Sir David Friend : Alex, this is Eva Stellenbosch. Aren't you going to stand up?
Alex Rider : [scoffs] Is this your idea of a joke? Are we really going through with this?
Sir David Friend : A little respect, please Alex.
Eva Stellenbosch : That's quite alright.
Sir David Friend : Do sit down, Miss Stellenbosch.
Eva Stellenbosch : Transition moments like these can be hard to cope with.
Alex Rider : Well shall we get this over with? They don't want me here and I don't wanna be here. But I don't need some pathetic military academy where you have to salute the teachers.
Eva Stellenbosch : Your parents think you do.
Alex Rider : My parents are idiots.
Eva Stellenbosch : Such a lack of respect. When did you get to be so angry, Alex?
Alex Rider : When you walked in the room?
Eva Stellenbosch : Hmm, no. No, I think it was a long time before that.
Alex Rider : Maybe I've been angry all my life.
Eva Stellenbosch : That's right. And we at Point Blanc can help you take that anger and channel it. We can help you use it. I think it's true to say, you don't really like school.
Alex Rider : Schools don't really like me.
Eva Stellenbosch : So nothing is ever your fault. Why are you lying to me, Alex?
Alex Rider : I'm not lying.
Eva Stellenbosch : Oh yes you are. You think I can't see right through you. You think I can't tell when someone is pretending to be something they're obviously not.
Alex Rider : I don't know what you're talking about.
Eva Stellenbosch : You are not brave. You are not clever. You hardly even know your own parents. And they hardly know you. You live together but you are strangers to each other.
Alex Rider : They don't understand me, if that's what you mean.
Eva Stellenbosch : Exactly. And you will be much happier away from them at Point Blanc.

Sir David Friend : You must be Alex Rider. Why don't you come in?
[They enter the house]
Sir David Friend : . My wife, Caroline.
Alex Rider : Hi.
Sir David Friend : Before you leave Mrs Jones, I take it you are going to be on your way, I want to make one thing clear. This is the last time. Tell Alan Blunt from me. What he is doing, recruiting a child, it's not just irresponsible...
Lady Caroline Friend : It's illegal.
Mrs. Jones : Well, that's something you both know plenty about.
Sir David Friend : This settles the debts, finally.
Mrs. Jones : Yes. I'll pass the message on.

Sir David Friend : Money is just money. You think rich people are different to you? Really, they're just the same.
Alex Rider : How many houses do you have?
Sir David Friend : Not sure.
Alex Rider : Not quite the same then.
-
Sir David Friend : There's something I need to say. You can't trust Alan Blunt. No matter what he says or seem to do, the truth is, he will always be using you.
Alex Rider : You don't need to tell me that. Pull
[Fires perfect shot and hits clay pigeon]
Alex Rider : . So, what's next?
