Nicole Devereaux quotes from Topaz (1969)

Okay, I'm going. And you two secret agents can settle down and be secret agents.

I wish you wouldn't use such words, my love.

But I do know, that's the trouble. I wish I didn't. I know that you go to Cuba four or five times a year. And that - she is beautiful.

André, I don't want you to go. I am afraid for you, for your career, for your life!

I've got to. I promised. I started all this and I am going to finish it.

Let the Americans do their own dirty work.
