Tuppence Middleton Quotes

Debate on Agreement Among Colleagues

Hugh Alexander: So who do you agree with? Alan or myself?

Helen: Well, Alan, of course.

Alan Turing: [stammering; Joan kicks him under the table] I'm very flattered really, but I... I don't think that...

Hugh Alexander: Rubbish.

Helen: Well, I work beside a man every day, and I can't help but have developed a bit of a crush on him.

Hugh Alexander: Well, who is this man? So I can kick his arse.

Helen: Oh, there's no need to worry, it's been chaste. We've never even met. He's a German.

Hugh Alexander: Now I really want to kill him.

Alan Turing: Er... How... How do you mean you work alongside a German?

Helen: Well, each of us intercepts messages from a specific German radio tower. So we have a counterpart on the other side, who's tip-tapping out the messages. Everyone types a touch differently, so you get to know the rhythm of your counterpart. It's strangely intimate. I feel as if I know him so well. It's a pity he has a girlfriend, but that's why I disagree with you, Mr. Alexander, because I'm in love with a coworker of sorts and we've never even met.

Hugh Alexander: Well, allow me to buy you another pint and I'll tell you why you're wrong.

Helen: Let's.

Hugh Alexander: Excellent.

Joan Clarke: In case you were wondering, that's what flirting looks like.

Alan Turing: [loudly] HELEN!

Joan Clarke: [slightly embarrassed, as his shout has drawn attention to them] Alan!

Helen: Yes, Alan?

Alan Turing: [gets up and faces her] Why do you think your German counterpart has a girlfriend?

Helen: It's just a stupid joke. Don't worry about it.

Alan Turing: No, no, no, no, no, tell me.

Helen: Well, each of his messages begins with the same five letters. C-I-L-L-Y. So I suspect that Cilly must be the name of his amore.

Alan Turing: But that's impossible. The Germans are instructed to use five random letters at the start of every message.

Helen: Well, this bloke doesn't.

Hugh Alexander: Love will make a man do strange things, I suppose.

Alan Turing: In this case.... love just lost Germany the whole bloody war!
