I See a Dark Stranger (1946)

Raymond Huntley: J. Miller

Quotes 

• J. Miller : You should visit England one day. You may change your mind.

  Bridie Quilty : There's no need. I've an aunt there who has told me all about it. She says the upper classes are cringing and always moaning about their troubles, and the lower classes are arrogant and think they own the Earth.

  J. Miller : I thought it was the other way round.

  Bridie Quilty : My aunt runs a servants' registry office.

  J. Miller : Ah!

  Bridie Quilty : There's no "ah" about it. She hates the whole lot of them, and so do I. My father fought for Ireland against the English in 1916, and if I ever get the chance I shall do the same.

  J. Miller : For a subject of a neutral country, aren't you being a little belligerent?

  Bridie Quilty : There's nothing belligerent about it. It's entirely a question of which side I'm neutral on.

• Man in Bookshop : You've got your papers for England, I take it?

  J. Miller : Yes, I've an Argentine passport. I'm going to Britain to buy bulls, apparently. I could have thought of happier excuses; I don't like bulls.

  Man in Bookshop : Bulls will be the easiest part of your business. Did you ever meet Oscar Pryce?

  J. Miller : Yes, in Leipzig last autumn.

  Man in Bookshop : Did you know that he was in England?

  J. Miller : No.

  Man in Bookshop : At the moment he's awaiting trial in an military prison, at a place called Wynbridge Vale, in the West Country.

  J. Miller : Bad luck. Well?

  Man in Bookshop : Pryce has vital information. We have to know what it is.

  J. Miller : How?

  Man in Bookshop : You must get him out of their prison.

  J. Miller : I see what you mean about the bulls.
