Q: [Reaches into the car, pulls out a big manual, handing it to Bond; Bond tosses the manual in the air. The activated target-seeking shotguns promptly blast it to pieces] Adaptive camouflage. Tiny cameras on all sides project the image they see onto a light-emitting polymer skin on the opposite side. See, to the casual eye, it's as good as invisible.

Jinx: And why is that?

Bond: [Jinx tries a sip of Bond's mojito] It's when their prey comes out to drink. Too strong for you?

Jinx: I could learn to like it...if I had the time.

Bond: How much time do you have?

Jinx: Until dawn. How about you?

Bond: [shows his binoculars & bird-watching book] Oh, I'm just here for the birds. Ornithologist.

Colonel Moon Tan-Sun: Mr. Van Bierk! I've been looking forward to this meeting.

Moon: [Bond glances at Colonel Moon's collection of imported sportscars] I know all about the UN. I studied at Oxford and Harvard. Majored in Western hypocrisy.

Bond: From your modest little collection of cars, I would never have guessed.

Moon: Show me the diamonds.

Bond: [Zao picks up his radio] Show me the weapons.

Zao: [radios in Korean; The gate opens and several hovercraft enter the compound] Bring the weapons.

Bond: Hiding weapons in the Demilitarized Zone. That's a bit of a minefield out there.

Moon: America's cultural contribution. One million landmines, and my hovercrafts float right over them.

Moon: [Bond starts to hand the briefcase to Moon. Zao grabs it and hands it to Moon's diamond analyst] RPGs, flamethrowers, automatic weapons, and enough ammunition to run a small war. My diamonds?

Zao: [in Korean; The analyst opens the briefcase and looks at the diamonds] Check it over, quick.

Bond: Don't blow it all at once.

Moon: [Zao checks his cell phone and sees Bond's MI6 file on screen. He looks at Colonel Moon, who comes over] Oh, I have special plans for this consignment.

Zao: [whispers; Colonel Moon thinks about this. A moment later, he turns around and takes off his cap] His name is James Bond, a British assassin.

Moon: [He hops on the hovercraft and is handed an XM29 launcher] Mr. Van Bierk, let me show you something. Our new tankbuster. Depleted uranium shells, naturally.

James Bond: Naturally.

Moon: [Colonel Moon hops off the hovercraft] How do you propose to kill me now, Mr. Bond? It's pathetic, that you British still believe you have the right to police the world. But, you will not live to see the day all Korea is ruled by the North.

Bond: Then you and I have something in common.

M: Knowing who to trust is everything in this business.

James Bond: [figures out that Gustav Graves and Colonel Moon are the same person] So you lived to die another day..Colonel.
