- Alexander Marek: Mr Stonehouse, you came here as an *official* representative of your country. I hope you found the "hospitality" to your liking. Now, we would like to invite you to become an *unofficial* representative of *our* country, in Great Britain.
- John Stonehouse: [incredulous] You want me to spy for you?
- Alexander Marek: Sadly, you and I find ourselves on opposite sides of an ideological divide. The "Iron Curtain", if you will. But ultimately we are both working for the same cause: the good of humanity. Isn't that right? So, all we want is for you to pass on any information that comes your way; information you will give me when the two of us meet in London. Thereby fostering closer ties between our two great nations.
- John Stonehouse: Would I be paid?
