Octopussy quotes

Bond
[looking at the tattoo on Magda's back]

What is that?

Magda

That's my little octopussy.

Bond

So does he have a proposition for me or do you?

Magda

He suggest a trade. The egg... for your life.

Bond

Well, I heard the price of eggs was going up, but isn't that a little high?

Bond

You wouldn't have a smaller piece of thread than that wouldn't you, Q? [hands Q his coat] Somebody seems to have stuck a knife in my wallet.

Q

Ah, and they missed you? What a pity!

Khan

You seem to have a nasty habit of surviving.

Bond

Well, you know what they say about the fittest.

Orlov
[enters the trailer, sees Bond in Mischka's clothes from behind]

Leave that! Let's go.

Bond
[turns around, facing Orlov with pointed gun]

No, let's stay. You. Sit on that box. Hands on your knees. Come on, move! Now why is that bomb on the train?

Orlov

Who are you?

Bond

I'm with British Secret Service.

Orlov
[the scene cuts to two Russian soldiers having finished examining General Orlov's car with the jewel container inside the trunk and leaving to do their duty; the scene cuts again to Bond still holding General Orlov captive inside the trailer]

You should be more concerned about getting out of here alive.

Bond

I am more concerned about an atomic bomb exploding on a United States Air Force base. You surely can't be inviting a full-scale nuclear war. What happens when the US retaliates?

Orlov
[grins]

Against whom?

Bond
[frowning, realizing Orlov's scheme]

My God. Of course. Our early-warning system will rule out the possibility of that bomb having come from Russia or anywhere else. Everyone will assume incorrectly that it was an American bomb triggered accidentally.

Orlov

That would be the most plausible explanation.

Bond

Europe will insist on unilateral disarmament, leaving every border undefended for you to walk across at will. And it doesn't matter a damn to you, I suppose, that thousands of innocent people will be killed in this little "accident" of yours?

Orlov

Better than letting a handful of old men in Moscow bargain away our advantage in disarmament talks!

Bond

On your feet, General. You're going to stop that train.

Orlov
[they hear hoot as the train starts to move off]

It's too late.

Bond

You can stop it at the border. [the trailer door opens, revealing two Russian soldiers and Bond, having been caught, kills one soldier and escapes to avoid being killed by the other]

Orlov
[referring to Bond escaping from the Russian soldier, who is chasing him]

Kill him!! Kill him!!

Kamal Khan
[at Feldstadt Air Base, Kamal Khan prepares to leave ahead of the expected nuclear explosion] [to a USAF lieutenant-general]

General, excuse me. I have some traveling arrangements to make. Enjoy the show.

US general

Thank you.

US aide

I'm sure the general will get a big blast out of this.

Khan

I know he won't be disappointed.

Bond
[Bond and Q float in a hot air balloon as Octopussy's troops raid Khan's lair]

I trust you can handle this contraption, Q?

Q

It goes by hot air.

Bond

Oh, then you can.

Bond
[Bond and Vijay's car is being chased by Gobinda and his henchmen.]

Vijay, we've got company!

Vijay

No problem, this is a company car!

Gogol
[General Gogol walks to a crawling General Orlov, who has just been shot by East German border guards, thinking he was trying to defect by chasing the Octopussy circus train]

A common thief! A disgrace to the uniform!

Orlov
[weakly]

Yes. But tomorrow, I shall be a hero of the Soviet... Union... [dies]

Vijay
[Vijay arrives to relieve Q as they monitor Octopussy's island palace from the lakeshore]

Is he still there?

Q

You must be joking! 007 on an island populated exclusively by women? We won't see him till dawn!

Kamal Khan

Englishman. Likes eggs, preferably Faberge, and dice, preferably loaded.

Kamal Khan

Mr. Bond is indeed of a very rare breed... soon to be made extinct.
