Jenny Agutter: Tessa Phillips

Quotes 

• Tessa Phillips : The man lies as naturally as the rest of us breathe. Oh, what the hell.

  Harry Pearce : You don't get it, Tess.

  Tessa Phillips : Get what?

  Harry Pearce : It's not about whether Wilder's memoirs are telling the truth about Richard Maynard or even if they exist. It's about the damage the very idea of them can do. That's how scandal works.

  Tessa Phillips : Well, then he's way ahead. He's got us digging up prison gardens and fingering the prime minister's best friend.

  Harry Pearce : What do you suggest we do? Ignore the whole thing? We've got to check Maynard out.
