Peter Hilton
- Peter Hilton: You're not God, Alan. You don't get to decide who lives and who dies.
- Alan Turing: Yes, yes we do.
- Peter Hilton: Why? Why?
- Alan Turing: Because we're the only ones who can.
- Peter Hilton: All my friends, they're making a difference while we just wile away our days, producing nothing! Because of you.
- Alan Turing: My machine... will work.
- Alan Turing: You know why people like violence, Hugh? It's because it feels good. Sometimes we can't do what feels good; we have to do what is logical.
- John Cairncross: What's logical?
- Alan Turing: Hardest time to lie to someone is when they're expecting to be lied to.
- Joan Clarke: [Realizing] Oh, God.
- John Cairncross: What?
- Alan Turing: If someone's waiting for a lie, you can't just, uh, give them one.
- Joan Clarke: Damn it, Alan's right.
- Peter Hilton: What?
- Alan Turing: What would the Germans think if we destroy their U-Boats?
- Peter Hilton: Nothing, they'll be dead.
- John Cairncross: [Realizing] No... no, you can't be right.
- Alan Turing: So our convoy suddenly veers off course; a squadron of our air bombers miraculously descends on the coordinates of the U-Boats; what will the Germans *think*?
- Hugh Alexander: [Realizing] The Germans will know that we have broken Enigma.
- Joan Clarke: They'll stop all radio communications by midday, and they would change the design of Enigma by the weekend.
- Alan Turing: Yes. Two years work, everything that we've done here, will all be for nothing.
- John Cairncross: There are 500 civilians in that convoy. Women. Children. We're about to let them die.
- Alan Turing: Our job is not to save one passenger convoy; it is to win the war.
- Hugh Alexander: Our job was to crack Enigma.
- Alan Turing: Well, we've done that. Now for the hard part - keeping it a secret.
