Nice ones, more of my favorites:

Harry: "Colin, tell me something uplifting"
Colin: "Well, August is set to be the driest month on record"
Harry: "Would you like to be taken out and shot?"

Ruth Evershed: "Shall I hit him again Adam?"
Adam Carter: "Only if you want to."

Adam Carter: [about planting a bug on a subject] "I have an idea, but it requires a woman who's ruthless, immoral, vicious and utterly lacking in human sympathy."
Zoe Reynolds: "Who?"
Adam Carter: "My wife."

Adam Carter: "It's not me asking - this is for your country."
Tash: "Oh yeah? What's the country ever done for me?"
Harry Pearce: "Educated you, provided you with opportunities to find employment, offered you financial assistance if you can't, looked after you when you were sick, ensured you were clothed, housed and fed, protected rather than persecuted you and allowed you to choose your own government. Actually, you're one of the luckier citizens of this planet."

^The last one is probably one of my top 5.

[Tranquility]

Harry always seems to come out with the best quotes

I like this one!

Some more of my favorites:

[Phone Rings]
Harry: "If this is not life threatening, then I hope your passport is up-to-date!"

Harry Pearce: "...and am I going to understand the next bit?"
Malcolm Wynn-Jones: "It was a low-power beam at 532 nanometers, a pulse of half a nanosecond."
Harry Pearce: "I say again..."

Harry Pearce: ...their main animosity is directed towards America. Consequently, our knowledge of their cadres and cell structures is quite sketchy.
Richard Boyd: Sketchy?... Sketchy as in non-existent?
Harry Pearce: No. Sketchy as in your knowledge of Al-qaeda when they were learning to fly and sunning themselves in Florida.

[Juliet Delta]

Zaf: Where's Jo?
Ros: Death by mascara. It was horrible to watch. Ruth's agonizing over the fact that there are no more horses in modern-day warfare and Adam's on a course learning how to lift his knuckles off the ground. So, you'll have to make do with me, I'm afraid.
Zaf: Shouldn't you be in prison or something?
Ros: This is the something.

Ros: You're in early.
Adam Carter: Yesterday I gave Iran the power to destroy the planet, so for some reason I found sleep a stranger.

[after Zaf refuses to tell her Ruth's location] ... it's all right, I don't need to know. I just hope she's well hidden, that's all, because there's going to be a full-scale with-hunt. Just hope she's got a broomstick.

Here are some of my favourites that haven't been mentioned yet.

[In response to Millington's comment]
Harry: (beat) "That silence was the sound of incredulous laughter being stifled."

Harry: "Thanks to the excellence of my grammar school education, I am in fact able to tell the time myself."

Harry: "Dear God, Ruth. Is any institution in this country safe from you?"
Ruth: "I like to think not."

Harry: "I've been up all night; my psychic powers are at a low ebb. Please elaborate."

Harry: "It seems we're going to have to grit our teeth and bear the presence of some cousins from Grosvenor Square, who will bring their usual arrogance and overbearing..." [the Americans walk in] "...willingness to share their expertise on this subject."

Harry: "...wrongs righted, evil-doers brought to heel, miracles performed. Is there no end to our goodness Ruth?"

HARRY: “I signed up here because I knew who the enemy was and I wanted to fight them. These days they don’t even have a flag. I preferred it when the bad guys had a flag.”
TOBY: “Least you knew where you were I suppose.”
HARRY: “Gave them something to put on the coffin.”


HARRY: “I presume you’ve called the cavalry?”
TESSA: “Anti Terror Unit and Special Branch should be there in six minutes.”
HARRY: “What are they getting, a tram?”


TESSA: “So we do nothing?”
HARRY: “Oh, we do something. We set up the meeting with McCann and we kill him.”
TESSA: “This isn’t Guatemala...!”
HARRY: “Let me rephrase for faint hearts. We bring about a curtailment to his continuing existence through a proxy.”


HARRY: “Part of the reason for all this trouble stems from the fact that most Americans believe anywhere East of the Hudson is like those blank spaces on medieval maps, where they drew in a monster and wrote ‘Here Be Dragons.’”
