In the BBC series Yes Prime Minister, Bernard was trying to get Sir Humphrey to tell him what was about to happen in their department. Finally, Sir Humphrey asked, "Can you keep a secret?"
Bernard leaned forward and in an urgent, confidential whisper said, "Yes, Sir Humphrey."
"So can I, Bernard," he replied, and went on with his work.
I can.
I consider it one of my strengths and in friendship what I'm known for. That and my loyalty.
I can keep a secret but the people whom I tell the secret are only can't able to keep it as a secret.
Yeah I can.
While I can, I ask that you not to tell me any. They're your secrets, you keep them.
