A scene from Die Another Day 2002
Zao
[Bond arrives in Colonel Moon's camp. As he steps off, briefcase in hand, Zao uses his cell phone to snap a picture of Bond]

I am Zao. You are late.

Colonel Moon Tan-Sun

Mr. Van Bierk! I've been looking forward to this meeting.

James Bond

Me, too. [takes off his sunglasses] My African military friends owe you many thanks, Colonel Moon. Few men have the guts to trade conflict diamonds since the UN embargo.

Moon

I know all about the UN. I studied at Oxford and Harvard. Majored in Western hypocrisy. [Bond glances at Colonel Moon's collection of imported sportscars]

Bond

From your modest little collection of cars, I would never have guessed.

Moon

Show me the diamonds.

Bond

Show me the weapons. [Zao picks up his radio]

Zao
[radios in Korean]

Bring the weapons. [The gate opens and several hovercraft enter the compound]

Bond

Hiding weapons in the Demilitarized Zone. That's a bit of a minefield out there.

Moon

America's cultural contribution. One million landmines, and my hovercrafts float right over them.

Moon
[The hovercraft carrying the weapons comes to a stop next to Bond]

RPGs, flamethrowers, automatic weapons, and enough ammunition to run a small war. My diamonds? [Bond starts to hand the briefcase to Moon. Zao grabs it and hands it to Moon's diamond analyst]

Zao
[in Korean]

Check it over, quick. [The analyst opens the briefcase and looks at the diamonds]

Bond

Don't blow it all at once.

Moon

Oh, I have special plans for this consignment. [Zao checks his cell phone and sees Bond's MI6 file on screen. He looks at Colonel Moon, who comes over]

Zao
[whispers]

His name is James Bond, a British assassin. [Colonel Moon thinks about this. A moment later, he turns around and takes off his cap]

Moon

Mr. Van Bierk, let me show you something. [He hops on the hovercraft and is handed an XM29 launcher] Our new tankbuster. Depleted uranium shells, naturally.

James Bond

Naturally.

Moon
[Colonel Moon looks at Bond - and suddenly fires the launcher at Bond's helicopter, which explodes. Zao draws his pistol and holds it to Bond's head. Bond tries to draw his gun but is disarmed by another soldier]

How do you propose to kill me now, Mr. Bond? [Colonel Moon hops off the hovercraft] It's pathetic, that you British still believe you have the right to police the world. But, you will not live to see the day all Korea is ruled by the North.

Bond

Then you and I have something in common.
