Eve [Bond and Patrice, an assassin, are fighting atop a train for possession of the stolen hard drive. As they emerge from a tunnel and onto a viaduct, Eve has them in the crosshairs of a rifle.]
I may have a shot. [beat.] It's not clean. Repeat, I do not have a clean shot.
Eve [The train's whistle blares as it approach another tunnel.]
There's a tunnel ahead. I'm going to lose them.
Can you get into a better position?
Eve Negative, there's no time.
[Eve hesitates.]
I said, take the shot!
Eve I can't, I may hit Bond!
Eve [Eve fires. Bond, hit, falls backwards from the train into the river below. Eve sees Patrice, still holding the hard drive, disappear into the tunnel. Back at MI6, there is a long silence.] [on speaker-phone, solemn.]
Agent down.
[Bond and Eve meet for the first time since she accidentally shot him]
I am sorry, but we have met before?
Eve I am the one who should say sorry.
It was only four ribs; some of the less vital organs. Nothing major. [he and Eve walk into a big room of the building.] Not enough excitement in Istanbul?
Eve I've been reassigned. Temporary suspension from field work.
Eve Mm. Something to do with killing 007.
Well, you gave it your best shot.
Eve It was hardly my best shot.
I'm not sure I can survive your best.
Eve Doubt you'll get the chance.
Well, do me a favor, will you. If they do ever let you back out there, warn me first.
Eve I'm assisting Gareth Mallory in the transition and then I'll be back in the field.
Eve Yes, of course.
BT Bill Tanner
[Bill Tanner comes into the big room.] [directing Bond into M's office]
Ah, 007. It's this way.
[to Eve.]
In your defense, a moving target is much harder to hit.
Eve Then you'd better keep moving.
You know, we've never been formally introduced.
Eve Oh. Well, my name's Eve... Eve Moneypenny.
I look forward to our time together, Miss Moneypenny.
Eve Me, too. I'm sure we'll have one or two close shaves.
