 * I am the Supreme Commander of SPECTRE, Special Executive for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. Yesterday morning, the American Air Force launched two cruise missiles from Swadley Air Base in Great Britain. Through the ingenuity of SPECTRE, the dummy warheads they carried were replaced with live, nuclear warheads. Your weapons of destruction are now safely in our possession and will be moved to two secret targets. Please note the serial numbers of the missiles; they will confirm the truth. Your weapons of deterrence did not deter us from our objective! A terrible catastrophe now confronts you. However, it can be avoided by paying a tribute to our organization, amounting to twenty-five percent of your respective countries' annual oil purchases. We have accomplished two of the functions that the name SPECTRE embodies: terrorism and extortion. If our demands are not met within seven days, we shall ruthlessly apply the third: revenge!

Dialogue

 * Q: Good to see you Mr Bond, things have been awfully dull around here...Now you're on this, I hope we're going to have some gratuitous sex and violence!
 * James Bond: I certainly hope so too.


 * M: Too many free radicals. That's your problem.
 * James Bond: "Free radicals," sir?
 * M: Yes. They're toxins that destroy the body and the brain, caused by eating too much red meat and white bread and too many dry martinis!
 * James Bond: Then I shall cut out the white bread, sir.
 * M: Oh, you'll do more than that, 007. From now on you will suffer a strict regimen of diet and exercise; we shall purge those toxins from you!
 * James Bond: Shrublands?
 * M: You got it!


 * [Fatima Blush lands in James Bond's arms when she water-skis up the ramp to the bar]
 * Fatima Blush: Oh, how reckless of me. I made you all wet.
 * James Bond: Yes, but my martini is still dry. My name is James.


 * Maximilian Largo: Are you a man who enjoys games?
 * James Bond: Depends with whom I'm playing.


 * Maximilian Largo: Do you lose as gracefully as you win?
 * James Bond: I don't know, I've never lost.


 * James Bond: Is it far to the reef?
 * Fatima Blush: It's far enough. We've got time to kill.

 Before killing Bond, Fatima Blush uses her gun to force James Bond to write that the greatest love experience was with her:
 * James Bond: I just remembered ..I'm Not allowed to give out endorsements...
 * [Bond uses the comment to distract Fatima Long enough to shot at her with a pen-gun. She shoots at him and misses. The pen-gun projectile seems to fail..only red ink appears on her blouse.]
 * Fatima Blush: [Laughs] Guess where the next shot is...
 * [Before Fatima can shoot him, the projectile detonates, killing her.]
 * James Bond: "Not...Perfected...Yet...????
