A scene from Octopussy 1983
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!!
