. They almost nabbed me in my hotel.
- [Joe Barton is sitting across from McNamara in the latter's office]
- Joe Barton: How did they connect me with the Remzi killing?
- 'Mac' McNamara: [puts on his glasses and holds up a newspaper] According to the night porter at the hotel, an American, Barton, was the last person to see Ana Remzi alive. The American entered by the lobby, but the clerk swore he did not see him leave.
- Joe Barton: What's the setup in Ankara? Can you get the heat off?
- 'Mac' McNamara: No. The only way we could handle that would be through the American Embassy. And as you know, that's impossible. They can't acknowledge you. If they do, your usefulness as an agent is at an end. You're own your own.
- Joe Barton: [stands up] Okay.
