James Bond: This is no place for you, Q. Go home.

Kwang: We're Hong Kong Narcotics, you BASTARD!

[grabs Bond]

Kwang: Sanchez is taking us to the heart of his operations. I've been setting it up for years!

[menacingly]

Kwang: I just hope that little stunt of yours hasn't scared him off!

Truman-Lodge: But we've got a deal with the Orientals. We've got their money.

Franz Sanchez: I said GO HELP HELLER!

Pam Bouvier: [Mocking Lupe Lamora] "I love James so much."

Ed Killifer: What?

Franz Sanchez: Two million.

Milton Krest: You caused us all a lot of trouble, young lady.

Lupe Lamora: You're borracho. Go to bed.

Milton Krest: You better watch yourself, girlie. I've known him a long time. I've seen a lot of girls like you come - and go.

Lupe Lamora: You're drunk. Get out! And stop peeking through my windows.

James Bond: Who whipped you? Sanchez?

Lupe Lamora: It was my fault. I did something wrong, made him angry.

Pam Bouvier: Just fly me in and leave. $50,000.

Lupe Lamora: Nothing. Now go.

James Bond: Take me to him.

Lupe Lamora: You loco? You'll get us both killed.

James Bond: Your job's done. Take Q and fly out of here now. I'll make my own way back.

Pam Bouvier: I'd like to stay.

James Bond: No. I work better alone.

James Bond: I used to work for the British government. We kept dossiers on such people.

Franz Sanchez: British agent. I knew it. You have class.

Pam Bouvier: Aren't you coming?

James Bond: No. They'll be after me. It'll be safer on my own.

Lupe Lamora: What's gonna happen to us?

James Bond: Don't worry. When this is all over, I'll make sure you get back home.

Lupe Lamora: Home? It took me 15 years to get away from there. I don't wanna go back. Can't we leave together? I'll be safe with you.

[kiss]

James Bond: No, Lupe. I don't think that would work out.

Lupe Lamora: How can we tell unless we try?

[kiss]

Lupe Lamora: I think it's gonna work out very well.

[kiss]
