- Danny Hunter: Me? Undercover in a bank?
- Harry Pearce: You have a history of swindling credit cards. I would have thought that makes you perfect for the job.
- Malcolm Wynn-Jones: Ah, Zoe, you have delivered me shredding. Delicious.
- Zoe Reynolds: [on mobile] How long will it take?
- Malcolm Wynn-Jones: An artist cannot be hurried.
- Tom Quinn: Ruth, what just happened?
- Ruth Evershed: Danny just made 50 grand. Or he would've if we'd been really trading.
- Tom Quinn: How do you know all about this stuff?
- Ruth Evershed: I was in love with a big swinging dick. That's slang for trader.
- Tom Quinn: How's Danny measuring up?
- Ruth Evershed: Oh, he's a huge talent.
- Tom Quinn: I was afraid of that.

- Kay Burley: [in a Sky News television report] Today in Moscow, President Bush and President Putin met for their long-awaited economic summit. It was announced that $20 billion of aid to the Russian Federation has been granted by the International Monetary Fund. Our correspondent, Geoff Meade, is in Moscow for us. Geoff, $20 billion, a huge amount of money?
- Geoff Meade: Kay, this is a massive vote of confidence in the Russian Federation and it's very much down to the pressure from President Bush that this aid has been given.

- Harry Pearce: [to Dickie] You did a great service to the country. You confronted a most dangerous man and did so with great courage. We have recovered this. We believe it belongs to you.
- Ruth Evershed: MI-5 is a government department. I only told Downing Street what you were doing. The government can't betray itself to itself, can it?
- Tom Quinn: Don't be naive, Ruth. You know exactly what's going on here. GCHQ planted you on us.
- Ruth Evershed: Tom, I so much wanted to join MI-5. To be a real spy. They said I could have the transfer if, very occasionally, I reported what you were doing. I mean, this is the first time I've done it.
- Tom Quinn: Reported directly to Amanda Roke?
- [Ruth nods]
- Tom Quinn: Well, now you're a classic double agent. How does real spying feel?
- Ruth Evershed: The horrible thing is, it's rather exciting.
