Elliot Carver Denies Malicious Rumors
Elliot Carver
Anyway, there's absolutely no truth in this malicious rumour that I started running ] stories simply because Sir Angus Black, the great British beef baron, lost £10,000 to me in a game of poker and refused to pay up. Moreover, there's even less truth in the rumour I took a hundred million francs from the French to keep the stories running for another year.

GPS Signals and Military Concerns
Admiral Roebuck
That's preposterous! We know exactly where that ship was positioned! The GPS system–Global Positioning Satellites–do not lie!
M
Yes, but our Singapore station picked up a mysterious signal - on the GPS frequency at the time of the attack. It could have sent that ship off course.
Roebuck
I have a missing British frigate-
M
I'm aware of that!
Roebuck
And instead of decisive action, all you want to do is-
M
My goal is to prevent World War III, Admiral, and I don't think sending an armada into the recovery area is the best way to do it.
Defense Minister
Where exactly did this mysterious GPS signal come from?
M
We're still investigating.
Roebuck
Investigating". With all due respect, M, sometimes I don't think you have the balls for this job!
M
Perhaps. But the advantage is, I don't have to think with them all the time.
Defense Minister
That's enough. Now where do we stand?
Roebuck
It was an unprovoked attack held in international waters. We send in the fleet for recovery and prepare for full retaliation!
M
Moderation. We investigate and stop short of sending the entire British Navy within 10 minutes of the world's largest air force.
Defense Minister
When will our ships be in position?
Roebuck
48 hours.
Defense Minister
Christ. The press are already screaming for blood; the last thing we want to do is escalate the situation.
James Bond
I'm afraid it may be too late to worry about that.

Mr. Van Bierk! I've been looking forward to this meeting.

Me, too. My African military friends owe you many thanks, Colonel Moon. Few men have the guts to trade conflict diamonds since the UN embargo.

Moon
I know all about the UN. I studied at Oxford and Harvard. Majored in Western hypocrisy.

Moon
Show me the diamonds.
Bond
Show me the weapons.

Zao
Bring the weapons.
[radios in Korean; The gate opens and several hovercraft enter the compound]

Hiding weapons in the Demilitarized Zone. That's a bit of a minefield out there.
Moon
America's cultural contribution. One million landmines, and my hovercrafts float right over them.
Moon
RPGs, flamethrowers, automatic weapons, and enough ammunition to run a small war. My diamonds?

Zao

Moon

A Call for Accountability in Security Measures
Adam Lang
Spare me the bleeding-heart bullshit! Do you know what I'd do if I was in power again? I'd have two queues at airports: one for flights where we'd done no background checks, infringed on no one's civil bloody liberties, used no intelligence gained by torture. And on the other flight we'd do everything we possibly could to make it perfectly safe. And then we'd see which plane the Rycarts of this world would put their bloody kids on! And you can put that in the book!

Jones
Well, why would she blow up her own pipeline?
Bond
It makes her look innocent. The explosion covers up the theft of the plutonium... and they make it look like a terrorist attack.
Jones
But why leave this half?
[takes a tin of plutonium out of her bag]
Bond
So there's enough to spread around to cover up for the part that they did take.
Jones
But what are they gonna do with the other half? Its not enough to make a nuclear bomb.
Bond
You're the scientist; you tell me.
Jones
I don't know... but the world's greatest terrorist running around with six kilos of weapons-grade plutonium can't be good. I have to get it back, or somebody's gonna have my ass.

Adaptive camouflage. Tiny cameras on all sides project the image they see onto a light-emitting polymer skin on the opposite side. See, to the casual eye, it's as good as invisible. Plus, all the usual refinements: ejector seat, torpedoes, target-seeking shotguns to shoot down mobile objects. Why don't you acquaint yourself with the manual? You should be able to shoot through that in a couple of hours.
[Reaches into the car, pulls out a big manual, handing it to Bond; Bond tosses the manual in the air. The activated target-seeking shotguns promptly blast it to pieces]
Bond
Just took a few seconds, Q.

Wish I could make you vanish.

A Deadly Exchange of Gratitude
James Bond
Expecting Davidov? He caught a bullet instead of the plane. Get off and keep your mouth shut!
[grabs Renard and holds him at gunpoint]
Renard
You can't kill me. I'm already dead.
Bond
Not dead enough for me.
Renard
You could show a little gratitude. I did spare your life at the banker's office. That's right; I couldn't kill you, you were working for me. You delivered the money, killed King and now you've brought me the plane.
Bond
What's your plan for the bomb?!
Renard
You first. Or could it be you don't have a plan?
Bond
That bomb will never leave this room!
Renard
Neither will you. How sad…to be threatened by a man who can't grasp what he's involved in.
Bond
Revenge is not hard to fathom for a man who believes in nothing.
Renard
And what do you believe in? Preservation of capital? Go ahead. Shoot me. I welcome it. My men will hear the shot and kill you.

Bond
And the firefight will bring down half the army from above.
Renard

Bond
You're bluffing.
Renard
She's beautiful, isn't she? You should have had her before, when she was innocent. How does it feel to know that I broke her in for you?
Bond
I usually hate killing an unarmed man. Cold-blooded murder is a filthy business.
[as he puts the silencer on his P99]
Renard
A man tires of being executed.
Bond
But in your case, I feel nothing, just like you.
