Gustav Graves: You couldn't possibly imagine.

James Bond: Oh, good. I'm glad to hear that.

Reporter: Are you going to try out for the British fencing team? We hear you have been training furiously.

Gustav Graves: I never get furious. As we say in fencing, "What's the point?"

James Bond: Zao, I've been traded. Your time will come.

Zao: Yes, but not as soon as yours.

[Takes a diamond out of Jinx's belly button]

James Bond: Especially when you're bad.

James Bond: What are you, CIA?

Jinx: NSA. Hello, we're on the same side.

James Bond: Doesn't mean we're after the same thing.

Jinx: Aw, ornithologist, huh? Wow. Now there's a mouthful.

James Bond: You know, I've missed your sparkling personality.

Falco: You were supposed to throw away the key, not leave the door wide open.

M: Are you saying I had a hand in his escape?

Falco: Well, he did get away real fast.

M: Well that is what he is trained to do...

Zao: Why are you trying to kill me?

Jinx: I thought it was the humane thing to do.

Miranda Frost: I'll show you your room.

James Bond: A palace of ice; you must feel right at home.

[In greeting]

Miranda Frost: Mr. Bond. And Miss...?

Jinx: Swift, "Space and Technology" magazine.

Miranda Frost: Really? I take it Mr. Bond's been explaining his Big Bang theory?

Jinx: Oh yeah, I think I got the thrust of it.

James Bond: Check the tape. You'll find he's dead and she only has a flesh wound.

Mr. Chang: Ah, Mr Bond, a little thank you from us.

[James activates the jet pack, and Q struggles to subdue it]

Raul: We may have lost the Revolution, but our health system is second to none.

[He holds up a book about birds written by his namesake and a pair of binoculars]

[Bond and Moneypenny embrace and kiss. Bond lays Moneypenny out on her desk]

Miss Moneypenny: Oh, James...

[Continue kissing, when all of a sudden...]

Q: [walking in] Moneypenny?

[Moneypenny sits up abruptly and removes a pair of virtual reality simulation centre glasses]

Miss Moneypenny: Um... I was... um... just testing it out.

M: You had your cyanide...

James Bond: Threw it away years ago...

M: What did you find in Cuba?

James Bond: A clinic specializing in gene therapy - new identities courtesy of DNA transplants.

M: A self-called beauty parlour... We heard rumours of such a place - I didn't think it even existed!

James Bond: It doesn't any more...

Gustav Graves: We only met briefly, but you left a lasting impression. You see, when your intervention forced me to present the world with a new face, I chose to model the disgusting Gustav Graves on you. Oh, just in the details - that unjustifiable swagger, the crass quips, the self-defence mechanism concealing such inadequacy...

James Bond: [holding up his Walther P99] My self-defence mechanism's right here.

Falco: [Icarus is destroying the minefield in the DMZ] The moment that thing hits the 38th parallel, we're going to launch everything we have at it!

[Picks up Tankbuster]

Colonel Moon: Our new tankbuster. Depleted uranium shells, naturally.

James Bond: Naturally.

General Moon: Fifty years after the superpowers carved Korea in two... and then you arrive. A British spy. It's proved the hardliners correct, that we cannot trust the west. And you... you took away my son!

James Bond: Your firing squad there should have done the job for me.

Jinx: [to Bond, regarding Miranda Frost's body]

Jinx: I think I broke her heart.

Miranda Frost: [door opens; Jinx kicks Zao in the face] Ooh! Yeah, nice moves just like Bond. He was pretty vigorous last night as well.

Jinx: He did you? I didn't know he was that desperate.

Miranda Frost: Well, he's not coming back for you. He just died running, trying to save his own skin. Yeah.

[attempts to touch the leather of Jinx's jacket but Jinx pushes her away]

Miranda Frost: Oh, that's pretty good tailoring. I hope it doesn't shrink when it gets wet.

Air Hostess: Your drink, sir.

James Bond: Lucky I asked for it shaken.

James Bond: You think I haven't always known you're Chinese intelligence, Chang?

Mr. Chang: Hong Kong's our turf now, Bond!

James Bond: Don't worry, I'm not here to take it back. Put your hands down.

Mr. Chang: What the hell do you want?

James Bond: Just to help you settle a score. Zao killed three of your men. You get me into North Korea, I'll take care of him for you.

Mr. Chang: What's in it for you?

James Bond: A chance to get even.

Colonel Moon: How do you propose to kill me know, Mr. Bond? It's pathetic! 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.

James Bond: Then you and I have something in common.

James Bond: Perhaps you could send up my tailor and some food.

Mr. Chang: The lobster's good - with quails eggs and sliced seaweed.

James Bond: Mm-hmm. And if there's any left, eh, '61 Bollinger.

Mr. Chang: Of course.

James Bond: Nothing to see till the morning. Not out there anyway.

Jinx: So, what do predators do - when the sun goes down?

James Bond: They feast - like there's no tomorrow.

Jinx: Are you always this frisky?

James Bond: I've been missing the touch of a good woman.

Jinx: [Jokingly pulls out a knife] Who says I'm good?

M: Well, it seems you've become useful again.

James Bond: Hmm, then maybe it's time you let me get on with my job.

Q: [after a virtual reality shootout exercise] Forgive my mentioning 007 but a perfect marksman isn't really supposed to shoot his own boss.

James Bond: Check the replay. You'll find he's dead and she's only got a flesh wound.

Q: There's always an excuse, isn't there, 00-zero.

Q: Now, a new watch. This should be your 20th, I believe.

James Bond: How time flies.

Q: Yes, well 007, why don't you establish a record by actually returning this one.

M: In your three years in Cryptology, you've managed to keep business and pleasure separate. You haven't fraternized with any of your fellow agents - despite several advances.

Miranda Frost: I think it would be foolish to get involved with someone within the community - especially James Bond.

Gustav Graves: Glad you could make it, Mr. Bond. How did you like my run?

James Bond: Like a man on the edge of losing control.

Gustav Graves: It's only by being on the edge that we know who we really are, under the skin.

Gustav Graves: He died chasing a dream. Isn't that the way to go?

James Bond: I'd rather not go at all.

Miranda Frost: Mr. Bond.

James Bond: Aw, Miss Frost.

Miranda Frost: I'll show you your room.

James Bond: A palace of ice! You must feel right at home.

Jinx: Sorry I left you in an explosive situation. You're a big boy. I figured you could handle it yourself.

James Bond: No wonder your relationships don't last.

Jinx: I'm a girl that just doesn't like to get tied down.

Miranda Frost: [Grabs Bond and kisses him] M warned me this would happen.

James Bond: That's why you tried so hard not to be interested in me.

Miranda Frost: Oh God, you're even worse than your file says.

James Bond: [Being observed by Graves Security Guards] They don't look too convinced. Come on, put your back into it.

[Kisses Miss Frost]

Miranda Frost: James, be careful.

James Bond: Go back to your room. I'll come back for you.

General Moon: I don't know you.

Gustav Graves: You always found it difficult to accept me. That made my exile easier to bear, but, I never forgot what you taught me: In war, the victorious strategist only seeks battle...

General Moon, Gustav Graves: After the victory has been won.

Gustav Graves: You see, father, I remember my Art of War.
