The Foreign Office Quotes in The Prince and the Showgirl (1957)

The Foreign Office: Do you mean to say, Northbrook, that you know nothing about Carpathia whatever?

Northbrook: Don't even know where the beastly place is for a start.

The Foreign Office: How long have you been in the foreign office?

Northbrook: Fifteen years, sir, but I'm in the Far Eastern Department.

The Foreign Office: Now that's no excuse. What would you think if I knew nothing of Siam?

Northbrook: Don't think I'd mind much.

The Foreign Office: That sort of remark will get you nowhere, Northbrook.

Northbrook: Not even out of this job?

The Foreign Office: Certainly not! Your predecessor has had a riding accident and you are now in his saddle.
