Q: Hello?

Minister: Grandfather is calling Q. What's the situation?

Q: Just cleaning up a few details.

Stacey Sutton: Oh, James!

May Day: And I thought that creep loved me!

James Bond: [sees a dead miner's body float by] You're not the only one he double-crossed.

Scarpine: [Zorin gets a remote detonator from Scarpine's hard case] It's time to flood the fault.

Bob Conley: But May Day and my men!

Zorin: Yes. A convenient coincidence.

Conley: [Scarpine knocks him out; Conley falls to the bottom of the cavern] Mr. Zorin, those men are LOYAL to you!

Chief Geologist WG Howe: What have they done?

Max Zorin: [switches pistols with May Day] You discharged her, so she and her accomplice came here to kill you. Then they set fire to the office, to conceal the crime but they were trapped in the elevator and perished in the flames.

Howe: But that means I would have to be...

Zorin: [shoots him; Jenny Flex appears at a nearby door. to Bond] Dead! That's rather neat, don't you think?

James Bond: Brilliant. I'm almost speechless with admiration.

Zorin: Intuitive improvisation is the secret of genius.

Bond: Herr Doktor Mortner would be proud of his creation.

May Day: [In Zorin's dirigible looking at San Francisco] Wow! What a view...

Max Zorin: ...to a kill!

General Gogol: Good morning, Comrade Zorin.

Zorin: General Gogol. This meeting is ill-advised.

Gogol: A calculated risk. But necessary, since you refused to answer your control.

Zorin: Come to the point, General.

Gogol: You disregard procedure. You did not request approval before eliminating 007. Reprisals might jeopardize ongoing operations.

Zorin: You jeopardized mine!! Letting the British penetrate the Siberian research center.

Gogol: That was regrettable. Your racing activities attract unnecessary attention, but more disturbing are your unauthorized commercial ventures, and we cannot tolerate that.

Zorin: The issue is irrelevant. I've made new associations. I no longer consider myself a KGB agent.

Klotkoff: [Zorin scoffs and chuckles; Zorin coldly glares at him] We trained you. Financed you. Huh. What would you be without us? A biological experiment? A physiological freak?

Gogol: [to his own men; May Day throws Klotkoff down to the ground while General Gogol confronts Zorin] Enough of this!! Control yourselves!! You will come back to us, Comrade. No one ever leaves the KGB.

James Bond: My department knows I'm here. When I don't report, they'll retaliate.

Max Zorin: If you're the best they've got, they're more likely to try and cover up your embarrassing incompetence.

Bond: Don't count on it, Zorin.

Zorin: [laughs] Ha ha, you amuse me, Mr. Bond.

Bond: It's not mutual.

Max Zorin: [the morning after Bond sleeps with May Day] You slept well?

James Bond: A little restless but I got off eventually.

Emcee: Ladies and gentlemen, the beautiful Dominique.

Achille Aubergine: [chuckles] Perhaps we should add this "butterfly" to our collection, no?

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.

Max Zorin: [after one of the businessmen he convened falls to his death] So, does anyone else want to drop out?

Max Zorin: [addressing businessmen aboard his Skyship 6000; throws microchips onto the table, which splits up and out comes a model of a familiar city] Gentlemen. For centuries alchemists tried to make gold from base metals. Today, we make microchips from silicon, which is common sand, but far better than gold. Now, for several years, we had a profitable partnership, you as manufacturers, while I acquired and passed on to you industrial information that made you competitive, successful. We are now on the unique position to form an international cartel to control not only production, but distribution of these microchips. There is one obstacle... Silicon Valley, near San Francisco.
