"How we doing, Richard?" "We should pass over the english coast 1 5 minutes ahead of time." "With this load on our back, that's good going." "Just trust the RAF, sir." "What the hell is that?" "The shuttle ignition." "Disappeared?" "And what happened to the Moonraker?" "Good God." "Yes, of course, minister." "Right away." "Moneypenny, is 00 7 back from that African job?" "He's on his last leg, sir." "Any higher, Mr. Bond, my ears will pop." "I don't think I'm ever going to fly with anyone else." "You're so right, Mr. Bond." "This is where we leave you, Mr. Bond." "A little premature, isn't it?" "Enjoy your flight." "Good morning, Moneypenny." "James." "But why are you so late?" "I fell out of an airplane without a parachute." "Who's in there?" "Q and the minister of defense." "You don't believe me, do you?" "And you should go right in." "Yes, Moneypenny." "00 7." "At last." "Good morning, sir." "You know Frederick Gray, minister of defense." "Commander." "Minister." "Q." "00 7." "Moonraker?" "What do you know about it?" "What I read in the newspaper, sir." "Then you'II know that Moonraker was being flown over here on Ioan from the Americans on top of a 7 4 7." "And crashed somewhere in the Yukon." "Aircraft and shuttle totally destroyed, correct?" "That's the official version." "The truth is rather disturbing, 00 7." "Look at this." "That's the scene of the crash." "Wreckage strewn over a Iarge area." "That's all that's left of the fuselage." "We've been through it thoroughly but there's no sign of Moonraker." "Are you suggesting the shuttle was hijacked in midair?" "That's for you to find out, 00 7." "shuttle's built in california by Drax Industries." "Yes." "We were responsible for the safety of that shuttle, commander." "The United States government is justifiably concerned." "I can imagine." "california's the place to start." "I agree." "Don't make any mistakes, 00 7." "The situation is critical." "We've got to find that shuttle." "Yes, sir." "If that's all, gentlemen...." "Just a minute, 00 7." "I've got something for you." "roll up your right sleeve, will you?" "This is now being issued as standard equipment." "Strap it on your wrist." "It's activated by nerve impulses from the wrist muscles." "Like this?" "Oh, thank you, 00 7!" "Be careful, will you?" "Yes, Q." "Ten darts: five bIue-tipped with armor-piercing heads five red-tipped, cyanide coated, causing death in 30 seconds." "Very novel, Q. You must get them in the stores for Christmas." "Good morning, gentlemen." "welcome to california, Mr. Bond." "I Iike it already." "My name is Corinne Dufour." "You're going to be showing me around?" "No, I'm just a humble pilot in the service of the Drax Corporation." "This is the Drax estate now." "Everything you see belongs to Mr. Drax." "Owns a Iot, doesn't he?" "What he doesn't own, he doesn't want." "We're approaching the main complex now." "That's where the Moonraker shuttle is made?" "That's right." "Workshops, hangars design and experimental blocks, test centers, everything." "Very impressive." "I'd heard that Hugo Drax is obsessed with the conquest of space." "Now I can believe it." "Good God." "The Drax residence." "Every stone brought from France." "Cute, isn't it?" "Magnificent." "Why didn't he buy the eiffel Tower as well?" "He did, but the French government refused him an export permit." "Look there." "Those are the astronaut trainees." "Mr. Drax is financing the training program out of his own pocket." "He seems to have an eye for a good investment." "Mr. Drax will see Mr. Bond in the drawing room, Miss Dufour." "Thank you, Cavendish." "This way, please, sir." "Mr. Bond, sir." "Mr." "Bond." "Mr." "Drax." "allow me to present, before they leave us, Countess Lubinski Lady Victoria Devon, Mr. Bond." "How do you do?" "My dear fellow, your reputation precedes you, of course." "I'm honored your government should send you on so delicate a mission." ""delicate," Mr. Drax?" "well, to apologize in person for the loss of my space shuttle." "How would Oscar wilde have put it:" ""To lose one aircraft may be regarded as a misfortune to lose two seems like carelessness"?" "well, an apology will be made to the American government, Mr. Drax when we've discovered why there was no trace of the Moonraker." "And your loyalty commands respect, Mr. Bond." "You have arrived at a propitious moment coincident with your country's one indisputable contribution to Western civilization." "Afternoon tea." "May I press you to a cucumber sandwich?" "Thank you, no, nothing at all." "The shuttle, is it made entirely here in california?" "No." "I own subsidiaries throughout the world, producing components." "The conquest of space represents an investment in the future of the entire human race, Mr. Bond." "It is therefore logical to seek the best that each nation has to offer." "Are you referring to people or skills?" "Both, Mr. Bond." "Am I too soon?" "Not at all." "I'm sure Mr. Bond is eager to start his tour." "Miss Dufour will escort you to Dr. Goodhead, who will show you around." "Ask anything you Iike." "Thank you for being so cooperative." "A pleasure." "Look after Mr. Bond." "See that some harm comes to him." "You'II find Dr. Goodhead first on the right." "Thank you for the ride." "call on me if you need anything." "Good afternoon." "Can I help you?" "Yes." "My name is Bond." "James Bond." "I'm looking for Dr. Goodhead." "You just found her." "A woman." "Your powers of observation do you credit, Mr. Bond." "James, to my friends." "holly Goodhead." "Are you training to be an astronaut?" "I'm fully trained." "On Ioan from NASA the Space Administration." "well, Mr. Bond, I guess we'd better get started." "You don't want to lose time as well as the space shuttle, do you?" "This is it, the Moonraker." "capable of being launched into space by rocket or" "Orbiting the Earth and reentering the atmosphere to land like any conventional aircraft." "This is the centrifuge trainer." "It simulates the gravity force you feel when shot into space." "The speed is controlled by the instructor from up there." "Why not try it?" "Why not?" "Strap yourself in firmly." "Yes, doctor." "Now, your arms." "That's to prevent you from knocking yourself out." "I see." "How fast does it go?" "It can go up to 20 Gs but that would be fatal." "3 Gs is equivalent to takeoff pressure." "Most people pass out at 7." "You'd make a great saIeswoman." "You don't have to worry." "This is what we call a "chicken switch."" "Just keep your finger on that button and when the pressure is too much for you hit the button and the power's cut off." "Just like that?" "Come on, Mr. Bond." "A 70-year-oId can take 3 Gs." "trouble is, there is never a 70-year-oId around when you need one." "You want me?" "Mr." "Drax says to telephone him." "AII right, I'II call him from my office." "You go ahead." "I'II be right back." "The instructor will supervise the session." "Enjoy yourself." "Yes." "We're taking good care of him." "I don't know what could've happened." "Something must've gone wrong with the controls." "Let me help you." "My mother gave me a list of things not to do on a first date." "Maybe you won't need it." "It's not what I came for." "No." "What do you want, then?" "would your feelings be shattered if I were to say, "Information"?" "Why should I tell you anything?" "Why, indeed?" "You presume a great deal, Mr. Bond." "What goes on here besides the manufacture of Moonraker and the astronaut training program?" "There are other laboratories, and not much is happening now." "They were working on something very secret, but everything's been moved." "Where to?" "I don't know." "What about that list of your mother's?" "I never learned to read." "What are you doing?" "You whetted my appetite for information." "Is there a safe in here?" "Thank you." "James, no!" "That's amazing!" "There you are, you see?" "You have a heart of gold." "Eighteen karat." "You must go." "No, you go first." "I'II turn off the lights." "Thank you." "Take care of yourself." "And you." "Ah, my dear Bond." "This is MademoiseIIe DeIadier and La Signorina del Mateo." "Ladies." "I'II see you at lunch." "A pity you leave us." "Such good sport." "unless you're a pheasant." "Ah, really, Mr. Bond." "Take my gun." "A stray bird may fly over." "I came to thank you for your hospitality." "Frasier will get you to the airport in plenty of time." "Come now." "I doubt if I'm in your class." "Oh, you're too modest, Mr. Bond." "Over there." "You missed, Mr. Bond." "Did I?" "As you said "Such good sport."" "You called for me, Mr. Drax?" "You were with Bond last night in my study." "You showed him the safe." "I didn't!" "I'm terminating your employment." "You will leave immediately." "Franco, I'II call you where to meet me." "Can I interest you in something?" "Why, I'm tempted to say yes immediately." "But I think I'II have a look around." "please." "Go anywhere you wish." "and in 1 965, the Venini Museum and Glass Works were taken over by Drax Industries." "Here we have some of the rarest examples of the glass blower's art." "As you know, everything was done absolutely by hand." "Here is a vase done by Lorenzo Graziati sometime between 1 850 and 1 860." "If you'd Iike to follow me over here...." "This exquisite bowl was fashioned about 1 520 over 450 years ago." "If it ever came on the market, it wouId certainly fetch a price in excess of one million American dollars." "But if any of you were thinking of taking it...." "We have an early seventh-century dish with an aquamarine medallion." "Over here, we have something very, very interesting." "This gIass-handIed sword the only one of its kind in the world was owned by general Menotti in the late eighteenth century and is the work of Bruno Venini, founder of this establishment." "Fourteenth century." "Dr. Goodhead." "I can only hope your presence here is a coincidence, Mr. Bond." "I dislike being spied on." "well, don't we all." "You're staying at the DanieIi, aren't you?" "Yes." "How did you know?" "I Iike to keep abreast of things." "May I ask what you're doing in Venice?" "I'm addressing a seminar of the European Space Commission." "My, heady stuff." "I keep forgetting that you are more than just a beautiful woman." "If you're trying to be ingratiating, Mr. Bond, don't bother." "I have more important things on my mind." "That's what I want to talk to you about." "Dinner this evening?" "This evening I'm giving my address." "Can you think of a reason why we don't have a drink afterwards?" "Not immediately." "But I'm sure I shall." "play it again, Sam." "What the hell are you doing here?" "ConvaIescing." "Your friend Cha just tried to kill me." "I had something to do with it?" "well, the thought had flashed across my mind." "What's Drax up to in that laboratory?" "Why don't you ask him yourself?" "You leaving me your telephone number?" "I don't see the point." "Ah, now I do." "Not what I want to get stuck with tonight." "James, why don't you pour yourself a drink?" "Thank you." ""daily diary."" "fairly deadly diary." "BoIIinger." "If it's '69, you were expecting me." "TrifIe overpowering, your scent." "Standard CIA equipment." "And the CIA placed you with Drax, correct?" "Very astute of you, James." "Oh, not really." "I have friends in Iow places." "could this possibly be the moment for us to pool our resources?" "It could have its compensations." "Where are you planning on going from here?" "I'm not planning on going anywhere." "Oh, I suppose you're right, holly." "We'd be better off working together." "Detente?" "Agreed." "Understanding?" "possibly." "Cooperation?" "Maybe." "Trust?" "Out of the question." "Send the night porter up for my bags immediately, please." "I hope you know what you're doing." "I played bridge with this fellow." "00 7 doesn't usually push the panic button unless it's something serious." "I hope not." "Morning, inspector." "I see you've covered everything with our italian friends." "Is this it?" "Yes, sir." "Gas masks?" "We can't afford to take any chances, minister." "Frederick Gray." "What a surprise!" "And in distinguished company, all wearing gas masks." "You must excuse me, gentlemen, not being english I sometimes find your sense of humor rather difficult to follow." "On behalf of the British government, I apologize." "I think you owe us an explanation, 00 7." "I've never been so humiliated in my Iife." "Your man should be taken off the assignment." "I'II see you at the consulate." "I'II have to do what he says." "well, before you do that, sir have Q do an analysis of this." "I took it from the laboratory." "tell him to exercise extreme caution." "It is lethal." "So there was a laboratory." "You'd better take two weeks' leave of absence, 00 7." "Do you know where you might go?" "I've always had a hankering to go to Rio." "I think I can recall your mentioning it." "00 7, no sIip-ups or we're both in trouble." "Yes, a minor crisis has been averted." "Nothing serious, but all merchandise is to be rerouted as from today." "Now, regarding a replacement for Cha do you have someone in mind?" "Oh, yes, well, if you can get him, of course." "Flight BA 1 28 to Rio de Janeiro now boarding, gate number seven." "welcome to Rio, Mr. Bond." "The president's suite." "really?" "Don't bother showing me the rest." "If I get lost, I'II take a cab." "Do you come with the suite?" "It depends who's renting it." "Vodka martini?" "Shaken, not stirred." "Why were you following me from the airport?" "I was trying to meet you." "My name is ManueIa." "I work for Station VH." "We have been asked to assist you." "M thinks of everything." "tell me, ManueIa, do the initials C and W mean anything to you?" "C and W?" "Yes, carlos and WiImsberg." "They are very big importers in Rio." "A subsidiary of the Drax Group, I believe." "They have a warehouse on Carioca Avenue." "I'd Iike to pay it a discreet visit tonight." "Tonight?" "I think you may find that a little difficult." "difficult or not it's something we have to do." "And meanwhile...." "How do you kill five hours in Rio, if you don't samba?" "There's the warehouse." "And not a soul about." "There's a way around the back." "Good thinking." "This is it." "Don't talk to any strange men." "I'II be back." "Are you all right?" "Yes, but I'd rather dance with you." "I did tell you not to talk to any strange men." "Did you find anything in there?" "only this." ""Drax Air Freight."" "Which airport do they operate from?" "San Pietro." "Do you want me to take you there?" "No, I think you need some rest." "Come on." "I'II drop you off." "Haven't we met before somewhere?" "The face is familiar as is the manner." "It's become distinctly chilly since Venice." "That was before you walked out." "nearly tripping on your bags on the way out the door." "So?" "So why waste time working against each other?" "I've checked Drax's warehouse in town." "It's empty." "That's no surprise." "Those planes have been taking off every two hours." "Yes." "He's moving out." "Where to?" "That's what we're going to find out, now that we're working together." "I still don't know if I trust you." "I don't know if I trust you either." "That's what makes it more exciting, doesn't it?" "What's wrong?" "I don't know." "But I'm sure we're better off out than in." "Bring that chain." "Hang on, James!" "The thought had occurred to me." "I might have guessed." "Do you know him?" "Not socially." "His name's Jaws." "He kills people." "Here, give me the chain." "Come on!" "Hang on to me." "Jump!" "Have you broken something?" "only my tailor's heart." "What was that for?" "For saving my Iife." "Remind me to do it more often." "Thanks, but we're in great shape." "Sorry about that." "James!" "You look as though you just fell off a mountain." "It's funny you should say that, Moneypenny." "As a matter of fact, I was in a cable car and" "Never mind." "The other courtyard." "Ah, there you are, 00 7." "balls, Q?" "Bolas, 00 7." "Good." "Have that ready for Army Day." "Where's M?" "In the office." "This way." "Good morning, 00 7." "Good morning, sir." "You're just in time." "Sit down." "Thank you, sir." "Q's come up with something." "splendid." "Any news of Dr. Goodhead?" "Afraid not." "Right, Q." "It's a breakdown on that vial of liquid you picked up in Venice." "You seem to be right, 00 7." "Thank you." "It's a highly toxic nerve gas that appears to have no effect on animals." "May I see the formula?" "It's a chemical formula of a plant." "Orchideae negra." "A very rare orchid indeed." "Yes." "It was thought to be extinct until a missionary brought one back from the reaches of the Amazoco." "well, actually he brought it back from the area of the River Tapirape." "well done, James." "You better get up there, and fast." "And I've got something to get him there if 00 7 can be trusted to look after it." "Mr. Bond you defy all my attempts to plan an amusing death for you."
