Vladek SheybalQuotes

General Bratchenko: What is a "Wolverine"?

Colonel Bella: A small animal...like a badger, but terribly ferocious. It is also the name of the local school sports collective.

Bratchenko: They're beasts, Ernesto. You must kill every one of them eventually. It's the same as Afghanistan. They'll never stop.

Bella: [[w:Vietnam War|Vietnam; [w:Winning hearts and minds|Win their hearts and minds.] Look. I was always on the side of the insurgents. I have no experience in these matters. But it would seem necessary to win the support of the people. As our opponents used to say in ]: "]

Bratchenko: And they lost, Ernesto.

Bella: Of course, General.

Bratchenko: [to Bella in disdain] Things are paralyzed at the front, Ernesto. Morale is crucial right now. Keep the men in the secured areas. You'll see how they forget about these "Wolverines.

Nicaraguan Captain: [to Colonel Bella] Are you all right?!

Bella: [gesturing impatiently to others fallen nearby; to Bratchenko] Yes, yes, help them! You were saying, comrade? Huh?!

Bratchenko: Shut up!

Cross: You still don't have any questions?

Zemetkin: What answers could you have that would make any difference? I love you, Cross.

Cross: And I you, Max. That's why I must tell you there could be pain in this.

Zemetkin: I have been inoculated. You know, Cross, I used to think that the only music I would ever hear, no matter what I was really playing, was the music we played each morning when the others went out to work. Or the music for the selection, when the lucky ones went into the showers. Now I can hear Brahms... And not crying. But one image has never blurred. Cross, you coming through that gate and taking me home.

Ernst Blofeld: Three men were found dead on the train at Trieste. One of them was Grant. What have you to say, Number Five?

Kronsteen: It was Klebb's choice. Her people failed.

Rosa Klebb: It was your plan! They followed it implicitly!

Kronsteen: Impossible. It was perfect.

Rosa Klebb: Except for one thing. They were dealing with Bond!

Kronsteen: Who is Bond compared with Kronsteen?

Ernst Blofeld: [''Klebb says nothing; Blofeld pushes a button on his desk, and Morzeny enters the room''; ''Morzeny comes up behind Klebb and Kronsteen''; ''Morzeny presses one of his boots against the other, and a small spike extends from its' toe''] Exactly. What have you to say to that, Number Three? Bond is still alive, and the L.E.K.T.O.R. is not yet in our possession. I have already negotiated with the Russians to return it to them. We've agreed a price. And S.P.E.C.T.R.E always delivers what it promises. Our whole organization depends on us keeping those promises. I warned you. We do not tolerate failure, Number Three. You know the penalty.

Rosa Klebb: Yes, Number One.

Ernst Blofeld: Our rules are very simple. If you fail...

Ernst Blofeld: [''Klebb pulls a handnerchief out of her pocket and starts mopping sweat from her brow''] Twelve seconds. One day, we must invent a faster-working venom. Number Three.

Rosa Klebb: [''Hastily puts away her handkerchief''] Yes?

Ernst Blofeld: I do not wish to have to tell the Russians that there will be another delay.

Rosa Klebb: There will be no delay, Number One. There's still time.
