General Georgi Koskov
The sniper was a woman.
James Bond
I noticed.
Koskov
Some of the best KGB shots are women.
Bond
Um-hum.
Koskov
Did you...
Bond
I'd rather not talk about it.

James Bond
Cheer up, Saunders. The operation's a success. And officially, its still yours.
Saunders
I have no intention of leaving it at that, 007! I'm reporting to M that you deliberately missed! Your orders were to kill that sniper!
Bond
Stuff my orders! I only kill professionals. That girl didn't know one end of a rifle from the other. Go ahead, tell M what you want. If he fires me, I'll thank him for it. Whoever she was, it must've scared the living daylights out of her.
James Bond
I need to use your phone. [Into phone] She'll call you back.
Linda
Who are you?
Bond
Bond, James Bond. [Into phone] Exercise Control, 007 here. I'll report in an hour.
Linda
[Offering drink]
Won't you join me?
Bond
[Into phone]
Better make that two.
James Bond
What did you tell them?
Kamran Shah
I tell them you not Russian. They no kill you now.
Kara Milovy
Not now? How about later?
Bond
Don't worry, they'll save you for the hareem.
General Georgi Koskov
[As General Koskov and Necros bring Bond and Kara to Afghanistan]
I'm sorry, James. For you I have great affection, but we have an old saying: duty has no sweethearts.
James Bond
We have an old saying too, Georgi. And you're full of it.
Kara Milovy
[Bond and Kara have successfully defeated the guards at a Soviet airbase's brig]
You were fantastic. [Embraces Bond] We're free.
James Bond
Kara, we're inside a Russian airbase in the middle of Afghanistan.
Leonid Pushkin
[Bond confronts General Pushkin over Koskov's claims about him reactivating the Smiert Spionam directive]
You are professional. You do not kill without reason.
James Bond
Two of our men are dead. Koskov named you. Now why should I disobey my orders?
Pushkin
I am in the dark as much as you are. It is a question of trust. Who do you believe? Koskov, or me?
Bond
If I trusted Koskov we wouldn't be talking. As long as you're alive, we'll never know what he's up to.
Pushkin
Then I must die.
Leonid Pushkin
[General Pushkin and his men raid Whitaker's house and also capture General Koskov]
Put him on the next plane to Moscow...
General Georgi Koskov
Oh, thank you General, thank you so much...
Pushkin
...in the diplomatic bag. [Soviet troops haul off a startled Koskov]
Brad Whitaker
[General Pushkin visits arms dealer Brad Whitaker] [Referring to his life-size statues of famous military commanders]
How do you like my personal pantheon of great commanders?
Leonid Pushkin
Butchers.
Whitaker
Surgeons. They cut away society's dead flesh.
Linda
[[At a yacht just off Gibraltar] [into phone]
It's all so boring here, Margo - there's nothing but playboys and tennis pros. [Sighs] If only I could find a real man.
]James Bond, having just dispatched an assassin in a burning truck in mid-air, lands on the boat with a smoldering parachute
Brad Whitaker
That's too bad, Bond. You could've been a live rich man, instead of a poor dead one.
[Bond and Kara have just escaped the Soviet airbase, and Kamran Shah saves them on the way out. He talks to two men in a different language
