Scenes with James Bond

5 scenes
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]

James Bond

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

Aubergine

This is a mystery.

Bond

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]

Max Zorin
[the morning after Bond sleeps with May Day]

You slept well?

James Bond

A little restless but I got off eventually.

James Bond
[Zorin and his associates have captured James Bond]

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

Max Zorin

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

Bond

Don't count on it, Zorin.

Zorin
[laughs]

Ha ha, you amuse me, Mr. Bond.

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?

Max Zorin

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...

Zorin

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

James Bond

Brilliant. I'm almost speechless with admiration.

Zorin

Intuitive improvisation is the secret of genius.

Bond

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

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

And I thought that creep loved me!

James Bond
[sees a dead miner's body float by]

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