Carl RITCHIE: We had some tough negotiations, but at least they always took place in an atmosphere of great trust.
Margaret PEAKE (mockingly): Great trust? I wouldn’t go as far as that!

Margaret PEAKE: “Lying” is putting it too strongly.
Carl RITCHIE (with curiosity): But you always told me the truth, at least. I was always convinced of that.
Margaret PEAKE (shaking her head with an expression of mock sadness): Come on, Mr. Ritchie, if I’d always told you the truth, I’d have been shown the door a long time ago.
