11 Can't you find the right one? -Well, the trouble is I've found the right two!

— Richard Hannay (Robert Montgomery)

— Richard Hannay (Robert Montgomery)

13 May I ask what earthquake caused your mind to work at last?

— Richard Hannay (Robert Montgomery)

14 Oh, I have a nail file in my pocket. Maybe that'll help. -That would be dandy. If you file twenty-four hours a day, ten years from now we might be free.

— Pamela Stuart (Ida Lupino), Richard Hannay (Robert Montgomery)

15 Ooh. Thirty or forty years. Do you think we could keep it up that long? I mean, really. -Well, we could try.

— Pamela Stuart (Ida Lupino)

16 Dear, dear. And you have such a nice face. How many people have you killed altogether? -9. And if you don't watch the point on that nail file, it may be 10! Ouch!

— Pamela Stuart (Ida Lupino), Richard Hannay (Robert Montgomery)

18 It seems to me there's only one way out. -And what's that? -I've a small revolver here. Pretty little thing, isn't it? Supposing I left you alone with this?
19 Well, what do you want, please? -Your hospitality, for a short while. -Really? Well I'm not interested. Now, will you please go? -I can't. It isn't safe.

— Richard Hannay (Robert Montgomery)

20 What's his name? -He has a dozen names, and he can look like a hundred people. But there's one thing he can't disguise. The top of the little finger on his right hand is missing.
