## Lorraine Broughton

* [to Bremovych as he dies] Did you really think I was going to give you that list?... Before you die, I want you to get this through that thick, primitive skull. I never worked for you. You worked for me... Every false intel I gave you, a rip in the iron curtain. Every piece of intel you gave me, a bullet in my fucking gun. I want my life back.
* You know those movies where the picture just starts to slow down... and melt? Then catch fire? Well, that's Berlin.

## David Percival

* You can't un-fuck what's been fucked. You know, a beautiful Italian girl once said to me, "David, you can't unfuck what's been fucked." Women are always getting in the way of progress, aren't they?
* So, what have I learned after all this time? After all the sleepless nights, lying to friends, lovers, myself? Playing this crooked game in this crooked town filled with backstabbers and four-faced liars? I'll tell you what I've learned. One thing and one thing only. I fucking love Berlin!
* Ironic. The news will tell them there will be no more secrets. But you and I, we both know that's not true. This world is run on secrets.

## Dialogue

    Chief 'C': I'm putting you on leave, effective immediately. We'll start the next decade well rested.
    Lorraine Broughton: C? What should I wear... for my tea with the queen?
    David Percival: Let me help you with your bags.
    [opens the trunk of the upside down car with luggage falling out]
    Lorraine Broughton: Fucks sake!
    David Percival: [dragging a henchman] Russians are fucking heavy...
    Lorraine Broughton: Five minutes on the ground, and I'm already made.
    David Percival: You're not made.
    [throws Russian into his car]
    Lorraine Broughton: They knew my name.
    David Percival: That's troubling.
    Lorraine Broughton: ...and yours.
    David Percival: Probably surprising.
    Lorraine Broughton: [punches waking Russian in the face] Great fucking start, Percival...
    Lorraine Broughton: I've read your file. I've also read your dog file. So let's cut the crap, shall we? This whole hungover, show-up-late, don't-know-which-way-is-up act, I'm not buying it. I trust you about as far as I can throw you.
    David Percival: "It's a double pleasure to deceive the deceiver."
    Lorraine Broughton: Niccolo Machiavelli. It was on your shelf.
    David Percival: Oh my God, I think I fucking love you!
    Lorraine Broughton: That's too bad.
    Delphine Lasalle: When you tell the truth, you look different. Your eyes change.
    Lorraine Broughton: Thanks for the warning.
    Lorraine Broughton: You've got some balls breaking in here.
    David Percival: You should see my balls. Then you'd be really impressed!
    Lorraine Broughton: Where the fuck are you?
    David Percival: Don't shoot, I've got your shoe!
    James Gascoine: You know, I always thought if I was caught it would be by one of the best. But you're not the best, are you Bakhtin? You're the biggest fucking cunt in the KGB.
    Yuri Bakhtin: Sticks and stones, Jimmy.
    Coroner: I will not release this body without the correct information.
    Lorraine Broughton: It's a simple mistake.
    Coroner: Miss Lloyd, in Germany, we don't make simple mistakes.
    Lorraine Broughton: You went to the KGB to take me out. You were too fucking scared to do it yourself.
    David Percival: Too smart, more like.
    Lorraine Broughton: Are you going to lie till the very end?
    David Percival: [laughing, gulps, gasps] Truth and lies. People like us don't know the difference.
    Lorraine Broughton: No, we know the difference, David. We choose to ignore it.
    Emmett Kurzfeld: Let's go home.
    Lorraine Broughton: That sounds good.
    Emmett Kurzfeld: "Cocksucker?" Really?
    Lorraine Broughton: [chuckles] I'm glad it was convincing.
