Ulysses Diello
- Ulysses Diello: So many more people go into German embassies than come out. I've often wondered what attraction could keep them there so long.
- Ulysses Diello: [to Moyzisch] ... and please don't have me followed. You Germans have no talent for it. You keep wanting to get ahead of the people you follow.
- Countess Anna Staviska: Unfortunately, I have a dinner engagement. But he's an undersecretary and used to waiting.
- Ulysses Diello: Any particular undersecretary, madam?
- Countess Anna Staviska: Undersecretaries are never particular. Perhaps that's why they take me to dinner.
- Ulysses Diello: It's far more likely that in madam's presence they feel like ambassadors.
- L. C. Moyzisch: We would prefer that you come to the German consul at the same hour if you like.
- Ulysses Diello: No, thank you, although I'm tempted. So many more people go into German consulates than come out. I've often wondered what possible attraction would keep them there so long.
- Ulysses Diello: [to Moyzisch] Spies are notoriously poor businessmen. Most of them are professional patriots, frustrated liberals or victims of blackmail. And in all such cases the emotional involvement weakens their bargaining position and destroys sound business judgements.
- Colin Travers: [to Diello] You're the most cold-blooded thief, traitor and criminal I've seen in a lifetime of looking at human trash.
- Ulysses Diello: What a pity. I rather hoped I'd look like a gentlemen.
- Countess Anna Staviska: Do you have a nationality, Diello?
- Ulysses Diello: Most people are born somewhere.
- Countess Anna Staviska: You're not a native Englishman. What are you?
- Ulysses Diello: Albanian... English by adoption.
- Countess Anna Staviska: You're the only Albanian I've ever known.
- Ulysses Diello: You know one, you know them all.
