You're nineteen days older than I am.

You're nineteen days older than I am.

Nineteen days is the life span of a wasp.

Children are feral. They sense your anxiety.

We come full circle.

Yes ... the end of all our exploring, Will be to arrive where we started, And know the place for the first time.

Ah, that's lovely Martin. Did you just think of that?

No, it's T.S. Eliot.

Oh well never mind. It's still very nice.

And after I had the sex, I thought anything that feels so lovely must be wrong.

Fucking Catholics.

My Dad went to Catholic school and got my Mom pregnant. He married her. She hated me. She beat me. I wish she would have given me up for adoption.

I did not abandon my child, he was taken away from me.

If God were in there, he'd say you were a fucking idiot!

If God were in there, he'd say you were a feckin' eejit!

I forgive you because I don't want to remain angry.

Is it our friend we are grieving for, whose life we knew so little? Or is it our own loss that we are mourning? Have we traveled far enough that we can allow our tears to fall?

When someone dies, you think about your own life. And I don't want to grow older. I don't want to be condescended to. To become marginalized and ignored by society. I don't want to be the first person they let off the plane in a hostage crisis. [chuckles]

Didn't you have a girlfriend?

She is my girlfriend no longer.

This is a disaster.

No, no. Then we must treat it just the same as we would treat a triumph, madam. Is that not what your Mr. Kipling tells us? Although, of course, here we have a problem, because I, Sunil Indrajit Kapoor, have never had a triumph. So, of course, I do not know how to treat one. No, all I've had is a constant series of disasters interspersed with occasional catastrophe, an unending stream of total...

What's the use of a marriage when nothing is shared?

Can there be anywhere else in the world that is such an assault on the senses? Those who know the country of old just go about their business. But nothing can prepare the uninitiated for this riot of noise and color. For the heat, the motion; the perpetual teeming crowds.

[about their new environment] Initially you're overwhelmed. But gradually you realize it's like a wave. Resist, and you'll be knocked over. Dive into it, and you'll swim out the other side.

The person who risks nothing, does nothing. Has nothing.

I invested our, well, my retirement money in our daughter's Internet company. She assured me that as soon as the startup actually, um, started up and the conversion from virtual to actual became sufficiently viable, then she'd be able to pay it all back.

I'm not sure I understand what most of those words mean.

Well, it turns out neither did she.

Yes [It is builder's tea] , we dunk biscuits into it.

Yes, we dunk biscuits into it.

Dunk?

Means lowering the biscuit into the tea and letting it soak in there and trying to calculate the exact moment before the biscuit dissolves, when you whip it up into your mouth and enjoy the blissful union of biscuits and tea combined. It's more relaxing than it sounds.

Nothing here has worked out quite as I expected.

Most things don't. But sometimes what happens instead is the good stuff.

And Bond, if you could avoid killing every possible lead it would be deeply appreciated.

Yes ma'am, I'll do my best.

I've heard that before.

The prime minister's talked to Moscow. They're saying it was 'an accident during a routine training exercise.

Goverments change. The lies stay the same.

He was a dead end.

My God. He's killed him!

Christ, I miss the Cold War!

Mr. van Damm, you are Jewish.

I'm bored with widowhood...I have to smile at everybody. I've never had to smile at everybody. In India there were always people to look down on.

People are merely being sympathetic. After all, you have lost your husband.

I didn't mislay him. It was most inconsiderate of Robert to die. What on earth am I supposed to do now?

The first rule of widowhood, my dear. Important conversations occur at lunch.

I need you to come in and debrief.

I don't have time.

You killed a man in Bregenz.

I did my best not to.

You shot him at point blank and threw him off a roof. I'd hardly call that showing restraint. Especially since he was a member of Special Branch.

"But perhaps what we fear is that it will be the same, so we must celebrate the changes, because, as someone once said, everything will be all right in the end, and if it's not all right, then trust me..."

But perhaps what we fear is that it will be the same, so we must celebrate the changes, because, as someone once said, everything will be all right in the end, and if it's not all right, then trust me...

I'm going to say a word, and I want you to say the first word that comes into your head. For example, if I say, 'day', you say...?

Wasted.

Agent?

Provocateur.

Woman?

Provocatrix.

M?

Bitch.

Every now and then a trigger has to be pulled.

Every now and then a trigger has to be pulled.

Or not pulled. It's hard to know which in your pajamas.

For gods sake, just get out of the way.

And Bond, if you could avoid killing every possible lead it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, ma'am. I'll do my best.

...I've heard that before.

God, I miss the Cold War.

Never speak disrespectfully of Society,Algernon. Only people who can't get in do that.

To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing may be regarded as misfortune. To lose both can be regarded as more like carelessness.

The whole theory of modern education is unsound.Fortunately, in England in a any case, education produces no effect what-so-ever.

Well, I must say, I think it was high time Mr. Bunberry made up his mind if he was going to live or die. This shilly-shallying over the question is absurd.

One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield

One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Are you gonna complain the whole way?

Go on then. Eject me. See if I care.

Quoting Tennyson's poem Ulysses: Though much is taken, much abides, and though we are not now that strength which in old days, moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Regret is unprofessional.

Bond...It's good to have you back.

Bond... It's good to have you back.

Bond? I need you back.

I never left.

Take the bloody shot!

Where the hell have you been?

Enjoying death.

"The only real failure is the failure to try, and the measure of success is how we cope with disappointment"

The only real failure is the failure to try, and the measure of success is how we cope with disappointment.

What's going on?

It's hard to explain.

Are you taking me hostage?

You could call it that.

Where the hell have you been?!

Where the hell have you been?

Enjoying death.

Ready to get Back to work?

Ready to get back to work?

With Pleasure.

007 Reporting For Duty.

007 reporting for duty.

Why Didn't You Call?

Why didn't you call?

You Didn't Get The Postcard?

You didn't get the postcard?

Bond, where have you been?

Cottaging, and?

Must be a pretty cold bastard who didn't want the revenge for the death of someone he loved.

You don't have to worry about me. I'm not going to chase after him, he's not important... and neither was she.

007 reporting for duty.

WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!

Enjoying death.

You've got a bloody cheek!

Sorry I'll shoot the camera first next time

Or yourself. You stormed into an Embassy. You violated the only absolutely inviolate rule of international relations, and why? So you could kill a nobody. We wanted to question him, not to kill him! For God's sake! You're supposed to display some kind of judgement.

I did. I thought one less bomb maker in the world would be a good thing.

Exactly. One bomb maker. We're trying to figure out how an entire network of terrorist groups is financed and you give us one bomb maker. Hardly the big picture, wouldn't you say? The man isn't even a true believer. He's a gun for hire. And thanks to your overtly developed trigger finger, we have no idea who hired him or why. And how the hell did you find out where I live?!

The same way I found out your name. I thought "M" was randomly assigned. I had no idea it stood for-

Utter one more syllable and I'll have you killed. I knew it was too early to promote you

Well, I understand double-0s have a very short life-expectancy. so your mistake will be short-lived.

Bond, this may be too much for a blunt instrument to understand, .but arrogance and self-awareness seldom go hand in hand

So you want me to be half monk, half hit-man?

I have to know I can trust you, and that you know who to trust. And since I don't know that, I need you out of my sight. Go and stick your head in the sand somewhere...and think about your future.Because these bastards want your head. And I'm seriously considering feeding you to them. And Bond......don't ever break into my house again.

Ma'am.

First love is sweet despair

First love is sweet despair.

But it's also true that the person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing. All we know about the future is that it will be different. But perhaps what we fear is that it will be the same. So we must celebrate the changes.

I need a glass of water, glug glug, that was a gin and tonic.... I know that now.

First love is such a sweet despair, Colin.

India is an assault on the senses. Itâ??s like a wave; resist and you go under, ride it out and you arrive at the others side.

None of the rest of us truly know how to act for the camera, but you do. It's a rare gift.

So it's a shadow operation?

Just remember that shadows stay in front or behind...never on top.

Well, I am glad I was such an aphrodisiac.

You're so little acquainted with men. Keep him at a distance.

I'd rather have a dead son than a daffodil.

You have a very small garden, Madame.

Edgar, you will rise to be the most powerful man in this country.

You expect it to be hyperbole, florist's use that expression!

When someone says 'We've got people everywhere', you expect it to be hyperbole! Lots of people say that. Florists use that expression.

Directing a movie is a very overrated job, we all know it. You just have to say yes or no. What else do you do? Nothing. "Maestro, should this be red?" Yes. "Green?" No. "More extras?" Yes. "More lipstick?" No. Yes. No. Yes. No. That's directing.

Who the hell is this organisation Bond? How can they be everywhere and we know nothing about them!

Who the hell is this organization, Bond? How can they be everywhere and we know nothing about them!

So you want me to be half-monk, half-hitman.

Any thug can kill. I need you to take your ego out of the equation.
