Dialogue
edit- M: Moneypenny, where's 007?
- Moneypenny: He's on a mission sir. In Austria.
- M: Well, tell him to pull out. Immediately.
- [scene cuts to Bond making love to a woman]
- Q: Right. Now pay attention, 007. I want you to take great care of this equipment. There are one or two rather special accessories...
- James Bond: Q, have I ever let you down?
- Q: Frequently.
- Stromberg: Well gentlemen, now that the moment has come to bid you farewell, I congratulate both you, Doctor, and you, Professor, on your brilliant work in the development of the submarine tracking system. Thanks primarily to you, I am happy to say that the first phase of our operation has met with considerable success. I have instructed my assistant to have paid into your Swiss bank account the sum of ten million dollars each.
- Prof. Markovitz: Thank you, sir.
- Dr. Bechmann: Thank you indeed.
- Stromberg: And that, I think, concludes our business. Before you go, however, I very much regret to inform you that a dangerous development has recently been brought to my notice. Someone has been attempting to sell the plans of our tracking project to competing world powers; someone intimately associated with the project. [to his pretty young blonde assistant] My dear, it would perhaps be more seemly if you were to leave us. Thank you. [The young woman leaves and goes to an elevator. A trap opens under her and she is plunged into a shark tank, while Stromberg and the professors are watching her punishment on a screen] It was you who betrayed me!
- Assistant: No!
- Stromberg: You had access to all the information. And now you will pay the penalty. [closes the screen, leaving the assistant to her horrible death; to professors] Once again, gentlemen, my most profound thanks.

- Major Anya Amasova: You're sensitive, Mr. Bond?
- James Bond: In some cases, yes.
- James Bond: [Amasova has just used a Bond car gadget to kill an enemy] How did you know about that?
- Major Anya Amasova: I stole the blueprints to this car two years ago.
- [After discovering Bond killed her lover]
- Bond: In our business, Anya, people get killed. We both know that. So did he. It was either him or me. The answer to the question is yes. I did kill him.
- Anya: Then when this mission is over, I will kill you.
