"Tom Wilkinson - Paul Emmett"

"I doubt it very much. The gate will open automatically. Be sure to make a right at the bottom of the drive. If you turn left, the road will take you deeper into the woods and you may never be seen again."

"[Speaking to mobile link after The Ghost has been deliberately vehicle rammed] This one looks nasty. Yeah, it's just happened just now. Yeah, if you could."

"[To Rycart on television] You cheeky fuck!"

"Perhaps I'll write my own memoirs. Ex-Prime Minister's Wife Tells All."

"[To The Ghost] Okay, a quiz for you. Name one decision Lang made in 10 years as Prime Minister which wasn't in the interests of the USA. Well, come on, it's not a trick question. Iraq, Middle East policy, Star Wars defense, buying American nuclear missiles, support of terrorist rendition. The sacking of any minister Washington didn't like, including yours truly. McAra was right. This explains everything."

"[To bodyguard] If we meet any terrorists, I'll text you."

"[Dictating to The Ghost] Turned me on, indeed. Let's see, I was 23, something like that, a couple of years out of Cambridge. And I remember it was a Sunday afternoon, it was raining. I was still in bed. And someone starts knocking at the door. And, you know, I'd been out the night before and had a few drinks and what have you. So, I get the pillow and I put it over my head, and it starts up again. Knock, knock, knock, knock! And I get up, I'm swearing, I go to the door and there's this girl. She's soaking wet, but she just launches into this speech about the local elections. And that's it. I'm in love."

"[On his head-of-state jet to The Ghost] Spare me the bleeding-heart bullshit! Do you know what I'd do if I was in power again?

And on the other flight we'd do everything we possibly could to make it perfectly safe. And then we'd see which plane the Rycarts of this world would put their bloody kids on! And you can put that in the book!"

"[To The Ghost] Hey! Remember... [Pats chest saying in English accent] Heart."
