Flushing Out the Mole (1979)

Ian Bannen: Jim Prideaux

Quotes 

• Jim Prideaux : Don't look around, Bill.

  Bill Haydon : Oh, it's you, Jim. Come to say goodbye? Nice of you. I'm glad to see you haven't lost your touch. Must be in pretty good shape.

  Jim Prideaux : Why did you get me back?

  Bill Haydon : I couldn't leave you rotting in a Czech prison.

  Jim Prideaux : Russian. Why didn't Karla finish me off? Was that out of delicacy to you?

  [Haydon says nothing] 

  Jim Prideaux : Wasn't that, was it? You both thought that a corpse might create a lot more fuss than just another repatriated harmless cripple, didn't you?

  Bill Haydon : The shooting wasn't part of the plan, Jim!

  Jim Prideaux : No, not the shooting... but everything else.

  [Jim breaks Haydon's neck]
