Magnificent view.

[[Friday the 13th]

Do you believe in bad luck?

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

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

How much time do you have?

Until dawn. How about you?

Conflict Diamonds and Global Hypocrisy
Zao
I am Zao. You are late.
Colonel Moon Tan-Sun
Mr. Van Bierk! I've been looking forward to this meeting.
James Bond
Me, too. My African military friends owe you many thanks, Colonel Moon. Few men have the guts to trade conflict diamonds since the UN embargo.
[takes off his sunglasses]
Moon
I know all about the UN. I studied at Oxford and Harvard. Majored in Western hypocrisy.
[Bond glances at Colonel Moon's collection of imported sportscars]
Bond
From your modest little collection of cars, I would never have guessed.
Moon
Show me the diamonds.
Bond
Show me the weapons.
[Zao picks up his radio]
Zao
Bring the weapons.
[radios in Korean; The gate opens and several hovercraft enter the compound]
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
RPGs, flamethrowers, automatic weapons, and enough ammunition to run a small war. My diamonds?
[Bond starts to hand the briefcase to Moon. Zao grabs it and hands it to Moon's diamond analyst]
Zao
Check it over, quick.
[in Korean; The analyst opens the briefcase and looks at the diamonds]
Bond
Don't blow it all at once.
Moon
Oh, I have special plans for this consignment.
[Zao checks his cell phone and sees Bond's MI6 file on screen. He looks at Colonel Moon, who comes over]
Zao
His name is James Bond, a British assassin.
[whispers; Colonel Moon thinks about this. A moment later, he turns around and takes off his cap]
Moon
Mr. Van Bierk, let me show you something. Our new tankbuster. Depleted uranium shells, naturally.
[He hops on the hovercraft and is handed an XM29 launcher]
James Bond
Naturally.
Moon
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.
[Colonel Moon hops off the hovercraft]
Bond
Then you and I have something in common.

[[w:Donald Campbell|Donald Campbell]
Bond
Of course. Campbell died on his return run.
Graves
Yeah, but he died chasing a dream. Isn't that the way to go?
Bond
I'd rather not go at all. I see you don't chase dreams: you live them.

One of the virtues of never sleeping, Mr. Bond. I have to live my dreams. Besides, plenty of time to sleep when you're dead.

Oh, look - parachutes for the both of us! Whoops, not anymore! You see, Mr. Bond, you can't kill my dreams... but my dreams can kill you! Time to face destiny.

A new watch, this is your 20th, I believe.

Q
The ultimate in British engineering.

Bond
Oh, very good.
Q
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. Plus, all the usual refinements: ejector seat, torpedoes, target-seeking shotguns to shoot down mobile objects. Why don't you acquaint yourself with the manual? You should be able to shoot through that in a couple of hours.
[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]

Just took a few seconds, Q.

Wish I could make you vanish.
