- Anthony Blunt: Everyone has to believe we have changed. Complete burying of the past.
- [motions towards Guy Burgess' lover Julian Bell]
- Anthony Blunt: Everyone, Guy.
- Prince of Wales: Burgess. Friend of Blunt's aren't you?
- Guy Burgess: Yes,
- Prince of Wales: We're related. Him. Us.
- Guy Burgess: So I believe, Sir.
- Prince of Wales: Pictures man.
- Guy Burgess: Pardon?
- Prince of Wales: Pictures. Blunt. Art. We could do with a bit of help on the art front at Windsor. Send regards, will you? And tell him to see us.
- Prince of Wales: [leaves the room]
- Guy Burgess: [to Philby] Me. You. Us. Go. Let's.
- Julian Bell: Funny, people keep talking about the dark clouds gathering over Europe. Clouds. Clouds! It's already raining! Why doesn't anyone see it's already bloody raining?
- Otto: It's a good idea. I will get Moscow to suggest it themselves, and then it will be an even better idea.
- Kim Philby: We're at war with Germany. Hitler and Stalin are technically allies, which means our position is different. We used to be simple traitors. Now we're traitors in war time, which means if we're caught it's a different game. We can be executed.
- Anthony Blunt: You're worried about Guy and Donald?
- Kim Philby: We stand or fall all together. If one of us goes, we all go.
- Donald Maclean: What would you say if I were to tell you I was a Soviet agent? Because I am.
- Woman at Bar: You can be whatever you want mister, and I can be a nurse or a nanny or whatever you're pining for. It's all the same to me. Ten shillings will buy you a good time. My place is just around the corner. Are you coming?
- Lord Raveley: Burgess. Knew your father, fine man. Now what do you want to see me about?
- Guy Burgess: Hitler, and how much you admire him. I want to be part of the admiration society. I gather there is quite a crowd.
- Lord Raveley: Room for more there.
- Kim Philby: Guy! Guy, our instructions are to avoid behaviour as though we are rabid Nazis. Too much noise is suspicious.
- Guy Burgess: The Anglo-German Fellowship is discreet, diplomatic, careful, profoundly English
- Guy Burgess: I hear Hitler has views on the Jewish temperament. Views that can't be ignored.
- Sir Michael Boal: That is true, and his views must be respected.
- Guy Burgess: Tolerated or respected?
- Sir Michael Boal: Respected.
- Guy Burgess: The Jew is dangerous, corrupt and impure.
- Sir Michael Boal: *That* is an opinion I respect. It's an opinion, I think, we can all respect.
- Prince of Wales: Good breeding is... vital... to the health of any nation.
- Kim Philby: Stalin is buying time. Stalin cares about one thing: Russia. What anyone else might feel about the principle of signing a treaty with Hitler is irrelevant.
- Guy Burgess: Irrelevant! It's like the pope making friends with the devil because he knows the devil's got bigger bollocks.
