I'm not sure whether it's my favorite...Still I find it really cool:

Harry (after getting 'shot'): It only hurts when I breathe.
Adam: Well, don't breath! Idea

Jo: "Adam once told me revenge is an expression of pain. Pain is weakness, we never show weakness..."

However Jo also said this regarding the death of Adam, "The punishment doesn’t fit the crime... Harry, he was worth more.” almost saying to Harry that he should kill the russian man responsible for the death of Adam, so a bit of a mixed message from Jo. Nevertheless, still my favourite spooks quote, it's even in my signature!

From episode 10.1

Harry: I’m aware I have not played nicely with the other children.
Towers: Would it have killed you to pick up a golf club every once in a while?
Harry: It may well have done, yes.


Dimitri: How was your, uhm, break?
Harry: At one particularly dark moment I actually considered gardening.


Harry: She’s altered my bloody chair – it took me ten years to get it just right.
Ruth: Well, I’ll get Q Branch to have a look at it.


Harry: Not another one… Come in, knocking isn’t customary around here.


Jim: You feelin’ too British for a hug?
Harry: You too American for a hand-shake?

From episode 10.1

Callum: Can you believe there is no one on the list called assassin.

How about:

R: Can I see that report?
H: Not while I draw breath

fantastic thread idea! thanks !

especially since I'm gearing up to watch the entire series again-
this time, properly.. noticing details. savoring dialogue.

the first time, I was like a greedy child. watched all 9 series over a couple of weeks- I'm sure, missing swathes of stuff.
like skimming a book when it's too exciting to put down!
---------------------------------------------------------------

so..
because I am sure I don't remember enough to have a favorite quote..
I'll just list the one I remembered right away:

episode about computer hackers, 'Spiders'

The team is sitting 'round the briefing table-
Harry has used a whopper of a metaphor for the hackers: 'Let me understand this- at 11:27 today someone thrust a hand up our skirt'
Some dialogue ensues.
Then, Ruth (defensively! early days.. Wink): Inflammatory? You said it yourself, we've just been raped!
Tom: No, no. No, Harry said we were groped, we weren't penetrated.

hard to forget that one!

The only one I ever remember properly, was said by Tom:

"It's like it's stopped raining in my head"

Although, anything Harry or Ruth says is worth quoting.

Ros: If I wanted a job where everybody loved me I would have become a vet.

I really like that for some reason, I don't know why.

I thought this was memorable.
[Extracting from memory]

Someone (might be Jo): Where's Harry?
Zaf: Moving in mysterious ways
