Quotes from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) movie
George Smiley: We are not so very different, you and I. We've both spent our lives looking for the weaknesses in one another.
George Smiley: I need you to do something for me. You have to assume they're watching you...
Easterhase: Things aren't always what they seem.
George Smiley: Now is the time.
Oliver Lacon: There's a mole, right at the top of the Circus. And he's been there for years.
Bill Haydon: What the hell are you doing up here?
Irina: I know who you are.
Ricki Tarr: She had information concerning a double agent. What she told me was sensational...
Roy Bland: For twenty-five years we've been the only thing standing between Moscow and the Third World War!
Control: All I want from you is one codename: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier...
George Smiley: ...Spy.
Ricki Tarr: I needed to see you.
George Smiley: Why?
Control: We have a rotten apple, Jim.
George Smiley: What did you think of Control's theory?
Jim Prideaux: I thought it was madness!
Ricki Tarr: Mr Guillam, I'm sorry I was out for so long.
George Smiley: Ricki's been helping us, Peter! He's been telling us all about his adventures.
Peter Guillam: He's a double, George! There is no mole! Irina's been locked up by Moscow!
Peter Guillam: I stole that, because of you! I spied on my own, because of him! Do you know how that makes me feel?
Irina: I have something to trade. Something big.
Ricki Tarr: She told me she had a secret, the mother of all secrets...
Bill Haydon: It's become so ugly...
Control: I know that Moscow has planted a mole, and I know it is one of five men.
Control: Allenine: Tinker. Haydon: Tailor. Bland: Soldier. We leave out "Sailor", too much like "Tailor". Esterhase: Poorman.
Jim Prideaux: And the fifth?
Control: Smiley.
Connie Sachs: It was a good time back then.
George Smiley: It was a war, Connie.
Connie Sachs: A war we could be proud of.
George Smiley: I know who it is. It's Karla.
Control: It'll take us five hours to get drunk on this monkey's piss!
George Smiley: I want to talk about loyalty, Toby. Control recruited you, didn't he? He found you starving in a museum in Vienna, a wanted man. He saved your life, I heard. And yet, when the time came... when it came to picking sides between him and Allenine, you didn't hesitate. It's understandable, perhaps, with your war experience. You survived this long, I suppose, because of your ability to change sides, to serve any master.
Easterhase: What's... what's this about, George?
George Smiley: It's about which master you've been serving, Toby.
Bill Haydon: I thought I'd pop down and catch a glimpse at the new girl before Bland gets to her.
Peter Guillam: Ah, yes, Belinda the Blonde.
Peter Guillam: You got clearance for that?
Bill Haydon: Well, I'm not bloody chaining it up outside. Mind you, probably no better off in here with this bunch of bloody cut-throats, they'll have the gold out of your teeth!
Connie Sachs: I don't know about you George, but I'm feeling seriously under-f*cked!

Review
Incredibly well crafted, brilliantly suspensful thriller based on the book by John Le Carre. Containing many many fine performances; in particular the underated Gary Oldman, who no doubt will be Oscar nominated. Othe potentialr nominees I suspect could include; Colin Firth, John Hurt and possibly even Benedict Cumberbatch. Expertly directed and wonderfully put together and one of the rare selection of films which appreciates its audience. Highly recomended and a modern masterpiece of the 10's. No doubt will sweep the board in the 2012 BAFTAS and OSCARS. No doubt Alfredson has the Oscar in the bag! See it now. - SarahG1988.
