- George Simpson: I must say, you took me by...
- Rollin Hand: - Surprise?
- George Simpson: Yes... .No... .Yes.
- Rollin Hand: Why?
- George Simpson: Well, I ...
- Rollin Hand: You were informed of my coming?
- George Simpson: Oh, yes, yes.
- Rollin Hand: Then?
- George Simpson: It came so soon though. And I was surprised that one of your reputation would be sent.
- Rollin Hand: Your accusations, if true, would warrant my presence.
- George Simpson: They're true.
- Rollin Hand: Then where is the proof?
- George Simpson: I don't have it. I mean, I have it, but not here. It's with another agent.
- Rollin Hand: Who?
- George Simpson: Willoughby. He's a very valuable, very reliable agent. I can vouch for him. He was the one who made the crosscheck of Townsend.
- Rollin Hand: Where is he now?
- George Simpson: Oh, not more than ten minutes away.
- Rollin Hand: Get him here.
- Rollin Hand: I do the testing.
- George Simpson: No, you've got the wrong idea. It never entered my mind.
- George Simpson: Simpson's Glassware.
- James Phelps: Yes, this is Kensington Ceramics. I believe our buyer, Mr. Gordon, is there. - I'd like to speak to him, please.
- George Simpson: Gordon?
- Rollin Hand: Gordon speaking.
- James Phelps: Problems?
- Rollin Hand: Yes.
- James Phelps: Stefan will be arriving any minute.
- Rollin Hand: Then I suggest we discontinue that line of merchandise here... . Well, your proof appears to be accurate. Of course, this is only a cursory examination.One of my agents just called and told me that your shop is under surveillance by the American Intelligence Agency.It appears that someone has defected somewhere. Your cover has been exposed.In a few moments, one of my associates will be here to pick you up and take you to a safe place. You will wait there for further instructions.Is that clear?
- George Simpson: I'm sure your investigation will show that my suspicions are correct.
- Rollin Hand: For your sake, I hope so.
- George Simpson: Yes, sir, may I help you?
- Rollin Hand: I understand you specialise in glass miniatures.
- George Simpson: What kind of miniatures were you interested in?
- Rollin Hand: Birds.
- George Simpson: Any special kind?
- Rollin Hand: Blue jays and swans.
- George Simpson: I'll be with you in a minute. This is quite an honour, sir. Please, won't you be seated?
- Walter Townsend: What's going on? This meeting is a breach of all of our security precautions.
- George Simpson: Sit down, Townsend, and listen. I'm going to tell you something which is going to make you very happy.
- Walter Townsend: What is it?
- George Simpson: I've been relieved. I'm going home. I know you'll be sorry to see me go. After all, we had such a harmonious working arrangement.
- Walter Townsend: When is the bon voyage?
- George Simpson: Tonight. That's why I had to see you.
- Walter Townsend: Well, I would've been hurt if you'd have gone without saying goodbye.
- George Simpson: Be happy about it. But one day, it'll be your turn. You'll be getting a new contact and new codes. They'll be put in a locker at the airport. Pick them up at 4:30 this afternoon. This is the key to the locker.
- Walter Townsend: Goodbye, Simpson.
- George Simpson: Goodbye, Townsend.
