I didn't need to kill you; I'd already broken you. I wanted to give you an empty world, like the one you gave me. It's enough to almost make me regret it. Almost.
Pardon?
Most scenes together: James Bond & Madeline Swann (2)
I didn't need to kill you; I'd already broken you. I wanted to give you an empty world, like the one you gave me. It's enough to almost make me regret it. Almost.
Pardon?
You keep coming back to me. I thought I'd never see you again, but fate draws us back together. Now your enemy is my enemy. How did that happen?
Well, you live long enough...
Yeah! Look at us -- two old men in a hole, trying to work out who's playing tricks on us.
How's the view?
It's growing on me. Can we go faster?
We don't need to go faster, we have all the time in the world.
If I don't come back, blow it all to shit.
We don't have enough explosives for that.
Yeah, but they don't know that.
Very hard to know what to say. But I thought we should gather, and remember.
And I... I thought this was appropriate: [quoting a Jack London book] "The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." [sets the book down, grabs a glass of his own and stands. Tanner begins a circle-wide toast.]
To James.
James.
James.
James.
James... [They all drink to his memory.] Right. Back to work. [clinks the glass on the table.]
My name is Lyutsifer Safin. Your husband killed my family.
Madeline's Mother: I'm telling you, he's gone.
I know. This will hurt him more. [fires assault rifle pointblank at her]
You won't be able to stop him! So why don't you help me out, brother?
I had a brother. His name was Felix Leiter. [Bond pulls the SUV down, letting the tree snap. Ash is crushed by the SUV.]
Oh God. It's for Madeline.
It's alright Q. It's all alright. Will you put Madeline on please?
Yes of course. How stupid of me.
Madeline...
I'm here. Where are you? Is it done? [Bond hesitates to respond, completely exhausted.] James?
Yes, yes, yes... He's dead. Are you both there?
Yes.
Good! Be safe, that's good.
Have you left?
Um...
No, you promised.
Now, Madeline... [resumes climbing and finally ascends to the top of the control room, peeking out of a hatch that overlooks the island.]
Just get off that island. I know you can do this. Everything's good now! There's no one left to hurt us...
Madeline... [stares out into the sunset, trying to catch his breath.] You have made... The most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Perfect. Because she came from you. [stumbles out of the hatch to see that the island's silo doors are open, ensuring the missiles will destroy the nanobots inside Safin's lair.]
Oh, god. The vial... You've been poisoned!
Yes.
There must be a way. There must be a way... We just need more time! If we only had more time...!
You have all the time in the world.
I love you.
I love you too.
She does have your eyes.
I know. [looks up as the missiles go on terminal guidance, breaking off into fragments like fireworks. In his final moments, he is dignified and composed.] I know... [The missiles hit the island and Bond watches the first explosion before a second hit obscures Bond entirely.]
Madeline's Mother: What do you think Papa does?
He's a doctor. [Madeline's mother scoffs.] He heals people.
Madeline's Mother: Oh, no. No, no, your Papa... He kills people.
No.
Madeline's Mother: Is that who you love? Murderers?
I just showed someone your watch, Q. It really blew their mind.
And now, we are both poisoned with heartbreak. Two heroes in a tragedy of our own making. Everyone we touch, we are their curse. A stroke to their cheek, a kiss would kill them instantly. Yes, Madeline. Yes, Mathilde. You made me do this, you see? This was your choice.
Look, this all seems like heaven. This little bubble, or whatever. But it's so obvious you're a man who only has time to kill and nothing to live for.
I'm going to tell you a story about a man. His name was Bond. James Bond.
