Ros quotes from Spooks

Zaf

Where's Jo?

Ros

Death by mascara... it was horrible to watch. Ruth's agonizing over the fact that there are no more horses in modern-day warfare and Adam's on a course learning how to lift his knuckles off the ground, so... you'll have to make do with me I'm afraid.

Zaf

Shouldn't you be in prison or something?

Ros

This is the something. You okay?

Zaf

My cover's still intact.

Ros

No, I meant-

Zaf

I'm fine. Hanif was talking about a bomb.

Ros

It's going to be taken out of the game without them noticing. We've been given a lease of life to turn our recruit.

Zaf

We?

Ros

You and I are now the shock troops of waterfall. Admittedly I get to go home at night. How is life in the flat?

Zaf

Claustrophobic, irritable, jumpy. Every noise outside is a possible raid.

Ros

Group dynamics?

Zaf

Samir's getting more envious of Michael since he became Hanif's right-hand man. I'm busy stoking the flames of discord.

Ros

Okay, let's talk about sex.

Zaf

Oh, yeah, hang on... Sorry it's just that it's been so long.

Ros

We can use it to turn Michael Johnson.

Zaf

You really think I'm his type?

Ros

Religion, the opium of the masses.

Zaf

Really? I thought that was football.

Ros

Yeah, except for ooh-ah cantona wasn't his last message to the world.

Ros

How's the nervous system?

Lucas

Twitchy. This is a mistake.

Harry

[Ros and Harry thinking Lucas is a Russian spy] I'm glad you didn't waste those years trying to memorize convincing excuses.

Ros

Maybe Kachimov should add that to his curriculum.

Lucas

We should be following Elizabeta.

Ros

We are following Elizabeta.

Harry

Come on, Lucas. Impress me with your ability to talk your way out of this.

Lucas

I agreed to be Kachimov's agent in London. Of course I did. But just to get back. To come home. God knows I couldn't rely on you to do it for me.

Ros

And you failed to mention this earlier. Why?

Lucas

[to Harry] I told you in the car.

Harry

You joked about it in the car.

Lucas

You suspected it. You as good as told me. If I admitted it officially, you'd lock me in a call and debrief me for months. I've seen enough cells.
