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.

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.
