- Home Secretary: The Prime Minister is minded to make Juliet the new national security coordinator. Do you have a view on that?
- Harry Pearce: She's a ruthless, untrustworthy, right-wing crazy who will stop at nothing.
- Home Secretary: I got that impression... rather a terrifying stare, also.
- Harry Pearce: Mmm, that can be quite useful sometimes.
- Adam Carter: It's not me asking - this is for your country.
- Tash: Oh yeah? What's the country ever done for me?
- Harry Pearce: Educated you, provided you with opportunities to find employment, offered you financial assistance if you can't, looked after you when you were sick, ensured you were clothed, housed and fed, protected rather than persecuted you and allowed you to choose your own government. Actually, you're one of the luckier citizens of this planet.
- Harry Pearce: ...we could make things more comfortable for you.
- Forster: I'm not interested in comfort.
- Juliet Shaw: I don't think you've experienced real *discomfort* yet.
