- Bill Fenner: Where are you from?
- Claire Connor: Detroit.
- Bill Fenner: That's right next to my hometown.
- Claire Connor: Where's that?
- Bill Fenner: San Francisco.
- Bill Fenner: Why me? You've got 11 good men in this office you could send in there.
- Mr. Pennyman: You're the one I can spare.
- Bill Fenner: Tell me what you believe in - now.
- Sandra Fane: [naked in bed] New beginning. A new life.
- Bill Fenner: What about the old life?
- Sandra Fane: It's all over.
- Bill Fenner: Why?
- Sandra Fane: Fear. If you'd only stop fearing. That would be enough.
- Frank Rosenfeld: A week ago, when peaceful coexistence among our countries seemed a possibility, a violent act was perpetrated by factions in Peking, dedicated to uncompromising ideologies.
- Frank Rosenfeld: I'm sorry about her. It's a stinkin' business. But the job had to get done.
- Bill Fenner: Go to hell, Rosie.
- Frank Rosenfeld: [talking to his men about Fenner] Remember his face. If it gets in your way, step on it.
- Sandra Fane: If you ever loved me, believe me and listen to me now. Don't die for a piece of paper. Don't let him kill you for that.
- [tearful]
- Sandra Fane: I love you. And I've always loved you.
- Mr. Pennyman: You know what happened in Venice today? I want you to go there right away.
- [Fenner strolls over to Pennyman's liquor cabinet, pours glass and takes a drink]
- Mr. Pennyman: Have a drink.
- Bill Fenner: Thank you.
- [pours another glass and takes another drink]
- Bill Fenner: Why?
- Mr. Pennyman: Talk to some people. Take some pictures. This is a Wire Service, isn't it?
- Mr. Pennyman: I've been calling you every 30 minutes for the past six hours. Are you sober? Well?
- Bill Fenner: Yeah.
- Mike Ballard: We cannot stick our noses into something like this. We can't do it.
- Bill Fenner: Rosie can.
- Dr. Pierre Vaugiroud: Oh, you are concerned with the position of your country in this affair.
- Bill Fenner: What is the position of my country in this affair?
- Dr. Pierre Vaugiroud: Perilous.
- Frank Rosenfeld: Do you have any idea what that information is?
- Bill Fenner: No.
- Frank Rosenfeld: Then, I'll have to ask your wife.
- Bill Fenner: I don't have a wife.
- Frank Rosenfeld: The one you used to have.
- Frank Rosenfeld: You want her killed? I didn't think so. But, some of her playmates are trying to do just that.
- Bill Fenner: You bastard.
- Bill Fenner: You're a long way from home.
- Claire Connor: "The world, which seems, To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new...
- Bill Fenner: "Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace...
- Bill Fenner, Claire Connor: "Nor help for pain."
- [Bill leans down to kiss Claire]
- Frank Rosenfeld: [watching a surveillance film of Prentiss admiring Sandra Fane in a bikini] He liked her work - her art work.
- Claire Connor: He could get killed being your decoy, couldn't he?
- Frank Rosenfeld: Yeah.
- Claire Connor: Do you like using people that way?
- [Rosie leaves without responding]
- Frank Rosenfeld: People with information are what I want. Sandra Fane's got it. She's smart enough to come to you for help. She knows she'll get it. We know you'll give it. That's why you're here. That's what we're counting on.
- Bill Fenner: You haven't changed have you.
- Frank Rosenfeld: I don't intend to! I've got a job to do. It's going to get done.
- Frank Rosenfeld: [watching a surveillance film] Sandra Fane had known him for about a month when this was taken.
- Bill Fenner: How did she meet him? Walk up to him one day and say, "I'm a Communist agent and I'm interested in what you're doing"?
- Frank Rosenfeld: She managed - at an art gallery.
- Bill Fenner: Wahl? Whose Wahl? What does he do?
- Sandra Fane: Robert Wahl. He - he buys and sells power.
- Frank Rosenfeld: He won't talk fast and he won't talk easy and I still need information. Any ideas on her?
- Bill Fenner: Maybe.
- Frank Rosenfeld: What does that mean? I just told you I need information.
- Bill Fenner: It means you'll hear from me, Rosie.
- Robert Wahl: An old man is very easy to control. But, you, Mr. Fenner, you are something of a different problem.
