Colonel Stok:
I wish to defect, but there are conditions. Harry Palmer:
What do you want? Colonel Stok:
I want colonel's pay for life. Harry Palmer:
Don't we all. Colonel Stok:
A house in the country. Harry Palmer:
Oh, how many Bedrooms? Colonel Stok:
Bedrooms do not matter. But I must have a big garden. I am a peasant at heart, and I want to grow roses in my old age. Harry Palmer:
In England, roses are out - weeds are in. Is that all? Colonel Stok:
That is all. I want comfort and security. Harry Palmer:
You've got all that in Russia now. Colonel Stok:
Aah, in Russia there is no place for an old Bolshevik. In my job I have made too many enemies. Harry Palmer:
Well, what about your family? Colonel Stok:
My wife died in a German air raid in 1941; my only son hasn't written to me in three years. What would you do in my position? Harry Palmer:
I'd stop telling lies, for a start. You have no son, and your wife is in Kiev with your daughter Katya. I know everything about you, Colonel Stok... from the size of your refrigerator to the cubic capacity of your mistress
