Aidan quotes from Argylle (2024)

Aidan

So when you feel that fear remember; to focus on the only thing that's real. What's right in front of you.

Aidan

Whoa! There's a cat in there.

Aidan

I love this book!

Aidan

What you wrote in your new book actually happened, and you kicked a hornet's nest you didn't even know existed.

Aidan

God, I hate that cat.

Aidan

Had to bring the cat.

Elly

What did you expect me to do, leave him to fend for himself? Come on!

Aidan

He's be fine. Cat ladies always die alone and cats figure it out.

Elly

I am not a cat lady. I'm not. And what's your problem with my cat exactly? He's really cute. He's cuddly and loyal.

Aidan

Oh, please. You suddenly drop dead, that cat's chewing your ears off within forty-eight hours max.

Elly

Which with you around, gets more likely by the minute.

Elly

No one's home? What should we do?

Aidan

Well, I am a spy after all. [Starts picking door lock and they enter the apartment to find completely bare] All right. Writer's intuition, huh?

Elly

Notice anything?

Aidan

Yeah, Bakunin was loaded. He wouldn't live in a dump like this.

Team one, what's your status?

We're two miles out.

Elly

No, it's wallpaper over brick. Does that seem normal to you?

Aidan

Uh, whoever lived here had bad taste? Can we- ca- let's- let's split. [Elly tears down off a wallpaper strip] What are you doing?!

Elly

Look, look, look, there's a line, this is a clue. [Points to white splotch on dark bricks] Look at this.

Aidan

That's spackle. That's plaster. Let's go.

Elly

This is something.

Aidan

We got 95 more locations to check. Come on. Let's get outta here.
