Quotes
-
Blofeld : Why did you come?
James Bond : I came here to kill you.
Blofeld : And I thought you came here to die.
James Bond : Well, it's all a matter of perspective.
-
Blofeld : It was all me, James. It's always been me. The author of all your pain.
-
Blofeld : Welcome, James. It's been a long time... and, finally, here we are. What took you so long?
-
Blofeld : Do you know what it is?
Madeleine : It's a meteorite.
Blofeld : Yes, exactly. The Kartenhoff, the oldest in human possession. The very meteorite which made this crater. Think about it: so many years up there, alone, silent, building momentum until it chose to make its mark on Earth. A huge unstoppable force.
James Bond : Except it did stop, didn't it? Right here.
-
Blofeld : You came across me so many times and yet you never saw me. Le Chiffre, Greene, Silva...
James Bond : All dead.
Blofeld : That's right. A nice pattern developed. You interfered in my world, I destroyed yours. Or did you think it was coincidence that all the women in your life ended up dead?
-
Blofeld : [to Bond] Cuckoo!
-
Blofeld : I've really put you through a lot, haven't I? Well, that's brothers for you: they always know which buttons to press.
-
James Bond : You're a hard man to kill, Blofeld.
[notices his scar]
James Bond : Ouch. I do hope that doesn't hurt too much.
Blofeld : My wounds will heal. What about yours?
-
Oberhauser : [stroking a white cat] Franz Oberhauser died twenty years ago, James, in an avalanche alongside his father. A man you're talking to now, a man inside your head, is Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
-
Blofeld : Goodbye, James Bond.
-
Blofeld : You know what happens when a cuckoo hatches inside another bird's nest?
Madeleine Swann : Yes. It forces the other eggs out.
Blofeld : Yes. Well, this cuckoo made me realize my father's life had to end. In a way he's responsible for the path I took...
[to Bond]
Blofeld : So thank you, cuckoo!
-
Blofeld : The things that bring people together. Out of horror, beauty.
-
Blofeld : Torture is easy, on a superficial level. A man can watch himself being disemboweled and derive great horror from the experience, but it's still going on at a distance. It isn't taking place where it is. As you know all too well, dear Madeleine, a man lives inside his head. That's where the seed of his soul is. James and I were both present recently when a man was deprived of his eyes and the most astonishing thing happened, didn't you notice? He wasn't there anymore. He had gone even though he was still alive, so this brief moment between life and death, there was nobody inside his skull. Most odd.

[Bond points a gun at Blofeld]
Blofeld : Finish it... Finish it!
James Bond : [removes clip from gun] Out of bullets.
[looks over at Madeleine]
James Bond : And besides, I've got something better to do.
-
James Bond : [Oberhauser shows Madeleine footage of Mr. White committing suicide] No, no, no. Turn it off. Turn it off.
Oberhauser : This is important.
James Bond : I said turn it off!
[a SPECTRE member hits Bond in the leg]
-
Blofeld : [about C] He's a visionary, like me.
James Bond : Visionaries... Psychiatric wards are full of them.
-
James Bond : [whispers to Madeleine] One minute. One minute.
Blofeld : Did he say something?
James Bond : Tempus fugit.
Blofeld : What?
James Bond : Tempus fugit.
Blofeld : I can't hear you, James.
James Bond : I said, doesn't time fly?
[Madeleine tosses the watch to Blofeld and it explodes, destroying the torture machine and knocking Blofeld unconscious]
-
Madeleine Swann : I love you...
Oberhauser : Do those blue eyes still recognize you?
James Bond : I'd recognize you anywhere.
-
Oberhauser : [Bond is strapped to a torture chair with a drill attached] So James, I'm going to penetrate to where you are. To the inside of your head. Now the first probe will play with your sight, your hearing, and your balance, just with the subtlest of manipulations.
James Bond : Well, get on with it then. Nothing can be as painful as listening to you talk.
Oberhauser : All right, let's begin.
[activates the machine]
-
Blofeld : You see, they failed to comprehend the crucial fact that a terrible event can lead to something wonderful.
-
[final battle]
James Bond : [after shooting at a bulletproof glass which form the SPECTRE logo] You're a hard man to kill, Blofeld.
[looks at Blofeld's scar]
James Bond : Ouch. I do hope that doesn't hurt too much.
Blofeld : My wounds will heal. What about yours? Look around you, James, look. This is what's left of your world. Everything you've ever stood for, everything you believed in, a ruin.
James Bond : Why are we here? Did you miss me?
Blofeld : No.
[blows into the glass]
Blofeld : But I know someone who does.
[makes a heart sign out of the air]
James Bond : [referring to Madeleine] Where is she?
Blofeld : That's for you to find out.
[activates a time bomb on the wall]
Blofeld : In 3 minutes, this building will be demolished. Well, I can get out easily. Now, you have a choice. Die trying to save her or save yourself and live with the pain.
James Bond : You're bluffing.
Blofeld : Am I?
[after a brief pause, Blofeld chuckles]
Blofeld : I've really put you through it, haven't I? Well, that's brothers for you. They always know which buttons to press.
[starts the time bomb then flees, Bond runs off]
-
Blofeld : If the needle finds the correct spot in the fusiform gyrus, you recognize no one. Of course the faces of your women like to change a lot, right James? You won't know who she is. Just another passing face on your way to the grave.
