Quotes
-
[after the tape is played revealing Haydon's treachery]
Toby Esterhase : Well, that's that. Congratulations, George.
Oliver Lacon : Next step, gentlemen?
George Smiley : Would you agree with me, Percy, that our best course of action is to make some positive use of Bill Haydon? We need to salvage what's left of the networks he's betrayed.
Percy Alleline : [weakly] Yes...
George Smiley : We sell Haydon to Moscow Centre for as many of our men in the field as can be saved - for humanitarian reasons. Professionally, of course, they're finished.
Percy Alleline : Quite.
George Smiley : Then the sooner you open negotiations with Karla, the better. Well, you're much better placed to talk terms than I am. Polyakov remains your direct link with Karla.
Oliver Lacon : The only difference is, this time you know it! It's definitely your job, Percy. You're still Chief, officially... for the moment.
Percy Alleline : Very well, George.
