Memorable Quotes from Richard Loo
1 quoteUnderestimating the Value of Influence
Francisco Scaramanga
What do they teach at that school? Belly dancing?
[after Bond has broken out of Hai Fat's karate school]
Hai Fat
I find nothing remotely amusing about Mr. Bond's escape.
Scaramanga
You underestimated him.
Fat
Even my influence does not extend into the British Secret Service. I shall lie low too. I do not intend to jeopardize a project in which I have invested half my fortune, when it is ready to yield billions.
Scaramanga
Where will you hide out?
Fat
That is not your concern. Now, take this... Return it to the plant and don't leave there without my permission. May I remind you that you work for me. I took you on as a junior partner to be an occasional convenience, nothing more. I did not pay you to interfere in my affairs. Is that clear?
[he hands Scaramanga the SOLEX agitator; he doesn't see Scaramanga assembling the Golden Gun]
Scaramanga
Yes, very clear.
Fat
I now regret having even considered employing your services, but that is beside the point. Bond doesn't know you're in Bangkok; he's never seen you. But he has seen me. That's the problem.
Scaramanga
That's no problem.
[shoots Fat dead, then disassembles the Golden Gun as one of Fat's aides comes to investigate]
Aide
What happened?
Scaramanga
Mr. Fat has just resigned. I'm the new Chairman of the Board. He always did like that mausoleum. Put him in it.
[goes outside, looks over at Fat's family tomb]
