SPECTRE Meeting Discusses Recent Developments and Losses
Ernst Stavro Blofeld/Number 1: [Largo bows and takes a seat amongst 12 men; dims the boardroom lights and shows a map of Earth, with a pulsating light blue pentagram over Japan, on the screen opposite his box]
Sit down, Number 2. We will discuss your NATO project later. I regret to inform you all of the death of SPECTRE Number 6. Colonel Jacques Bouvar was killed by an unknown assassin. His services will be greatly missed. We will now proceed with the area financial reports. Number 7.
SPECTRE Number 7:
Blackmail of the double agent, Matsou Fujiwa. Unfortunately, only 40 million yen, all the man had.
Blofeld/Number 1: [the star on the map has settled over France]
Number 10.
SPECTRE Number 10:
Assassination of Perringe, the French anti-matter specialist who went over to the Russians...three million francs from the Special Department of the Qui d'Orsay.
Blofeld/Number 1: [the star on the map has settled over the United Kingdom]
Number 5.
SPECTRE Number 5:
Our consultation fee for the British train robbery, £250,000.
Blofeld/Number 1:
Number 11.
SPECTRE Number 11:
Distribution of Red China narcotics in the United States. $2,300,000. Collected by Number 9 and myself.
Blofeld/Number 1:
Two million three? Our expectations were considerably...higher, Number 11.
SPECTRE Number 11:
Competition from Latin America. Prices are down.
Blofeld/Number 1:
I anticipated that factor. Are you quite sure all monies have been accounted for, by yourself and Number 9?
SPECTRE Number 11:
To the penny, Number 1.
Blofeld/Number 1: [Number 11 is nervous that he would be punished, but is surprised when Number 9 is electrocuted and immediately disposed of; the seat moves back up with burn marks on the upholstery]
On the contrary, I have satisfied myself that one of you is clearly guilty of embezzlement. SPECTRE is a dedicated fraternity whose strength lies in the absolute integrity of its members. The culprit is known to me. I have decided on the appropriate action. Let us now proceed with new business. We will hear from Number Two, who is in charge of our NATO project, the most ambitious SPECTRE has ever undertaken. Your report, Number Two.
Emilio Largo/SPECTRE Number 2:
Thank you, Number One. Our intention is to demand a ransom from the North Atlantic Treaty powers of 280 million dollars. A hundred million pounds. I have sent SPECTRE agent Count Lippe to the South of England where he is making the necessary preparations. He is at a health clinic, conveniently located near the NATO air base.

Doubt and Redemption in High Stakes
Grady:
Mr. Torrance, I see you can hardly have taken care of the business we discussed.
Jack:
No need to rub it in, Mr. Grady. I'll deal with that situation just as soon as I get out of here.
Grady:
Will you indeed, Mr. Torrance? I wonder. I have my doubts. I and others have come to believe that your heart is not in this, that you haven't the belly for it.
Jack:
Just give me one more chance to prove it, Mr. Grady. That's all I ask.
Grady:
Your wife appears to be stronger than we imagined, Mr. Torrance, somewhat more resourceful. She seems to have got the better of you.
Jack:
For the moment, Mr. Grady. Only for the moment.
Grady:
I fear you will have to deal with this matter in the harshest possible way, Mr. Torrance. I fear that is the only thing to do.
Jack:
There's nothing I look forward to with greater pleasure, Mr. Grady.
Grady:
You give your word on that, do you, Mr. Torrance?
Jack:
I give you my word.
