- So what does that mean in little words?
- It means that if a rogue elephant, to use Saul Enderby’s happy phrase, charges at me out of the thicket of my past and gives me a second shot at it, I intend to shoot it dead - but with the minimum of force.

There is nothing funnier than an uncomfortable George (which is, lets face it, his default mode), sure can’t get comfy in the backseat of a tiny coupe.
Steady now, George
Michael Byrne,
I want to believe it was a night deposit box but I’m pretty sure George just chucked his rental car keys in the trash before hopping into the first train out of Lubeck
They stomped his boot lid into a more compact piece before stuffing it in his boot, the proceeded to annoy him for 30 minutes. I was sure if he was going to snap and run them over or not but he settle for jolting one of them off his car by suddenly breaking.
What a dingy murder boat, and that’s even before he found the bound and gagged body of Otto.
I’ve got good news for him, money, pinka pinka, all for Otto.
Pinka Pinka.
George again has been more active in the first minutes here than in the entirety of TTSS, so much driving this time around.
You remember the first rule of retirement, George? No moonlighting. No fooling with loose ends. No private enterprise ever. You remember who preaches this rule, at Sarratt, in the corridors? George Smiley did. Quote: “When it’s over, it’s over. Pull down the shutters. Go home.” Unquote. We’re over, George. We got no license. They don’t want us any more. Forget it.

This is exactly how I expected George Smiley would tackle an exclusive West German strip club.
