Quotes
-
Adam Carter : Ruth, I uh, I need some research done on one of the people involved.
Ruth Evershed : Zuli?
Adam Carter : Uh, no, he's being covered, and Zoe and Danny will be on the hit man. No, I want you to, uh, check out our friend, the bookseller, Harakat. I sometimes think it's useful to look at an operation from a less obvious viewpoint. You know, cover all the bases. Harry tells me you're the soul of discretion.
Ruth Evershed : Did he? Well, yeah, I try.
Adam Carter : Good, thought so.
[He starts walking away]
Ruth Evershed : Oh, and Tom!
[Adam stops and returns to Ruth's station. Ruth realizes she's misspoken]
Ruth Evershed : Sorry. Um. God, so sorry, Adam, uh, I assume that means that you don't want me to distribute my research to the rest of the office as normal?
Adam Carter : That's right, Ruth. I'd also prefer it if it came to me, Adam, rather than Tom.
Ruth Evershed : Yes, yes, of course, Adam, Adam.
