Quotes 

• Claudia : You smoke too much.

  Elizabeth Jennings : So I've been told.

• [last lines] 

  Elizabeth Jennings : Can you get him a message for me?

  Philip Jennings : Yes.

  Elizabeth Jennings : Tell him that what he's woried about is happening. The leaders at the Centre are trying to get rid of Gorbachev. Claudia just told me. They want me to kill that negotiator that I was worried about, Fyodor Nesterenko. But he's not bad. I've been watching him. They want to falsify my reports, make it seem like he's trading away a highly classified military system to the U.S. But he's not. Our people are working with the military, like that general I met with in Mexico, Kovtun. They want to get this done so that Gorbachev doesn't even come back from Summit. Can you relay that message for me?

  Philip Jennings : He checks the signal site late morning. He'll have it by 2:00, 3:00 o'clock.

  Elizabeth Jennings : I have to go back out. They might still go after this guy.

  Philip Jennings : Do you need my help?

  Elizabeth Jennings : No.

  Philip Jennings : Wait. This came in while you were out. Father Andrei.

  Elizabeth Jennings : [reading the memo]  I can't. You meet him. Maybe he'll give you absolution.

• Glenn Haskard : Why isn't she dying?

  Elizabeth Jennings : Her system's built up a tolerance.

  Glenn Haskard : I waited too long. I knew I waited too long. So selfish. I had to go to my goddamn meetings. She said so. She was hurting so much, she actually said that to me. And she was right. I called my office, said I'm done. I can't come in anymore. And I... I gave it to her. Now this.

  Elizabeth Jennings : Glenn, it's going to be all right. Say good-bye to her now.

  [pause] 

  Elizabeth Jennings : Say good-bye, then leave.
