Quotes 

• Alan Blunt : Alex, we lie to people to protect them. You shouldn't blame him.

  Alex Rider : I don't.

• Alan Blunt : Mrs Jones.

  Mrs. Jones : Yes?

  Alan Blunt : I know you don't approve but I do hope this isn't going to affect your judgement.

  Mrs. Jones : You think I'm being unprofessional? You've lost an agent. Nobody gets the better of Alan Blunt, but somebody just did. And your answer to that is to use a grieving boy as an asset? To say I don't agree doesn't even begin to cover it.

  Alan Blunt : I see.

  Mrs. Jones : No. I don't think you do.

  Alan Blunt : I want you to be Alex Rider's handler.

  Mrs. Jones : Agents have handlers. Not teenagers.

• Crawley : The reports states that the subject appears to have been trained to withstand interrogation.

  Alan Blunt : Perhaps he has.

  Smithers : It would appear Ian thought of everything.

  Mrs. Jones : [Entering the room]  Was I literally going to be the last person to know about this? You said, I was his handler.

  Alan Blunt : And you are.

  Mrs. Jones : Then don't ever go behind my back again with my agent.

  Alan Blunt : We needed to be sure.

  Mrs. Jones : And are you?

  Alan Blunt : This operation must remain entirely between the four of us. No traceable records.

• Alan Blunt : Now we know how you perform under pressure. I think you did very well.

  Alex Rider : I don't care what you think. I want to know who killed my uncle. And that's it, I don't ever want to see you again, that's the deal

  Alan Blunt : Sounds as if we both want the same things.

  Alex Rider : And if you threaten my friends again, I'll find a way to hurt you.

  Alan Blunt : Are we done?

• Alan Blunt : David. I was just reading. Did you see this? They're reviewing the honours system, so they'll be able to take back a knighthood if they discover you don't deserve it. What do you think of that?

  Sir David Friend : What do you want, Blunt?

• Mrs. Jones : Two deaths. Two teenagers. One School.

  Alex Rider : Well, you're the spies. Why can't you sort it out?

  Alan Blunt : Because the only people that can get into Point Blanc are troubled teenagers.

  Mrs. Jones : You take a look around. You don't take any risks and you report back anything you think could be relevant.

  Alex Rider : Relevant?

  Mrs. Jones : Yes. How they're treating the students. Are they using the normal curriculum? Is there any unusual behaviour? We can't tell you exactly what to look for because we don't know what's there. You'll have to use your initiative.

  Alex Rider : You said two deaths. It's three. My uncle died because of this.

  Alan Blunt : You're absolutely right, of course. We think Ian had made the connection and that somehow led to his death. What we don't yet know is how or why. But we are all very concerned to see whoever is responsible brought to account. As I believe are you.
