Goldfinger
The Risks of Gold Smuggling
Colonel Smithers We here, at ], Mr. Bond, are the official depository for gold bullion. Just as ], is for the United States. We know, of course, uh...the amounts we each hold; we know the amounts deposited in other banks; and we can estimate what is being held for industrial purposes. Then this enables the two governments to establish, respectively, the true value of the dollar and the pound. And consequently, we are vitally concerned with unauthorised leakages.
[[w:Bank of England|the Bank of England; ''Smithers' butler, Brunskill, approaches the dining table with a box of cigars''; [w:Fort Knox, Kentucky|Fort Knox, Kentucky; ''During this line, Brunskill offers M a cigar''; ''Brunskill crosses to Bond''; ''Bond refuses the cigar offer; Brunskill crosses to Colonel Smithers'']
Bond I take it you mean smuggling.
Colonel Smithers Yes. Gold, gentlemen, which can be melted down and recast, is virtually untraceable... ...which makes it, unlike diamonds, ideal for smuggling... ...attracting the biggest and most ingenious criminals. Thank you, Brunskill. That'll be all.
[''Embarrassed''; ''During this line, he selects a cigar from the box''; ''He hands the cigar to Brunskill, who cuts it during the next line''; ''Brunskill hands the cigar back to him''; ''To Brunskill; quietly]
Brunskill Thank you, sir.
[''He bows and leaves, carrying the cigar box'']
Colonel Smithers Have a little more of this...rather disappointing brandy.
[''Leans forward, picks up the brandy decanter; ''Hands it to Bond'']
M Ah, what's the matter with it?
[''About to drink, stops, frowning'']
Bond I'd say it was a 30-year-old fine, indifferently blended, sir... ...with an overdose of bon-bois.

Bond Why move it?
[''Handing Colonel Smithers the brandy decanter'']
Colonel Smithers Because the price of gold varies from country to country. You buy it here, at $30 an ounce, you can sell it in, say, ], at $110, and triple your money. Providing, of course, you have the facilities for...melting it down.
[''Takes the decanter''; ''Sets it down on his right''; [w:Pakistan|Pakistan; ''M smells the brandy'']
Bond And has he?
Colonel Smithers Apart from being a legitimate bullion dealer, Mr. Goldfinger poses... er no, that's not quite fair...is, among his many other interests, a legitimate international jeweller. He's legally entitled to operate modest metallurgical installations; his British one is down in ]. As yet, we have failed to discover how he transfers his gold overseas...and Lord knows we've tried! If your department can establish that it is done illegally, then the Bank could institute proceedings to recover the bulk of his holdings.
[''While M, cigar in mouth, puts the brandy decanter stopper back in and sets the decanter on the table''; ''pause''; [w:Kent|Kent; ''Leans forward; to M'']
Bond I think it's time Mr. Goldfinger and I... met. Socially, of course.
Colonel Smithers I...was hoping you would say that.
[''Stands up and walks off'']
M It might lead to a business talk - Mr. Goldfinger's business.
Bond I'll need some kind of bait.
Colonel Smithers I quite agree. This is the only one we have, ] at the bottom of ] in the ], but there are undoubtedly others. ]. As he sits down] Mr. Bond can make whatever use of it he sees fit - providing he returns it, of course. It's worth £5,000.

Ejector Seat Explanation in Goldfinger Scene
Q Now this one I'm particularly keen about. You see the gear lever here? Now, if you take the top off , you'll find a little red button. Whatever you do, don't touch it.
[''Points to the gearstick''; ''opens the cap''; ''Closes the cap, stands up'']
Bond Yeah, why not?
Q Because you'll release this section of the roof, and engage and then fire the passenger ejector seat. Whish!

Statistics and Morality in Goldfinger's Scheme
Bond You'll kill 60,000 people uselessly.
Goldfinger Hah. American motorists kill that many every two years.
Bond Yes, well, I've worked out a few statistics of my own. 15 billion dollars in gold bullion weighs 10,500 tons. Sixty men would take twelve days to load it onto 200 trucks. Now, at the most, you're going to have two hours before the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines move in and make you put it back.
Goldfinger Who mentioned anything about removing it? The julep tart enough for you?
[''Bond goes silent'']
Bond You plan to break into the world's largest bank, but not to steal anything. Why?
Goldfinger Go on, Mr. Bond.
Bond Mr. Ling, ] agent at the factory, he's a specialist in nuclear fission... but of course! His government's given you a bomb.
[''Thinking''; [w:Chinese communist Party|the Red Chinese]
Goldfinger I prefer to call it an "atomic device." It's small, but particularly dirty.
Bond Cobalt and iodine?
Goldfinger Precisely.
Bond Well, if you explode it in Fort Knox, the... the entire gold supply of the United States would be radioactive for... fifty-seven years.
Goldfinger Fifty-eight, to be exact.
Bond I apologize, Goldfinger. It's an inspired deal! They get what they want: economic chaos in the West. And the value of your gold increases many times.
Goldfinger I conservatively estimate, ten times.
Bond Brilliant.
