James Bond
[Bond is about to have his chest waxed so he can pass for Japanese]

Why don't you just dye the parts that show?

James Bond
[Coded message to headquarters]

Little Nelly got a hot reception. Four big shots made improper advances toward her, but she defended her honor with great success.

James Bond
[Bond has just sent Blofeld's henchman into the water. The piranha immediately attack him]

Bon appetit!

Bond
[James is in bed with a Ling, a Chinese woman]

Why do Chinese girls taste different from all other girls?

Ling

You think we better, huh?

Bond

No, just different. Like Peking Duck is different from Russian Caviar. But I love them both.

Ling

Darling, I give you very best duck.

Oh, by the way, how was the girl?

Bond
[turns the lamp towards her, interrogation style]

Which girl?

The... uh... Chinese one we set you up with?

Bond

Another few minutes and I would have found out.

M
[buzzing intercom]

Miss MoneyPenny, give 007 the password we've agreed with Japanese S.I.S.

Yes sir. [to Bond] We tried to think of something that you wouldn't forget.

Bond

Yes?

"I, love, you". Repeat it please, to make sure you get it

Bond

Don't worry, I get it.

Permit me to introduce myself. I am Tanaka. Please call me Tiger.

Bond

If you're Tanaka, then how do you feel about me?

[the code response]

I... love you.

Bond

Well, I'm glad we got that out of the way.

[Tiger is showing Bond a shooting cigarette.]

It can save your life, this cigarette.

Bond

You sound like a commercial.

[Being bathed by Tanaka's women]

You know what it is about you that fascinates them, don't you? It's the hair on your chest. Japanese men all have beautiful bare skin.

Bond

Japanese proverb say, "Bird never make nest in bare tree."

Bond
[Choosing a masseuse]

Well, I'll just settle for this little old lady here.

Good choice, she's very sexyful.

Rule number one: never do anything yourself when someone else can do it for you.

Bond

And rule number two?

Rule number two: in Japan, men come first, women come second.

Bond

I just might retire to here.

Bond

I want to take a look at the island now. Is Little Nellie here?

Yes. And her father.

Bond
[James, Aki, and Tiger enter a nearby garage where an agitated and a sweating Q is waiting]

Welcome to Japan, Dad. Is my little girl hot and ready?

Q

Look, 007, I've had a long and tiring journey, probably to no purpose, so I'm in no mood for juvenile quips.

Bond

Is this the only room there is?

Kissy Suzuki

Yes. That is your bed,

Kissy Suzuki
[points to one side of room]

I shall sleep over there.

Bond
[points to other side of room]

But we're supposed to be married.

Kissy Suzuki

Think again, please. You gave false name to priest.

Bond

Yes, but we must keep up appearances. We're on our honeymoon.

Kissy Suzuki

No honeymoon. This is business.

Bond
[pushing aside his oyster dinner]

Well, I won't need these.

Mr. Osato

You should give up smoking. Cigarettes are very bad for your chest.

Mr. Osato believes in healthy chest.

Bond
[Bond eyes Helga's breasts]

Really?

[Bond is captured by Helga Brandt]

I've got you now.

Bond

Well, enjoy yourself. [Brandt slaps him]

James Bond. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernst Stavro Blofeld. They told me you were assassinated in Hong Kong.

Bond

Yes, this is my second life.

You only live twice, Mr. Bond.

The firing power inside my crater is enough to annihilate a small army. You can watch it all on TV. It's the last program you're likely to see.

Bond

Well, if I'm gonna be forced to watch television, may I smoke?

Yes. Give him his cigarettes. It won't be the nicotine that kills you, Mr. Bond.

Henderson
[After Dikko Henderson gives Bond a vodka martini]

Oh, that's uh, stirred, not shaken. That was right, wasn't it?

Bond

Perfect.

[A car chasing Aki and Bond gets picked up by Tanaka's helicopter and gets dropped into the ocean.]

How is that for Japanese efficiency?

Bond

Just a drop in the ocean.
