Unexpected Concealment in a Bag
Francisco Scaramanga
You won't find it in there Mr Bond. I looked before you came. I wouldn't do that either. Look behind you. Lower.
[senses Bond preparing to shoot him; Bond looks behind him and doesn't see anything]
James Bond
A gun in a bag of peanuts, how original! What will they think of next?

A Bikini Encounter with James Bond
Francisco Scaramanga
Ah, Miss Goodnight.
Mary Goodnight
James!
James Bond
Aren't we a little overdressed, Goodnight?
Scaramanga
I like a girl in a bikini. No concealed weapons. Miss Goodnight, please. Mr. Bond. Now, let's see what Nick Nack has for us. Ahh- mushrooms. )
[shows Goodnight to her chair; Bond sits next to her as Nick Nack places a tray on the table; he lifts the tray's lid; As he sits down across from Bond, Goodnight takes a hasty look at the mushrooms and glances meaningfully at Bond.]
Goodnight
The fried mushroom looks terribly interesting.
Bond
Yes, I noticed that- I'll get around to it later. Having fun in the sun, Goodnight?
[Scaramanga subtly places several pieces of his Golden Gun on the table as Nick Nack pours wine]
Goodnight
Yes- I could stay here forever.
[sarcastically; Scaramanga watches them]
Bond
Mmm, excellent- slightly reminiscent of a 34 Mouton.
[tastes the wine, Scaramanga gives him an inquiring look]
Scaramanga
Then I must add it to my cellar.
[nods, pulls out a gold-plated pen that doubles as the barrel of the Golden Gun; writes it down]
Bond
You live well, Scaramanga.
Scaramanga
At a million dollars a contract, I can afford to, Mr. Bond. You work for peanuts, a hearty well done from Her Majesty the Queen, and a pittance of a pension. Apart from that, we are the same. To us, Mr. Bond. We are the best.
[raises his glass in a toast; he and Goodnight drink, but Bond does not]
Bond
There's a ]... and you're full of it. When I kill, it is on the specific orders of my government. And those I kill are themselves killers.
[coldly; [w:Shit|useful four letter word; Scaramanga sets down his wine, his expression cold]
Scaramanga
Ha! Come, come, Mr. Bond, you disappoint me. You get as much fulfillment out of killing as I do, so why don't you admit it?
[takes the various pieces of the Golden Gun and moves them into his lap, out of sight]
Bond
I admit killing you would be a pleasure.
Scaramanga
Then you should have done that when you first saw me. But then, of course, the English don't consider it sporting to kill in cold blood, do they?
[smirks]
Bond
Don't count on that.
[reaches for his gun, but Scaramanga raises his Golden Gun, which he has surreptitiously put together.]
Scaramanga
... I could have shot you down when you landed, but that would have been ridiculously easy. You see, Mr. Bond, like all great artists I want to create one indisputable masterpiece. The death of 007 -mano a mano, face to face- will be mine.
[quietly; Bond slowly moves his hand away from his pistol]
Bond
You mean, stuffed and displayed over your rocky mantelpiece?
Scaramanga
It's an amusing idea, but I was thinking more in terms of history. A duel between titans... my golden gun against your Walther PPK. Each of us a 50-50 chance.
Bond
Six bullets to your one?
Scaramanga
I only need one.
Bond
...Sounds a bit old-fashioned, doesn't it? Pistols and dawn, that sort of thing?
Scaramanga
Indeed it is, Mr Bond. But it still remains the only true test, for gentlemen.
Bond
I doubt you'll qualify on that score. However, I accept. As soon as I finish this delicious lunch Nick Nack has prepared for us.

Underestimating the Value of Influence
Francisco Scaramanga
What do they teach at that school? Belly dancing?
[after Bond has broken out of Hai Fat's karate school]
Hai Fat
I find nothing remotely amusing about Mr. Bond's escape.
Scaramanga
You underestimated him.
Fat
Even my influence does not extend into the British Secret Service. I shall lie low too. I do not intend to jeopardize a project in which I have invested half my fortune, when it is ready to yield billions.
Scaramanga
Where will you hide out?
Fat
That is not your concern. Now, take this... Return it to the plant and don't leave there without my permission. May I remind you that you work for me. I took you on as a junior partner to be an occasional convenience, nothing more. I did not pay you to interfere in my affairs. Is that clear?
[he hands Scaramanga the SOLEX agitator; he doesn't see Scaramanga assembling the Golden Gun]
Scaramanga
Yes, very clear.
Fat
I now regret having even considered employing your services, but that is beside the point. Bond doesn't know you're in Bangkok; he's never seen you. But he has seen me. That's the problem.
Scaramanga
That's no problem.
[shoots Fat dead, then disassembles the Golden Gun as one of Fat's aides comes to investigate]
Aide
What happened?
Scaramanga
Mr. Fat has just resigned. I'm the new Chairman of the Board. He always did like that mausoleum. Put him in it.
[goes outside, looks over at Fat's family tomb]

A Tension-filled Encounter Between Rivals
Francisco Scaramanga
Forget the girl, she's replaceable. But I shall find what she stole from me. Personally, I've got nothing against you, Mr. Bond, and to keep it that way, let us hope our paths never cross again. Please don't try to follow me.
[on the dead Andrea Anders]
James Bond
Your peanut-toting friend back there wouldn't like it?
Scaramanga
No, he wouldn't.

A Conversation About the Future in Beirut
Saida
Let us forget the past.
James Bond
Oh, I was hoping you'd say that.
Saida
Are you staying long in Beirut?
James Bond
Depends.
James Bond
Clumsy me. You really do have a magnificent abdomen.
[As he bends down to pick it up, he begins to kiss her belly. Saida enjoys it.]

A Dark Reflection on Life and Death
Francisco Scaramanga
When I was a boy, I was brought up in a circus. My only real friend was a huge, magnificent African bull elephant. One day, his handler mistreated him and he went berserk. Bleeding, dying, he came and found me, stood on one leg, his best trick, picked me up and put me on his back. The drunken handler came along and emptied his gun into his eye... I emptied my stage pistol into his!
James Bond
An eye for an eye. Nut?
Scaramanga
You see, Mr. Bond, I always thought I liked animals. Then I discovered that I liked killing people even more.
[Bond looks agape at him with the last few words]

Confidentiality and Consequences in Dangerous Dealings
Lazar
My relationship with a client Mr. Bond is strictly confidential, like a doctor or a priest.
James Bond
Of course, yet you make guns for fingerless hoodlums, bullets for assassins.
Lazar
Mr. Bond, bullets do not kill. It is the finger that pulls the trigger.
Bond
Exactly. I am now aiming precisely at your groin. So speak or forever hold your piece.
[swings a rifle barrel toward Lazar's crotch]
Lazar
I have never seen Mr. Scaramanga.
Bond
On a cost-per-bullet basis he must be your best customer.
Lazar
That is true, but unfortunately he seems only to fire them occasionally.
Bond
When was the--uh--last shipment?
Lazar
Mr. Bond, this is impossible! I cannot...
Bond
You're quite right....an inch too low.
[reloads the rifle; Lazar, badly shaken, runs into a side room and returns with a cigarette pack full of gold bullets]
Lazar
I have just completed an order for immediate delivery.
Bond
Who collects them?
Lazar
I swear I do not know! My instructions are to go to the casino, I am paid, and they vanish!
