A scene from Quantum of Solace 2008
James Bond

[Bond has just found the man who set Vesper up to die trying to seduce another woman] [quietly]

Sit down. [holds them at gunpoint] Sit down!

Yusef

[To Corinne]

It's ok, baby.

James Bond

[Bond walks over to them, still holding the gun and they both sit down] [looking at the woman]

You're Canadian? You work in Canadian intelligence?

James Bond

[The woman says nothing]

That's all right...I know you do. And knowing this man, you likely have access to some very sensitive material that you're going to be forced to give up. His life will be threatened and because you love him, you won't hesitate. That's a beautiful necklace. Did he give it to you?

James Bond

[She doesn't answer. Bond shows her Vesper's necklace]

I have one just like it. He gave it to a friend of mine...someone very close to me. Your name is...?

Corinne

Corinne.

James Bond

Corinne. Corinne, I suggest you leave now. You contact your people, and you tell them to check their seals. They have a leak. Do it now, please. This man and I have some unfinished business.

Corinne

[softly, as she leaves]

Thank you.

Yusef

Please...make it quick.

M

[Next scene, Bond leaves Yusef's home and is greeted by M. MI6 agents go into the house]

Is he still alive?

James Bond

He is.

M

I'm surprised. Did you find what you were looking for?

James Bond

Yes.

M

Good.

M

I assume you have no regrets?

James Bond

I don't. What about you?

M

Course not. It would be unprofessional. They found Greene dead in the middle of the Bolivian desert of all places. Two bullets in the back of his skull. They found motor oil in his stomach. Does that mean anything to you?

James Bond

Wish I could help.

M

You'll be glad to know I straightened things out with the Americans. Your friend Leiter has been promoted. He replaced Beam.

James Bond

Well then, the right people kept their jobs.

M

Something like that.

James Bond

[pause]

Congratulations, you were right.

M

About what?

James Bond

About Vesper. [pause] Ma'am. [starts to walk away]

M

Bond...I need you back.

James Bond

[turns and smiles sadly]

I never left.
[As he walks away, he drops Vesper's necklace in the snow]
