Colonel Stok:
I wish to defect, but there are conditions.
Harry Palmer:
What do you want?
Colonel Stok:
I want colonel's pay for life.
Harry Palmer:
Don't we all.
Colonel Stok:
A house in the country.
Harry Palmer:
Oh, how many bedrooms?
Colonel Stok:
Bedrooms do not matter. But I must have a big garden. I am a peasant at heart, and I want to grow roses in my old age.
Harry Palmer:
In England, roses are out - weeds are in. Is that all?
Colonel Stok:
That is all. I want comfort and security.
Harry Palmer:
You've got all that in Russia now.
Colonel Stok:
Aah, in Russia there is no place for an old Bolshevik. In my job I have made too many enemies.
Harry Palmer:
Well, what about your family?
Colonel Stok:
My wife died in a German air raid in 1941; my only son hasn't written to me in three years. What would you do in my position?
Harry Palmer:
I'd stop telling lies, for a start. You have no son, and your wife is in Kiev with your daughter Katya. I know everything about you, Colonel Stok... from the size of your refrigerator to the cubic capacity of your mistress.
