She claimed to have information vital to the safeguarding of the circus. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Ricki Tarr (played by Tom Hardy): Yeah, I know what I am to the circus. I'm one of the scalp hunters. Someone you can hand you're dirty little jobs to. I just wanted to bring this one in myself.
George Smiley (played by Gary Oldman): Well, I understand how you felt. You wanted to do something.
I said that she claimed to have information vital to the safeguarding of the circus.
Anything more?
I said that she had information concerning a double agent. Look, I just wanted to get the proper attention. I told them that this was the reason why I had not come home. It wasn't that I defected or anything.
What did you do then?
I waited for a reply.
