  Peter Guillam : In that case, Toby, I'll try and keep my mouth ultra, ultra-shut.

• Toby Esterhase : I do like the Service, George, I may be sentimental about it. But I prefer to stay in it.

• Toby Esterhase : My problem is promotion. I mean the absence of it. I have so many years' senority that I feel actually quite embarrassed when these young fellows ask me to take orders from them.

  George Smiley : Who, Toby? Which young fellows? Roy Bland? Percy? Would you call Percy young? Who?

  Toby Esterhase : When you're overdue for promotion and working your fingers to the bone, anyone looks young who's above you on the ladder.

  George Smiley : Perhaps Control could move you up a few rungs...

  Toby Esterhase : Actually, George, I am not too sure he is able to.

• George Smiley : Let me be blunt...

  Toby Esterhase : Not YOUR style, George.
