Richard Hannay : Let's make ourselves comfortable. What about that skirt of yours? It's still pretty damp. I don't want to be tied to a pneumonia case on top of everything else. Take it off. I don't mind.
Pamela : I shall keep it on, thank you.
Richard Hannay : And that - is that.
Pamela : My shoes and stockings are soaked. I think I'll take them off.
Richard Hannay : That's the first sensible thing I've heard you say. Can I be of any assistance?

Richard Hannay : What did they say?

Richard Hannay : You - you.
Pamela : What?
Richard Hannay : Go on. Go on.
Pamela : Someone's going to warn them. How can you warn steps?

Pamela : Right to the funny bone. Now tell me another one.

Richard Hannay : We're going in there and you'll back me up on everything I say or do. Has that penetrated the ivory dome?
