Quotes:

Snare: [seeing Charlie cleaning his leather-stained feet] What the hell do you think you're doing?::Charlie Muffin: Washing my feet.::Snare: Very biblical. Can you do miracles too?::Charlie Muffin: Yes. I can come back from the dead out of burning Volkswagens.

Charlie Muffin: The old sod owes me an apology.::Janet: Sir Henry Cuthbertson, Bart.? No way. I know him, Charlie; he was my godfather long before he was your boss. He's a bastard.::Charlie Muffin: So am I. Funny thing is that none of them realize it.

Sir Archibald Willoughby: Well, I won't say be careful, Charlie; no damn sense in that. But remember the first rule.::Charlie Muffin: Always secure an escape route.

Valery Kalenin: [to Cuthbertson] You really were incredibly stupid, Sir Henry. Charlie Muffin was one of the few real operatives in your service; his capture of Berenkov was brilliant. Yet you set him up to be shot in Berlin, you vilify him when he comes home unscathed, you demote him. [smiles] How can you expect loyalty when you treat a man like that?

Sir Archibald Willoughby: World keeping you busy, Charlie?::Charlie Muffin: Well, I think I shall be busy soon enough, sir, yes.::Sir Archibald Willoughby: Oh, I say, I hope to God he wasn't briefing you in here! Even panelled walls have ears, you know.

Charlie Muffin: [referring to CIA Agent Braley] I want him there, and always within ten yards.::Braley: Ten yards?::Charlie Muffin: You see, at that range I'm classified as an expert shot.

Cuthbertson: [to Ruttgers] It's a pity we have to entrust the completion of this mission to two frightened men.::Charlie Muffin: [looking right at both Directors] Better two frightened men than two psychopaths.

Valery Kalenin: [referring to Harrison's death] Why do people always run?::Charlie Muffin: Lack of experience.

Cuthbertson: [talking about Charlie's affair with Cuthbertson's secretary/goddaughter Janet] Rutting was always the favorite pastime of the working class.
