“If we knew each other's secrets, what comfort we would find.”

“We did that often, asking each other questions whose answers we already knew. Perhaps it was so that we would not ask the other questions, the ones whose answers we did not want to know.”

“We met each other when we were young, before we knew enough about disappointment, and once we did we found we reminded each other of it.”

“This is not the way it has been done. We would never surprise each other … It's not to say that there's not important information that we could discuss or would be discussed in secret or closed session, but I'm astounded by this. I don't really know what the tenor of this is, what is the justification for it and why this extreme approach was used.”

“Before either of us knew it, we belonged to each other.”

“Why are we embarrassed by silence? What comfort do we find in all the noise?”

“We went around without looking for each other, but knowing we went around to find each other.”

“That’s the thing about spies. Most of the secrets we keep are from each other.”

“We knew each other. We talked. We passed each other going to the set of our own films. We were doing our jobs. We had great mutual respect.”

“We knew exactly what we wanted in each other. And even so, it ended. One day it stopped, as if the film simply slipped off the reel.”
