Danny Wilde
- Chivers: You might want to try for a pheasant, m'lord. I'll get the guns.
- Lord Brett Sinclair: Thank you, Chivers. A good idea.
- Danny Wilde: You still shoot peasants around here, huh?
- Joe Pfeiffer: [the CIA recruits Danny to work against Brett in trapping a master spy] Mr. Wilde, let me ask you something. How well do you know Lord Sinclair?
- Danny Wilde: I know him pretty good. Is he involved in this?
- Joe Pfeiffer: He's been recruited by the British.
- Danny Wilde: To do the same thing you're asking me to do?
- Joe Pfeiffer: That's right.
- Danny Wilde: You mean we'd be pitted up against each other?
- Joe Pfeiffer: That's right.
- Danny Wilde: He's my best friend! I mean... I'll do it.
- Danny Wilde: [Chivers, Brett's butler, a former cracksman, pulls a toothpick from his black bag] Excuse me, you don't plan to open the door with the toothpick, do you?
- Chivers: No, sir. I indulged in a rather stringy beef sandwich on the journey.
- Danny Wilde: You know what really riles me? The fact that we could be outsmarted by a dumb-dumb like Felix. What does he think? He must think he's in some kind of a spy movie, that's what!
- Lord Brett Sinclair: "The Spy Who Came In from the Cold." That was a good film. Robert Burton.
- Danny Wilde: Benson.
- Lord Brett Sinclair: No - *Richard* Burton!
- Danny Wilde: No - Benson!
- Lord Brett Sinclair: Who's Benson?
- Danny Wilde: That's the name of the guy I spoke on the phone with last night. He thought I was Felix! And he mentioned something about contracts.
- Danny Wilde: Ergo, Benson is the publisher.
- Danny Wilde: Right, go ahead.
- Lord Brett Sinclair: And there are only about three hundred publishers in London.
- Danny Wilde: Yeah, but how many of them have private printing presses in Switzerland? Now they're incorporated over there, they've got a branch office here, and that's how they get around the Official Secrets Act!
- Lord Brett Sinclair: I like it.
- Danny Wilde: Well, I don't!
- Lord Brett Sinclair: Well, I do! It's positive thinking! Well, it is going to take a little time tracking down the publisher.
- Danny Wilde: There's, uh, there's a flaw.
- Lord Brett Sinclair: Oh, what's that?
- Danny Wilde: I mean, he's not just gonna hand us over the manuscript, right? We're gonna have to break in and steal it!
- Lord Brett Sinclair: We're not very good at that.
- Danny Wilde: Uh, we're *lousy* at that.
