Memorable Quotes from Vladek Sheybal
3 quotesBlame and Accountability Among Agents
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
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.
[''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'']
Rosa Klebb
Yes, Number One.
Ernst Blofeld
Our rules are very simple. If you fail...
Ernst Blofeld
Twelve seconds. One day, we must invent a faster-working venom. Number Three.
[''Klebb pulls a handnerchief out of her pocket and starts mopping sweat from her brow'']
Rosa Klebb
Yes?
[''Hastily puts away her handkerchief'']
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.

Love and Memories Amidst Pain
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.

Understanding the Symbolism of "Wolverine
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
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 ]: "]
[[w:Vietnam War|Vietnam; [w:Winning hearts and minds|Win their hearts and minds.]
Bratchenko
And they lost, Ernesto.
Bella
Of course, General.
Bratchenko
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.
[to Bella in disdain]
Nicaraguan Captain
Are you all right?!
[to Colonel Bella]
Bella
Yes, yes, help them! You were saying, comrade? Huh?!
[gesturing impatiently to others fallen nearby; to Bratchenko]
Bratchenko
Shut up!
