Quotes9

  • James Bond: Construction isn't exactly my speciality.
  • M: Quite the opposite, in fact.
  • [Elektra escorts Renard to a cell in Maiden's Tower where M is being held captive]
  • 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.
  • Elektra King: Your people? Your people will leave you here to rot. Just like you left me- you and my father.
  • M: [Getting up from a bench in the cell and walking towards the cell bars] Your father wasn't...
  • Elektra King: [Interrupting M] MY FATHER WAS NOTHING! His kingdom he stole from my mother, the kingdom I will rightly take back.
  • [Elektra walks towards the cell door and leaves. Renard closes the door behind her and walks towards M]
  • 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 ruined her. For what? To get to me? She's worth fifty of me.
  • M: For once, I agree with you.
  • Renard: Yes. And now we also share a common fate. You will die along with everyone in the city.
  • [Renard turns his back and walks towards a table with junk surrounding it]
  • Renard: Along with the bright, starry, oil driven future of the West.
  • [Renard reaches for an alarm clock and holds it in his hands]
  • Renard: Since you sent your men to kill me, I've been watching time tick slowly away, marching towards my own death. Now you can have the same pleasure.
  • [Renard picks up a stool and totes them towards M's cell. He lays the alarm clock on top of the stool points at it]
  • Renard: Watch these hands, M. By noon tomorrow, your time is up. And I guarantee you, I will not miss.
  • M: She doesn't need to know that it's the same man that may be after her. Don't frighten her.
  • Bond: A shadow operation?
  • M: Remember, shadows stay in front or behind - never on top.
  • [after M arrived at the pipleine control centre, Bond and M go into a nearby room]
  • M: I want an update. Where do we stand?
  • James Bond: [giving M the locator card] One of Renard's men removed a locator card from the bomb, so we can't track it. But...
  • M: [cutting Bond off] But what?
  • James Bond: With all due respect, I don't think you should be here.
  • M: May I remind you that YOU'RE the reason I'm here, Double-Oh-Seven. You disobeyed a direct order and left that girl alone.
  • James Bond: Perhaps that girl isn't as innocent as you think.
  • M: What are you saying?
  • James Bond: Supposed the inside man, the one who switched King's lapel pin, turned out to be an inside woman.
  • [M pauses for a moment]
  • M: She kills her father and attacks her own pipeline? Why? To what end?
  • James Bond: I don't know. Yet.
  • M: This will not stand. We will not be terrorized by cowards who will murder an innocent man and use us as the tool.
  • M: I thought we had time on our side.
  • James Bond: You used the girl as bait.
  • M: Yes.
  • M: [Reading Bond's medical report] I see the good doctor has cleared you. Notes you have exceptional stamina.
  • Ms. Moneypenny: I'm sure she was touched by his dedication
  • [walks toward Dr. Molly Warrmflash]
  • Ms. Moneypenny: to the job in hand.
  • M: If there's even the slightest chance, Bond will survive. He's the best we have... though I'd never tell him.
  • M: [the alarm clock had fallen off its perch] What's the time?
  • Elektra King: [places it so that M can see its face] Time for you to die.
