The Man with the Golden Gun

A Bikini Encounter with James Bond

Francisco Scaramanga Ah, Miss Goodnight.

Mary Goodnight James!

James Bond Aren't we a little overdressed, Goodnight?

Scaramanga I like a girl in a bikini. No concealed weapons. Miss Goodnight, please. Mr. Bond. Now, let's see what Nick Nack has for us. Ahh- mushrooms. )

[shows Goodnight to her chair; Bond sits next to her as Nick Nack places a tray on the table; he lifts the tray's lid; As he sits down across from Bond, Goodnight takes a hasty look at the mushrooms and glances meaningfully at Bond.]

Goodnight The fried mushroom looks terribly interesting.

Bond Yes, I noticed that- I'll get around to it later. Having fun in the sun, Goodnight?

[Scaramanga subtly places several pieces of his Golden Gun on the table as Nick Nack pours wine]

Goodnight Yes- I could stay here forever.

[sarcastically; Scaramanga watches them]

Bond Mmm, excellent- slightly reminiscent of a 34 Mouton.

[tastes the wine, Scaramanga gives him an inquiring look]

Scaramanga Then I must add it to my cellar.

[nods, pulls out a gold-plated pen that doubles as the barrel of the Golden Gun; writes it down]

Bond You live well, Scaramanga.

Scaramanga At a million dollars a contract, I can afford to, Mr. Bond. You work for peanuts, a hearty well done from Her Majesty the Queen, and a pittance of a pension. Apart from that, we are the same. To us, Mr. Bond. We are the best.

[raises his glass in a toast; he and Goodnight drink, but Bond does not]

Bond There's a ]... and you're full of it. When I kill, it is on the specific orders of my government. And those I kill are themselves killers.

[coldly; [w:Shit|useful four letter word; Scaramanga sets down his wine, his expression cold]

Scaramanga Ha! Come, come, Mr. Bond, you disappoint me. You get as much fulfillment out of killing as I do, so why don't you admit it?

[takes the various pieces of the Golden Gun and moves them into his lap, out of sight]

Bond I admit killing you would be a pleasure.

Scaramanga Then you should have done that when you first saw me. But then, of course, the English don't consider it sporting to kill in cold blood, do they?

[smirks]

Bond Don't count on that.

[reaches for his gun, but Scaramanga raises his Golden Gun, which he has surreptitiously put together.]

Scaramanga ... I could have shot you down when you landed, but that would have been ridiculously easy. You see, Mr. Bond, like all great artists I want to create one indisputable masterpiece. The death of 007 -mano a mano, face to face- will be mine.

[quietly; Bond slowly moves his hand away from his pistol]

Bond You mean, stuffed and displayed over your rocky mantelpiece?

Scaramanga It's an amusing idea, but I was thinking more in terms of history. A duel between titans... my golden gun against your Walther PPK. Each of us a 50-50 chance.

Bond Six bullets to your one?

Scaramanga I only need one.

Bond ...Sounds a bit old-fashioned, doesn't it? Pistols and dawn, that sort of thing?

Scaramanga Indeed it is, Mr Bond. But it still remains the only true test, for gentlemen.

Bond I doubt you'll qualify on that score. However, I accept. As soon as I finish this delicious lunch Nick Nack has prepared for us.

Methods for Disabling a Crocodile

Tee-Hee There are two ways to disable a croc, you know.

[on a telescopic wooden bridge to the crocodilian enclosure at the farm that Kananga produces heroin at; the bridge is being wound back by Adam]

James Bond I don't suppose you'd care to tell me what they are.

[stranded on a little island in the enclosure's big lake]

Tee-Hee One way is to take a pencil and jam it into the pressure hole behind his eye.

Bond And the other?

Tee-Hee Oh, the other way is twice as simple. You just put your hand in his mouth and pull his teeth out.

[gets off the now wound-back bridge and hands the metal feeding tray to Adam as he shuts the gate; slides the gate's locking bolt into position; starts laughing loudly as he, Adam and the other two henchmen walk away to the laboratory]

James Bond Tell me, why do Zorin's horses beat others with far superior bloodlines?

Aubergine This is a mystery.

Bond Could he be using drugs?

Aubergine Nothing showed up in the tests. Later this month, Zorin will hold his annual sale at his stud near Paris. Security is formidable. But the key to this mystery is there. And I, Achille Aubergine, will intend to find it.

Testing Innovative Gadgets in Secret Missions

M I'm sure the over-burdened British taxpayer would be fascinated to know how its Special Ordinances section disperses its funds. In future, Commander, let me suggest a perfectly adequate watchmaker just down the street. Good God!

[Bond activates the watch magnet, drawing M's teaspoon to it]

James Bond You see, sir, by pulling out this button, it turns the watch into a hyper-intensified magnetic field. Powerful enough to even deflect the path of a bullet - at long range, or so Q claims...

M I feel very tempted to test that theory right now!

A Dark Reflection on Life and Death

Francisco Scaramanga When I was a boy, I was brought up in a circus. My only real friend was a huge, magnificent African bull elephant. One day, his handler mistreated him and he went berserk. Bleeding, dying, he came and found me, stood on one leg, his best trick, picked me up and put me on his back. The drunken handler came along and emptied his gun into his eye... I emptied my stage pistol into his!

James Bond An eye for an eye. Nut?

Scaramanga You see, Mr. Bond, I always thought I liked animals. Then I discovered that I liked killing people even more.

Bond Exactly. I am now aiming precisely at your groin. So speak or forever hold your piece.

[swings a rifle barrel toward Lazar's crotch]

Lazar I have never seen Mr. Scaramanga.

Bond On a cost-per-bullet basis he must be your best customer.

Lazar That is true, but unfortunately he seems only to fire them occasionally.

Bond When was the--uh--last shipment?

Lazar Mr. Bond, this is impossible! I cannot...

Bond You're quite right....an inch too low.

Lazar I have just completed an order for immediate delivery.

Bond Who collects them?

Lazar I swear I do not know! My instructions are to go to the casino, I am paid, and they vanish!
