[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: You can't kill me. I'm already dead.
James Bond: Not dead enough for me.
Renard: You could show a little gratitude. I did spare your life at the banker's office. That's right. I couldn't. You were working for me. You delivered the money, killed King and now you brought me the plane.
James Bond: What's your plan for the bomb?
Renard: You first. Or could it be you don't have a plan?
James Bond: That bomb will never leave this room.
Renard: Neither will you.
[Renard and Bond pause for a moment. At that time, the bomb is being hoisted out of the silo]

Renard: But then again, there's no point living if you can't feel alive?
James Bond: Huh?

[first lines]

James Bond: If you can't trust a Swiss banker, what's the world come to?

Elektra King: You don't take "no" for an answer, do you?
James Bond: No
Elektra King: I hope you know how to ski, then.
James Bond: I came prepared for a cold reception.

Lachaise: I'm giving you the opportunity to walk out with the money, Mr. Bond.
James Bond: I'm giving you the opportunity to walk out with your life.

Elektra King: James! You can't kill me! Not in cold blood!

Elektra King: Pretty thing. You had her too?

[a helicopter slices Bond's BMW in half]
James Bond: Q's not gonna like this!

Colonel Akakievich: [to Bond] Hey! Drop the gun!
James Bond: Keep away, Colonel!

Renard: This is Peter?
Dr. Christmas Jones: Yeah, but he's no atomic scientist.
Renard: [to Akakievich] I suppose you were the one who let him down.
[Renard shoves the photograph at Akakievich and walks towards Bond]
Renard: [to Bond] You had me. But i know you couldn't...
[Renard squeezes Bond's left shoulder. Bond groans with pain]
Renard: ...shoulder the responsibility.
[Renard lets go of Bond's shoulder and starts walking towards the silo entrance]
Renard: [to Akakievich] Now, without any further interruptions, lets proceed.
Colonel Akakievich: Nyet! There are too many new faces around here, including yours. The bomb doesn't move until I am satisfied.
[to the terrorists]
Colonel Akakievich: Hey, all of you, to the surface, now!
[Renard's men open fire at Akakievich's men]

[Zukovzky fixes the "Zukovsky's Finest" logo on his office door]

Zukovsky: Who are you, and how did you get in? I'll call security and congratulate them. Drink?
[the office door moves back, and Bond appears holding a guy at gunpoint]
Zukovsky: Can't you just say a hello, like a normal person?

Zukovsky: [to Chistmas] You know, if I were you, a relationship with a man like that, I wouldn't bet on it.
[Bond tackles Zukovsky and shoves him back into a wall-mounted shelf full of caviar. At that moment, the sound of helicopters surround the skies over the caviar factory]
Zukovsky: Five thousand dollars of Beluga, ruined!
James Bond: That's nothing compared to what a twenty megaton nuclear bomb can do!
Zukovsky: What are you talking about?
Dr. Christmas Jones: We had a nuclear bomb stolen this morning!
James Bond: Renard and Elektra King are working together!
Zukovsky: I didn't know!
James Bond: Well, what do you know?

Renard: No hard feelings, Mr. Bond, but we're even. Soon, you'll feel nothing at all.

James Bond: Where's M?
Elektra King: Soon she'll be everywhere.

R: As I was saying, the very latest in interception countermeasures. Titanium armor. A multi-tasking heads up display. And six beverage cup holders. All in all, rather stocked.
Q: Fully loaded. I think is the term.
R: I think...
Q: You're not here to think. You're here to do what I tell you.

Renard: So beautiful. So smooth. So warm.
[caressing Elektra's naked buttock]

[hands her the transport documents]
Dr. Christmas Jones: Doctor Jones. Christmas Jones, and don't tell me any jokes, I've heard 'em all.
James Bond: I don't know any doctor jokes.
Dr. Christmas Jones: [after looking at the transport documents] This is okay. Take the elevator down the hall. Your friends are already down there.
James Bond: Don't I get some kind of protection?
Dr. Christmas Jones: No, Dr. Arkov. Down there it's all weapons-grade plutonium - reasonably safe. Up here we've got hydrogen bombs that your lab built leaking tritium, which I spent the last six months trying to clean up. So, if you need any protection at all, it's from me. Your friends are waiting for you.
[Bond walks away]
Dr. Christmas Jones: Doctor? Aren't you forgetting?
[Points to a board with badges on it]

James Bond: Molly, I need a clean bill of health. You have to clear me for duty.

James Bond: Ethical?
[removes Warmflash's lab coat]
Dr. Molly Warmflash: Practical. Smart.
James Bond: Well, let's just... skirt the issue, shall we?
[unzips and removes the doctor's skirt]
Dr. Molly Warmflash: You'd have to promise to call me.
[presses down on Bond's broken collar bone]
James Bond: [in pain] Oh.
Dr. Molly Warmflash: This time.
James Bond: Whatever the doctor orders.
[kiss]
Dr. Molly Warmflash: I suppose if you stayed in constant contact.
James Bond: Of course.
[unbuttons and removes Warmflash's shirt]
Dr. Molly Warmflash: If you showed sufficient
[kiss]
Dr. Molly Warmflash: stamina.
[kiss]
Dr. Molly Warmflash: Cut out all kinds of...
[kiss]
James Bond: Strenuous activity?
[kiss]

[to M as she is being held captive by Elektra in Istanbul]

[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.

Q: Oh, grow up 007!

Zukovsky: Oh, look. We have no roof, but at least we have four good walls.
[the factory falls apart]
Zukovsky: The insurance company is NEVER going to believe this!

M: This will not stand. We will not be terrorized by cowards who will murder an innocent man and use us as the tool.

[Holding Bull at gunpoint, Bond enters the casino office and finds Zukovsky with two women]
Zukovsky: Bond, James Bond! Meet Nina and Verushka.
James Bond: Lose the girls, Valentin. We need to talk.
Zukovsky: Why am I suddenly worried that I am not carrying enough insurance, huh? Chill out, James!
[Bond jabs his gun into Bull's chest]
Zukovsky: Fine, ladies. Go on, beat it. Scram. Bull, give them an inch.
[Bull gives each woman a bundle of cash, and the three of them start to leave]
Zukovsky: And make sure they lose it in this casino, huh?
Bull: I'll see you later, Mr. Bond.
James Bond: [sees Bull has a mouthful of gold teeth] I see you put your money where your mouth is.
Zukovsky: Mr. Bullion does not trust banks.

James Bond: I suppose we all have to pay the piper sometime. Right, Q?
Q: Oh, pipe down, 007!
James Bond: Was it something I said?
Q: No, something you destroyed. My fishing boat! For my retirement, away from you!

James Bond: Give me the name.
Lachaise: I can't do that.
James Bond: [pointing his gun to Lachaise] Let's count to three. You can do that, can't you?

James Bond: [about the bomb in the pipeline] You've defused hundreds of these, right?
Dr. Christmas Jones: Yeah, but they're usually standing still.
James Bond: Yes, well, life is full of small challenges.

[having shot down a glider]
James Bond: See you back at the lodge. Heh.

Elektra King: Shall we?
James Bond: Elektra, this is a game I can't afford to play.
Elektra King: I know.

M: I thought we had time on our side.
James Bond: You used the girl as bait.
M: Yes.

Bill Tanner: His only goal is chaos.

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.

Elektra King: You ski very well, Mr. Bond.
James Bond: You seem to enjoy being chased. Probably happens all the time.
Elektra King: Less often than you might think.

Elektra King: I can't breathe! I can't breathe! I can't breathe!
James Bond: Elektra!
Elektra King: I can't breathe!
James Bond: Elektra! Look at me. Look at me! Look at my eyes. Look at my eyes. Look at my eyes! - You're alright. Everything's alright. Trust me. Okay?
