A View to a Kill quotes

General Gogol

Good morning, Comrade Zorin.

General Gogol. This meeting is ill-advised.

Gogol

A calculated risk. But necessary, since you refused to answer your control.

Come to the point, General.

Gogol

You disregard procedure. You did not request approval before eliminating 007. Reprisals might jeopardize ongoing operations.

You jeopardized mine!! Letting the British penetrate the Siberian research center.

Gogol

That was regrettable. Your racing activities attract unnecessary attention, but more disturbing are your unauthorized commercial ventures, and we cannot tolerate that.

The issue is irrelevant. I've made new associations. I no longer consider myself a KGB agent.

Klotkoff

We trained you. Financed you. Huh. What would you be without us? A biological experiment? [Zorin scoffs and chuckles] A physiological freak? [Zorin coldly glares at him]

Gogol
[May Day lifts Klotkoff off the ground and over her head while Jenny Flex arrives and points a gun at the rest of General Gogol's men] [to his own men]

Enough of this!! Control yourselves!! [May Day throws Klotkoff down to the ground while General Gogol confronts Zorin] You will come back to us, Comrade. No one ever leaves the KGB.

May Day
[In Zorin's dirigible looking at San Francisco]

Wow! What a view...

...to a kill!

May Day
[After surviving the flood in the mines.]

And I thought that creep loved me!

[sees a dead miner's body float by]

You're not the only one he double-crossed.

Scarpine
[at the mine]

It's time to flood the fault. [Zorin gets a remote detonator from Scarpine's hard case]

Bob Conley

But May Day and my men!

Yes. A convenient coincidence.

Conley

Mr. Zorin, those men are LOYAL to you! [Scarpine knocks him out; Conley falls to the bottom of the cavern]

Q
[Bond is in the shower with Stacey and Q is using Snooper to spy on them. Phone rings]

Hello?

Minister

Grandfather is calling Q. What's the situation?

Q

007 alive.

Minister

Where is he? What's he doing?

Q

Just cleaning up a few details.

Stacey Sutton

Oh, James!

Emcee
[James Bond meets with French private detective Achille Aubergine]

Ladies and gentlemen, the beautiful Dominique.

Achille Aubergine
[A beautiful woman in a pink leotard sings a song while butterfly puppets surround her]

Perhaps we should add this "butterfly" to our collection, no? [chuckles]

Tell me, why do Zorin's horses beat others with far superior bloodlines?

Aubergine

This is a mystery.

Could he be using drugs?

Aubergine

Nothing showed up in the tests. Later this month, Zorin will hold his annual sale at his stud near Paris. Security is formidable. But the key to this mystery is there. And I, Achille Aubergine, will intend to find it.
[elsewhere in the hall, May Day sets up a butterfly puppet to kill Aubergine by striking him in the neck]

[Zorin and his associates have captured James Bond]

My department knows I'm here. When I don't report, they'll retaliate.

If you're the best they've got, they're more likely to try and cover up your embarrassing incompetence.

Don't count on it, Zorin.

[laughs]

Ha ha, you amuse me, Mr. Bond.

It's not mutual.

Chief Geologist WG Howe
[Zorin and May Day bring Bond and Stacey Sutton to Chief Geologist Howe's office, where Howe is asked to call the police on a break-in.]

What have they done?

You discharged her, so she and her accomplice came here to kill you. Then they set fire to the office, to conceal the crime but they were trapped in the elevator [switches pistols with May Day] and perished in the flames.

Howe

But that means I would have to be...

Dead! [shoots him; Jenny Flex appears at a nearby door. to Bond] That's rather neat, don't you think?

Brilliant. I'm almost speechless with admiration.

Intuitive improvisation is the secret of genius.

Herr Doktor Mortner would be proud of his creation.
[Zorin signals Flex to start dousing gasoline on Howe's office]

[addressing businessmen aboard his Skyship 6000]

Gentlemen. For centuries alchemists tried to make gold from base metals. Today, we make microchips from silicon, which is common sand, but far better than gold. Now, for several years, we had a profitable partnership, you as manufacturers, while I acquired and passed on to you industrial information that made you competitive, successful. We are now on the unique position to form an international cartel to control not only production, but distribution of these microchips. There is one obstacle... [throws microchips onto the table, which splits up and out comes a model of a familiar city] Silicon Valley, near San Francisco.

[after one of the businessmen he convened falls to his death]

So, does anyone else want to drop out?
