James Bond: [in bed with Jones] I was wrong about you.

Dr. Christmas Jones: Yeah, how so?

James Bond: I thought Christmas only comes once a year.

James Bond: [Elektra] Are you really going to commit suicide for her ?

Renard: You forget, I'm already dead!

Bond: Haven't you heard? So is she!

Renard: [stunned; screams] You're lying! LIAR!!

Bond: [he and Renard look at each other; twists a knob and impales Renard with the fuel rod ejected at him] She's waiting for you!

James Bond: [offering radio; Elektra is startled] Call him off. I won't ask again. Call him off. CALL HIM OFF!

Elektra: [says into the walkie-talkie; to Bond] Renard. You wouldn't kill me. You'd miss me.

Renard: [from the walkie-talkie] Yes?

Elektra: [Bond shoots her and she falls into her bed, dead. M sees the aftermath] Dive! Bo-

Bond: [coldly] I never miss.

Elektra King: I could have given you the world.

James Bond: The world is not enough.

King: Foolish sentiment.

Bond: [[On Her Majesty's Secret Service (film)|Family motto] ].

Elektra King: [to Renard as she announces that she has captured M for him] Your present, courtesy of the late Mr. Bond.

Renard: My executioner.

M: Overpraise, I'm afraid. But my people will finish the job.

King: Your people? Your people will leave you here to rot. Just like you left me- you and my father.

M: Your father wasn't...

King: [leaves] My father was nothing! The kingdom he stole from my mother, the kingdom I will rightly take back.

M: I hope you're proud of what you did to her.

Renard: I'm afraid it is you who deserve credit. When I took her, she was promise itself. And then you left her at the mercy of a man like me. You made that happen. For what? To get to me? She's worth fifty of me.

M: For once, I agree with you.

Renard: [Renard reaches for an alarm clock and holds it in his hands] Yes. And now we both share a common fate. You will die along with everyone in the city. Along with the bright, starry, oil driven future of the West. Since you sent your men to kill me, I've been watching time tick away, marching towards my own death. Now you can have the same pleasure. Watch these hands, M. By noon tomorrow, your time is up. And I guarantee you, I will not miss.

Dr. Christmas Jones: Do you wanna explain why you did that? I could have stopped that bomb! You almost killed us!

James Bond: I did kill us. She thinks we're dead and she thinks she got away with it.

Jones: Do you want to put that in English for those of us who don't speak spy? Who's she?

Bond: Elektra King.

Jones: Well, why would she blow up her own pipeline?

Bond: It makes her look innocent. The explosion covers up the theft of the plutonium... and they make it look like a terrorist attack.

Jones: [takes a tin of plutonium out of her bag] But why leave this half?

Bond: So there's enough to spread around to cover up for the part that they did take.

Jones: But what are they gonna do with the other half? Its not enough to make a nuclear bomb.

Bond: You're the scientist; you tell me.

Jones: I don't know... but the world's greatest terrorist running around with six kilos of weapons-grade plutonium can't be good. I have to get it back, or somebody's gonna have my ass.

Bond: First things first.

James Bond: [grabs Renard and holds him at gunpoint] Expecting Davidov? He caught a bullet instead of the plane. Get off and keep your mouth shut!

Renard: You can't kill me. I'm already dead.

Bond: Not dead enough for me.

Renard: You could show a little gratitude. I did spare your life at the banker's office. That's right; I couldn't kill you, you were working for me. You delivered the money, killed King and now you've brought me the plane.

Bond: What's your plan for the bomb?!

Renard: You first. Or could it be you don't have a plan?

Bond: That bomb will never leave this room!

Renard: Neither will you. How sad…to be threatened by a man who can't grasp what he's involved in.

Bond: Revenge is not hard to fathom for a man who believes in nothing.

Renard: [pulls away from Bond] And what do you believe in? Preservation of capital? Go ahead. Shoot me. I welcome it. My men will hear the shot and kill you.

Bond: And the firefight will bring down half the army from above.

Renard: But when a certain phone call isn't made in twenty minutes, Elektra dies.

Bond: You're bluffing.

Renard: She's beautiful, isn't she? You should have had her before, when she was innocent. How does it feel to know that I broke her in for you?

Bond: [as he puts the silencer on his P99] I usually hate killing an unarmed man. Cold-blooded murder is a filthy business.

Renard: A man tires of being executed.

Bond: But in your case, I feel nothing, just like you.

R: Now, I daresay, 007, that you've met your match with this machine.

James Bond: [Putting on some nearby shades, that are really x-ray glasses] Yeah? New model, improved specs?

R: I thought you were on the Inactive roster; some kind of injury?

James Bond: Yes, well, we'll see about that. So...

R: As I was saying, the very latest in interception countermeasures. Titanium armor, a multi-tasking heads-up display, and six beverage cup holders. All in all, rather stocked.

Q: Fully loaded," I think is the term.

R: I think–

Q: You're not here to think, you're here to do what I tell you. Now, go put on the coat and demonstrate it for 007.

R: [Puts on the snow jacket] But of course. Now, watch closely, please, 007. The right arm goes in the right sleeve, thus, and the left arm in the left sleeve, thus. Now, note closely, please: pockets, poppers, and zipper. Take the lower part of the zipper, and insert it into the–

Q: [Q and Bond give a look to each other; Pulls a tag on the front of the jacket] Oh, pull the tag!

R: [An inflatable self-closing ball inflates out of the back of the jacket, then wraps around R. He falls and rolls around blindly, stuck in the ball] Oh! But you said–! Oooh! Q! Ooof!

James Bond: [Q chuckles and goes to a nearby platform] He seems well-suited for the job. Now, you're not retiring anytime soon...are you?

Q: Now, pay attention 007. I've always tried to teach you two things. First, never let them see you bleed.

Bond: And the second?

Q: [presses button and the platform lowers itself, and Q, into the floor] Always have an escape plan.

Bond: I suppose we all have to pay the piper sometime, right, Q?

Q: Oh, pipe down, 007.

Bond: Was it something I said?

Q: [points to advanced (and heavily damaged) skiff Bond earlier used; opens pool table. A platform arises, showing a man working on a BMW coupe. Bond and Q walk toward it] No. Something you destroyed: My fishing boat for my retirement, away from you. Now, I want to introduce you to the young fellow I'm grooming to follow me.

Man: [looks at Q and Bond; man has lab gown stuck on the car door; he looks around in confusion. Bond opens it, freeing the lab coat] Oh...

Bond: Helps if you open the door.

Man: Hmm. And you might be?

Q: This is 007!

Bond: If you're Q, does that make him R?

R: Ah yes, the legendary 007 wit, or at least half of it.

Miss Moneypenny: James! Have you brought me a souvenir from your trip? Chocolates? An engagement ring?

James Bond: [gives Miss Moneypenny a cigar tube] I thought you might enjoy one of these.

Miss Moneypenny: [throws the cigar tube in the bin] How romantic. I know exactly where to put that.

Bond: Oh Moneypenny, the story of our relationship: close, but no cigar.
