"I deliver perfection..." "and don't brag about it!" ":" "D" "In the first James Bond film, "Dr No", there comes a moment when the audience knows undeniably that the world of 007 is a world unlike any other." "This was the first of many imaginative, stylised sets designed by one of the cinema's greatest visual artists, Ken Adam." "Ken Adam, the production designer, was very much a key element in what became the success of James Bond, ie the opulence, the size, the importance of the sets." "One of the great designers of all time." "Ken is a brilliant designer." "He's a genius." "And I don't use that word lightly." "I think Ken is probably one of the foremost people responsible for the success of the Bond films." "Ken Adam's contribution is immense to all the Bond movies." "Ken Adam's contribution is beyond..." "Beyond description." "I left Germany at the age of 13 in 1934 because of Hitler." "And then came to England." "Ken was - or is - the only German that flew for the RAF during World War Two." "I eventually got my younger brother to join me - join my wing just before the end of the war." "He was a "real" hero." "He, unlike his brother, who had become naturalised because he went into British intelligence..." "Ken never was naturalised, so he was in the Air Force but he was still a German." "So if he had been shot down and captured he'd have been executed as a traitor." "After leaving the RAF in 1946 I had an eight-month period out of work and then started at Riverside Studios as a junior draughtsman on a film." "Within ten years Adam is recognised as one of Europe's best film designers." "He's soon hired by producer Albert R "Cubby" Broccoli." "I did "The Trials of Oscar Wilde" for Cubby." "Which was a great artistic success." "Harry Saltzman I met in Italy on some of the films I worked on in Italy." "So when Harry and Cubby decided to do "Dr No"" "they both asked for me to design it." "I was fortunate in as much as both of them knew me and knew my work, so Cubby sent me "Dr No"." "I really think Ken Adam's sets, when they went back to England and they made these unbelievable sets..." "I think that's what brought it up from being a low-budget, OK film to being something really special." "I contacted all the heads of departments at Pinewood Studios and asked them to come up with new materials - not the old film construction materials." "And they were very encouraging." "And because they were very supportive I then started designing sets - imaginative sets which otherwise, if I hadn't had that backup," "I probably wouldn't have done." "This "tongue in the cheek", slightly ahead of its time type of concept." "One felt the public wanted to see as much of Ursula Andress and Sean in various stages of undress - again trying to keep it simple but sexy." "Even the simplest sets require imaginative thinking." "It was a small set, but I think it was very effective." "I did it all out of..." "like, a gunmetal set." "And then I inclined the walls in." "Other sets call for expert advice." "None of us had any idea, certainly not in 1962, what a nuclear water reactor looked like." "So I managed to talk to some scientists at Harwell, and after giving me advice on this or that they said, "That's what a nuclear water reactor looks like."" "When it comes time to do the next 007 film, "From Russia with Love"," "Ken Adam is busy on another project, Stanley Kubrick's "Dr Strangelove"." "Watch that trick pool table." "But Adam returns for "Goldfinger"." "One of Adam's assistants on the film is Peter Lamont." "Ken's art director, Peter Murton, called me one day and said:" ""We're going to do a film called Goldfinger."" "Would you come and do drafting for us?" "When he started with me on Goldfinger, both he and his brother Michael were two young draughtsmen." "So I bowled up on the first morning and got my drawing board set up." "Ken came in and he said, "Well, I don't know you, but I'd like you to do this."" "And he gave me Fort Knox!" "The exterior." "The film provides a sterling showcase for Ken Adam's work." "From Goldfinger's rumpus room..." "The gold depository at Fort Knox, gentlemen!" "...to the laser room..." "And members of your curious profession are few in number." "...to the interior of Fort Knox itself." "I was of course overwhelmed by the great Ken Adam set of Fort Knox." "I'd never seen anything like it." "It was marvellous to work in a set like that." "It gives you another dimension to what you feel." "You can't easily say that if it had been somebody else and not Ken Adam, it would have been unique." "It's his vision that really created the world in which Bond lives." ""Thunderball" poses a challenge of a different sort - designing watercraft." "I was so fortunate on all the Bond films - starting with Johnny Stears, who was a brilliant engineer." "He'd sketch them first and say, "What do you think about this?"" ""Can you do it?" "Can you see problems in this?"" "The thing about his ability that struck me was being able to look at a piece of paper and turn it into reality." "Somebody comes up with a nuclear-bomb carrier, and much to my surprise Jordan Klein in Miami, Florida said, "Ken, that's fine."" "I said, "Don't tell me you can accept this." He said, "We'll make it work."" "And that always happened on the Bonds - much to my amazement." "I'll never forget - the biggest nightmare for everybody was the Disco Volante." "I found this old hydrofoil." "I came up with a design to increase the length of the hydrofoil by building, like, a catamaran round the back of it to make it look like a bigger yacht." "Jack Manson built this cocoon." "Jettison cocoon." "Cocoon's away." "Thunderball also features another eye-popping Ken Adam set:" "SPECTRE headquarters." "Like Goldfinger's rumpus room before it, it's an animated set." "The shattering success of Thunderball allows Ken Adam to give his imagination free rein with the next Bond film, "You Only Live Twice"." "It was almost "the cartoon effect", I call it." "Because his sets were just so jaw-dropping." "And they got more sophisticated and more elegant." "And they added a sinister depth to the baddie." "If you take a look at, say, the mountain on "You Only Live Twice", it was..." "Where else would Blofeld have lived?" "We hadn't found the locations that Fleming had talked about, so somebody came up with the idea of:" ""Wouldn't it be fun if we had the villain inside that extinct crater?"" "He would settle down, and he'd produce the most amazing drawings." "I came up with a scribble about that size." "He didn't worry much about cost." "I could see it more or less three-dimensionally." "But I also knew it had to be gigantic." "This he was the perfect man for." "The dimensions were unbelievable." "The long shot was 450 feet." "There, I thought, you really did have a genius." "The Las Vegas locale of "Diamonds Are Forever"" "showcases another spectacular setting for Blofeld." "What appealed to me there was that the Willard Whyte character was loosely based on a friend of Cubby's who was Howard Hughes." "It gave me an opportunity to design his penthouse in Las Vegas how I felt it should be." "Adam also has to design a suite for 007." "The waterbed became the central part of the suite." "I thought it would be nice to see the fish swimming around in the waterbed." "Well, that's easier said than done." "And in fact it became a gigantic problem, because I had to design, like, Plexiglas aquariums all round the waterbed in which the fish were swimming." "And the weight was unbelievable!" "Of course no Bond film is complete without a laboratory..." " Now, will you get out of here?" " Certainly, Doctor." "I've seen everything I need to see." "...or out-of-the-ordinary vehicles." "Get him off that machine." "That isn't a toy." "We had a lot of problems with it, because I tried to use the actual wheels for this moon buggy." "They kept breaking, and the suspension kept breaking until we finally got it right." "Adam is absent from the next two Bond films," ""Live and Let Die" and "The Man with the Golden Gun"." "After winning an Academy Award for his work on "Barry Lyndon"" "Adam returns to the world of 007 with "The Spy Who Loved Me"." "I remember the first scene in "The Spy Who Loved Me" of Gogol's office." "Very simple, but incredibly effective." "I wanted to go big with Gogol's office, as opposed to M's office." "I wanted to do the opposite world." "I was inspired by Eisenstein, and I designed the sort of crypt-like structure of a Russian Orthodox cathedral or church." "I knew when I had that idea it was a good idea." "I also feel one chair or one painting or one something can give more of a message to the audience than overdressing it." "I thought it was fun to set M's office in one of the tombs." "It wasn't a difficult set to design, but a difficult set to paint." "Fresco painting - a normal studio painter would not know how to deal with it, whereas a scenic painter who has worked for theatre and opera is more capable of doing it." "And that was half the secret:" "To make those frescoes look believable." "Once again Adam must design a villain's headquarters in an unusual location." "I was experimenting with new shapes." "The style of a Bond movie has got to look great." "It's no good coming into a room and handing an atlas to somebody." "No - somebody has to press a button, half the wall has to spread apart, thousands of screens have to light up." "And Ken does that absolutely magnificently." "The major problem was for the plasterers at Pinewood." "Because it was a curved set, it had a curved ceiling." "We sent a second unit to Okinawa to get all the footage of interesting-looking fish for the various portholes in Stromberg's apartment." "I wish to conduct my life on my own terms." "And in surroundings with which I can identify." "The dining room I was a little scared about." "I wanted to show the early Renaissance paintings and then surprise the audience by these paintings going up and revealing that this room is underwater." "They were megalomaniacs, but why shouldn't they have a Picasso or a Rembrandt or whatever?" "Everything was real in his sets - it was timber, he got mahogany - and always very expensive." "We're going to blow this lot up!" "Everything gets blown up in Bond." "It's rather sad." "Adam also creates the shark pool where Stromberg dispatches those who displease him." "I came up with that sort of gun-like structure of being catapulted into the shark tank." "The highlight of "The Spy Who Loved Me" is one of Adam's most ambitious 007 sets, the interior of Stromberg's supertanker." "The supertanker set was one of the biggest interior sets ever done." "At the time there was no stage which would have served both as a tank and been big enough to house three nuclear-powered submarines." "How in the world can we do that?" "There's no stage in Europe that could hold such a set." "I came up with the idea of building the 007 stage, which ended up having three atomic submarines side by side." "I designed the stage around the set, and used really the structure as part of the set." "Which was a very exciting challenge." "I did my sketch, the set was translated into models..." "He would stand in his office hour after hour, just drawing these extraordinary drawings." "And they were always very grand." "Big sets." "He drew all his sketches with a felt tip." "He had lots of different felt tips, from black through to the palest grey." "We'd done corridor after corridor after corridor, and I came up with this shape and a suspended floor and two or three openings in the side of the corridor." "And the whole set was able to tilt..." "It is my favourite set." "Nobody realised how much water was being catapulted into that set and the strength of that water." "Barbara was absolutely panicking." "That's not acting - an actual look of extreme fear and panic on her face as she's hit by that avalanche of water." "Stromberg has a custom-designed escape pod." "It was almost like a miniature version of Atlantis somehow." "Adam's designs for "The Spy Who Loved Me"" "earn him his third Academy Award nomination." "I think it is the best Bond picture I've ever done." "Next came "Moonraker", a production so huge one studio was not enough." "There were three studios in Paris, and we took over every one of them." "I also met some brilliant construction people in Paris, you know." "The person who built that centrifuge was unbelievable!" "In fact, Derek was insanely jealous." "He said, "Ken, why do you have to build it full-size?" "Let me build a model of it."" "I said, "We're going to build it full-size."" ""We always try on a Bond to give reality, so let's build it."" ""Moonraker" once again had the requisite laboratory." "I loved that laboratory." "Laboratories normally are tables with Bunsen burners and retorts and so on." "They are all dull, I find." "So I came up with the idea of these cylindrical shapes in a famous Venetian fifteenth-century palace." ""Moonraker" also requires more watercraft." "I designed the boat with that hang-glider built into the roof." "It was always a challenge, because you had to come up with a different idea for each of the Bond films." "I did seven Bond films, and each one created a new problem or challenge." "With "Moonraker" Adam met the challenge with an unusual variation on the villain's lair." "I came up with this..." "what we called the Great Chamber." "What I was trying to do was to create a transition set between the jungle in South America and the villain's lair." "It was a costly set, it was a difficult set to put up." "At the same time I tried to get some of the Aztec culture in it." "So I used Aztec sculpture and paintings on glass and so on." "And that exhaust chamber was not an easy set to construct." "It was on a curve, it was built partly in perspective so all the elements had to reduce..." "Like many Ken Adam sets before it, this one was animated." "The space station takes Ken Adam's designs to new heights." "I had done some research with NASA." "Ken Adam took those ideas and amplified them into a full-fledged space station." "So I did my first sketches and then we built a little model of it." "I had to use a lot of plastic materials for the cladding of the various elements." "And we had to have big explosions in the set." "When the explosion happened the whole set caught fire, and even though we had six Paris fire engines standing by they had to work all through the night to extinguish the fire." "It was certainly the biggest-budget Bond that I ever did." "I think visually we gave them everything but the sky - we gave them space!" "From the outset the Bond films have been visually stunning - thanks in large part to the contributions of talented artists like Ken Adam." "Ken I think honestly contributed an incredible amount to the success of Bond." "He really stamped a style on the Bond films right from the onset." "I'm not so sure that there's a long list - or even a short list - of people who could have created what Ken created." "I just wish he'd won an Academy Award for it." "Because it really put design in this country on the map." "Beautiful sets." "Great eye." "If I have any claim to fame, I suppose I've shot on the three biggest sets ever built for motion pictures." "And I..." "Ken Adam, thanks for that!" "I deliver perfection..." "and don't brag about it!" ":" "D" "I think of all the Bonds I did, "The Spy Who Loved Me" is... is the one I like best." ""The Spy Who Loved Me" was one of the best, if not the best, James Bond." "Spring 1975:" "Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman begin pre-production on "The Spy Who Loved Me", the tenth James Bond film." "The title always intrigued me." ""The Spy Who Loved Me" is a very good Fleming title." "They sign Guy Hamilton to direct." "Writers are brought in, but a serious problem develops." "Producer Harry Saltzman's other investments create massive debts." "Technicolor and Eclair de Brie - disasters." "It proves that if you like food, it doesn't mean you can run a restaurant." "Harry had gotten himself into a terrible financial mess with the Swiss Bank." "He'd pledged his shares of the company stock and they were foreclosing." "He owed a lot of money to various banks." "Letters would come in and he would rat-hole them in drawers and bags and not want to deal with them." "The banks were very upset with this because they had a loan and Harry had pledged his stock in the company to guarantee the loan, but there was no way they could realise their guarantee." "It was a very, very trying time for everyone." "On top of the fights and the problems with business, my mother had breast cancer." "She was very sick at that point." "That also complicated matters, at least for my father's reasoning." "They were planning to put Harry into bankruptcy." "This caused a huge amount of friction." "We had a succession of negotiations with different people and investment bankers." "Before I worked for Harry, I worked for a Saudi Arabian called Khashoggi." "I remember calling him and saying" ""You wouldn't be interested in buying half of James Bond, would you?"" "And he said yes." "That deal didn't go through." "My father lacked business acumen." "He was eaten alive by the Wall Street of that time and a corporate takeover." "He was out of his depth." "The company did go into a sort of liquidation, a hiatus." "And it could not actually produce the James Bond film." "And after much, much ado, we won." "Harry unfortunately lost his shares and therefore was out of the company." "So Cubby became the de facto representative of the company." "With the rights to the Bond films secured, producer Cubby Broccoli controls the fate of James Bond." "Should he succeed, he alone will get the credit." "Should he fail, he will have no one to blame but himself." "But that was not the end of our problems." "In a way, that was just the prelude." "Because of a clause in lan Fleming's agreement, no portion of his novel could be adapted into a screenplay." "Cubby Broccoli would have to supervise a creation of a totally original story line." "We went through a dozen writers." "Anthony Burgess came up with an idea." "He said "I got a great idea." "Let me pitch it to you." He wrote it up and gave it to us." "John Landis was a young writer at the time, recommended by MGM." "He did work with Guy Hamilton for a short time." "The turmoil in development takes its toll on director Guy Hamilton and the writers." "They'd been on the picture for a while and, because of the trouble, they left." "To bring the production back on track," "Cubby turns to an experienced Bond director." "I became involved with "The Spy Who Loved Me"" "ten years after I'd made "You Only Live Twice"." "With the director set, filmmakers dive into re-working the script." "We started to, basically, experiment and find the plot." "We thought "What are the intriguing things?"" "One of the intriguing things was there was an idea of a supertanker that swallowed boats." "And so that developed into a supertanker that swallowed atomic submarines." "Which was also a bit like "You Only Live Twice" but nobody worries about that." "And that's how we started." "Even without a completed script," "Cubby Broccoli and Lewis Gilbert begin to assemble the key production team, including associate producer Bill Cartlidge and production designer Ken Adam." "We thought of shooting in the Far East again because that's always exotic." "Which was interesting because I had a lot of contacts, of course." "So I got sent back to Japan." "Lewis Gilbert said "If you want something about the sea, there's this great underwater city that they have in Okinawa."" "The Japanese had a sea laboratory which could rise up and sink into the sea." "We had the idea of going underwater and that could be the villain's lair." "Of course, for a guy who lives under the ocean, he'd like to wipe out all people polluting the oceans." "Today civilisation as we know it is corrupt and decadent." "Inevitably, it will destroy itself." "I'm merely accelerating the process." "I brought in Christopher Wood, who I'd worked with on other films, and I knew that he was a great admirer of Bond books." "One day he rang me up when I was in France and said in his laid-back way" ""Er... hello, love." "How would you like to write a James Bond film?"" "I discussed this with Cubby before I went on the film." "I said to him one of the mistakes that they were making with the Roger films was that they were trying to turn him into Sean Connery." "Where is Ernst Stavro Blofeld?" " You're hurting my arm!" " I'll break it unless you tell me." "They should make him more towards the book of James Bond." "Very English, very smooth, very good sense of humour." "Can you play any other tune?" "Lewis is one of the... funniest, sweetest men I've worked with." "Great sense of humour." "The reason we got on so well - we both have the same sense of humour." "I didn't give up the jokiness or the tongue in cheek, because I felt that we needed to get back to that kind of thing." "Bond, what do you think you're doing?" "Keeping the British end up, sir." "Roger himself is an amusing man." "Off the camera he can be extraordinarily relaxed and funny." "One tunes in to this when one's writing for him." "All these things don't mean anything unless the story holds together." "So our initial attack on the story, when we first met in Paris, was to see whether the relationship between the main characters and the basic plot was solid and good." "Even though the filmmakers soon have a script they approve of, the screenplay itself becomes the centre of controversy." "As soon as our script came out, we were slapped with a plagiarism case by Kevin McClory who claimed that we'd plagiarised one of his scripts." "There was an injunction suit on the film." "So we all had to fight this suit through the summer in the courts in London." "Finally, the injunction was denied and we could go ahead and make the film." "So there was a lot of legal background, a lot of legal conflict, to get this film off the ground." "And what's amazing is that it's probably the best of the Roger Moore films and one of the best films that we made at the time." "Maybe it was the conflict itself that caused everyone to feel we have to make this picture and it has to be good." "Despite all the hard work, the script still needs one more element:" "An exciting pre-credit sequence." "I was looking through a magazine one day and I saw that this fellow had skied off El Capitan and then opened a parachute." "We discussed it and I said "But is that possible?"" "Let's find this guy." "People define adventure as having a large element of unknown which could kill you." "So we went out to California, got hold of Rick, and it turned out that he had never done it." "He didn't ski off the mountain." "But he quickly said "I could do it, and I know where I can do it."" "He said "I can do it up at Mount Asgar in the Arctic Circle, but we can only be there for six weeks."" "All the rest of the time it's snowed in." "It was gonna be too expensive." "We weren't totally convinced." "That's why we went to Canada on that initial survey." "We landed on the actual mountain and we did all the tests that we could do." "I kept saying to him "Are you sure you can do this?"" "He said "Oh, yes, I can do it."" "They did test footage of me on the edge of that sheer cliff in a bright red parka." "That test footage came out so spectacular." "We went back with this footage." "Lewis and Cubby and the head of United Artists, Dan Risner, disappeared into the theatre and looked at our material." "We waited outside." "We weren't allowed in." "They came out after ten minutes and they said "Do it."" "This was way in advance of the beginning of the film." "Lewis Gilbert's idea was "If it doesn't work, we'll figure out something else."" "Sure enough, the weather gets bad." "For a couple of days, people sit around." "Nothing's happening." "The money kept getting more and more expensive." "They were clouded in." "Now the calls start coming in from London. "Has he done it yet?"" "Studio is calling up, asking "What is happening?" "Are you ever gonna do this?"" "Finally Cubby said "I have a feeling this boy has decided not to do it."" ""It's a very dangerous stunt."" "In the end, it's only a movie." "We don't want anyone killed or injured." "So Cubby did call up Rick." "He said "If you have changed your mind about doing this stunt, you come down."" ""There's no film in the world worth your life."" "And he said "Cubby, I'm only waiting for the wind."" "And sure enough, the mountain's clear." "The storm is ending." "There's clouds swirling all about, but there's no winds, amazingly." "I was up there in a white suit, with a red flag." "I said to Rick "Don't go until this red flag is buried in the snow, whatever you hear on the radio, or whatever you think you hear."" "There are so many terrible stories of things going wrong." "The last thing I said to him was "Go, go, Rick."" ""Don't forget, you're James Bond."" "I shoved the flag and myself in the snow." "Now, there was one problem." "The master shot." "The camera in the helicopter, they missed me." "There were four or five cameras on it." "The first one, he skied over the top of the camera and the guy lost him." "So that didn't bode well." "Then we had another one where the guy lost him." "But there was one camera angle that took him all the way off, zoomed in, and followed him all the way down." "It was one take, uncut." "Just one camera." "Christopher Wood came up with what I think was the master stroke." "When the parachute opened, there was the Union Jack, which always brought the house down." "All over the world, whenever I saw the movie, instead of people howling at the Union Jack, they were bursting into applause, which was kind of satisfactory." "Even while the opening stunt films in Canada, the filmmakers work to cast key roles, including the aquatic-obsessed villain, Karl Stromberg." "I wish to conduct my life on my own terms." "Curt Jurgens I had got to know from some films in France." "An outstanding actor." "I was instrumental in bringing Curt in because I'd worked with Curt before." "At 12 noon they will have reached firing positions." "He was remarkable." "He spoke about five languages." "He could also act in every one of them." "He was wonderful to work with." "He was a magnificent character." "A nice man." "For the part of Stromberg's henchman, the filmmakers take a page from lan Fleming's novel." "Although the story was not to be used in the film," "Cubby adapts Fleming's henchman, Horror, with his metal braces into the steel-toothed Jaws, played by 7ft 2in Richard Kiel." "Cubby had the idea of Jaws." "He thought it would be an interesting character." "I got called to have lunch with Cubby Broccoli." "He said "We're not sure whether this guy's gonna have teeth like a shark, or they'll be like tools."" ""They're made out of chromium steel and he's gonna kill people with his teeth."" "All of a sudden, I'm thinking "Oh, no." "This is absurd." "This is ridiculous."" "One day I was asked if I would mind drawing some teeth." "I knew that they couldn't be pointy because he would hurt himself." "So I started it from the sort of cogs, grinding kind of idea that I had." "They flew me over to England and I was taken to a dental technician's office, out towards the studio." "The next thing I knew, Richard was practising wearing these very shiny teeth." "I know that they were uncomfortable." "Ever had a dental impression made?" "You know how it feels to have stuff in the roof of your mouth?" "Imagine you've got a whole mouthful of silver." "He could only keep them in for about 35 seconds and then would start gagging." "And they made me very serious while I was trying to be humorous." "It was an interesting combination." "Other more alluring parts are soon cast." "Finding new girls for Bond is a very, very difficult thing because they've got to be able to act a bit, they've got to be, obviously, beautiful and so on and so forth, and they get a bit thin on the ground." "I remember saying "I don't want to be killed, but I do want to be in your movie."" " Hello." " Hello." " I have a message for you." " I think you just delivered it." "I'm Naomi." "Mr Stromberg sent me to collect you." "I did a big poster campaign in the '70s and early '80s." "The character that was portrayed in the posters was quite a strong character." "I wore a wet suit and I carried a knife." "So she was quite strong." "Supposedly, Cubby saw this image of this strong woman and he said "I'd like to see her." "Send her to my office."" "So that's what he did." "Only one major role is left to be cast, that of Major Anya Amasova." "We had for the first time a Russian spy going alongside James Bond." "Well, well, well." "A British agent in love with a Russian agent." "Détente indeed." "Women's Lib would be rather proud of her because she is his equal in every way and matches him all the way through." "We have explored getting various well-known ladies." "We tested dozens of girls and we couldn't find anybody." "Danny Risner came to us, an executive at United Artists in Development." "He said "I have a friend of mine..." "She's an actress."" ""Why don't you look at her?" "Maybe you can find a small part for her."" "We said "Get her over quickly." We only had about four days." "We film-tested her." "We saw this test and we thought she was wonderful." "She was very beautiful and very good." "Hm." "That's very odd... if it's true." "We all said "She's just right for the leading lady." "Let's use her."" "Anya is a very nice character." "Probably the best female character that's ever been in a Bond film." "In pre-production, the filmmakers must decide how to shoot the film's elaborate climax." "At this stage, the battle is mainly intended to take place on the supertanker's deck." "We were originally going to use a real tanker." "I said "We're going to have to use a miniature, Lewis, because, as you know, at the end it blows up and sinks."" "You think "Let's film on a tanker."" ""It'll be exciting." "We can have our actors running around."" ""We wanna have explosions and stuff."" "Shell were quite happy." "They told us there would be a tanker leaving South Africa, having already taken off all the oil." "But it turns out, as I discovered, that empty tankers are more dangerous than they are full of fuel." "It leaves an enormous residue of gas and if anybody goes in there with a spark or a cameraman decides to have a puff on his cigar, the entire thing could go." "The company said "You can have it for nothing, but you must insure the ship while you are shooting on it."" "We were told that the insurance would be £50,000 a day." "Even a James Bond budget could not afford the cost of insuring that tanker." "And as we came out of the meeting, dear old Lewis, walking beside me, looked up and said" ""Well, boy, it's all gonna be a miniature."" "To create the film's unique look," "Cubby Broccoli relies on Academy Award-winning production designer and five-time Bond veteran Ken Adam." "I was experimenting with new shapes, because my designs had been very linear always and I wanted to go into more curved shapes." "So the design of Atlantis was all dome and curved surfaces." "So it gave me an opportunity to do Karl Stromberg's apartment with curve upon curve, which I found very exciting." "Filming begins on Tuesday, August 31st, 1976 in Ken Adam's set of General Gogol's office." "Send in Agent Triple X." "I wanted to go big with Gogol's office as opposed to M's office." "Yes, I'll put our best man on it at once." "All done tongue in the cheek with a sense of humour." "Ken Adam's designs perfectly mirror the humour of the script." "That could bring tears to your eyes." "For one gadget, Adam brings in a specialist in linear induction accelerators." "That idea came from a Professor Laithwaite, who was a leading electronic engineer in London." "He devised this "electronic river", as they call it." "To all intents and purposes, the tray floated in mid-air." "I want that ready for Ahmed's tea party." "I'd always liked Q as a character." "I always had an attraction to the scene in the laboratory." "The audience perks up the minute they're in there." "They're waiting for something unexpected to blow up or to happen." "On Wednesday, September 15th," "Lewis Gilbert begins directing his towering co-star." "By the end of the day, I had a pain in my neck." "I suddenly realised that I'd been looking up to 7ft 4in all day long." "Suddenly the character of Jaws, which we had seen at first as being an unmitigated menace, had a humorous side." "Lewis worked as a child on the stage in vaudeville, understood timing, understood humour." "Shaken, but not stirred." "He was a remarkable size but, like all giants, he was sweet and charming and a real pussycat." "The work is not all fun and games for Kiel and the crew." "The first time I saw the movie, it scared me." "I forgot, and I jumped." "They love train scenes in Bond." "One of the keys to writing a Bond movie is you have to do the same thing, but do it differently." "So you are going to go through the train window..." "To bring a scene to life takes hours of preparation." "The entire sequence is choreographed by legendary stuntman Bob Simmons." "My main job here is arranging, organising action, ideas, and then developing them." "Then, of course, shooting them." "They would rehearse the stunts way ahead of time." "So if you weren't acting in a scene, you were over in the stunt set, which was a mock-up of the train." "You would go through these fights." "At first it was boring." "I wasn't used to it." "But after a while, you started developing little things that added to the action." "How do you find a stunt double for a 7ft 2in actor?" "Filmmakers turn to Bob Simmons who stands less than 6ft tall." "You can really double anybody." "A very famous old director called Raoul Walsh said if the action is good enough, it could be a monkey in top hat and spats." "He was a little shorter than I am, but he could double Richard, because it's purely attitude and camera angle." "He was quite amazing." "He decided to do the scene where Jaws goes through the window, the plate-glass window of the train." "And he used real glass, real plate glass." "He took it with just his forehead and the glass came out." "He suffered..." "Stuntmen never admit they're hurt, but he did have a few cuts." "I was amazed he was still alive." "Meanwhile, 2nd Unit Director Ernie Day films a key sequence in Sardinia, featuring the brand-new, hand-built, mid-engine Lotus Esprit." "The Lotus lent itself beautifully, with that very streamlined body, to work as a submarine." "Soon the crew realises they need a second car and Peter Lamont handles the task of finding it." "I was dealing with a gentleman called Don McLoughlin." "He said "But we don't have a second one." "We only make so many a week."" "So I said "Well, the chairman's got one." "Ask him."" "Of course, Colin Chapman was delighted that we wanted his car." "We did the famous scene where the Lotus comes out of the water." "Of course cars don't do that." "Lotuses don't." "Where you see it coming up onto the beach, it was on a big cable which we pulled out." "The scene launches a Bond film tradition." "For the next two movies, "Moonraker"... and "For Your Eyes Only", this mysterious character reappears." "That was a ghastly in-joke of Lewis Gilbert and myself." "The man is called Victor Tourjansky." "He was one of the best local assistant directors." "I have done a few parts here and there, like helping out at the last moment when an actor was not on time or something." "They asked me to do it, so I said "Let's try."" ""Can I use a bottle, so I will do like a double take?"" "I was looking first at the Lotus, then at the bottle." "He said "Do anything you want and let's see." But he was happy." "Filmmakers had gotten the Lotus out of the water, but getting it into the water proves to be a difficult challenge." "Can you swim?" "All that was done as a model in the Bahamas." "I said I needed, I think it was seven cars." "Seven shells." "When it first went into the sea, that was shot with one of the dummy cars." "It had a big tube." "It was like... fired on air." "The first shot you see underwater was a miniature." "When the wheels go up inside, that had to be one car." "Then the arch filled in with..." "like a fairing." "That had to be another car." "Then the fins came out - that was another car." "Everything's designed to operate for the 30 seconds, or minute, or however long the camera is running, just purely for that purpose." "It doesn't work before and it doesn't work afterwards." "One car was sent to Perry Submarines in Miami and they motorised it." "Old man Perry was a real character." "One of them was a designer-engineer, always trying to do new things." "He thought that was a great challenge, and he did it." "He turned one of these Lotus cars into a submarine." "It hasn't any air in it." "It's just guys in wet suits." "They have breathing apparatus, so there's water inside the sub." "The unit in the Bahamas also shoots the mammoth model of Stromberg's lair, Atlantis, the model submarines, and the biggest miniature of them all - the Liparus supertanker." "As it had to swallow the submarines, I worked out a size for those, and then scaled the supertanker to the submarines." "He came up with a model of the tanker that was about 65ft long." "We had a 48-horsepower Evinrude engine, which we didn't put outboard, we put it inboard." "That gave us the wash that we needed." "I'd looked at all these shots of a supertanker and you get something like a three-mile wash behind it." "We invited the people from Shell to see the film." "We invited the captain of the vessel." "They said "How did you get a real tanker?"" "We said "We didn't." "That's a model."" "The captain of that vessel didn't realise that there was not a single shot of his ship in the movie." "It was all model." "They just couldn't believe it." "It was so realistic." "That's the greatest compliment about a model unit you'll ever get." "When one is in Egypt, one should delve deeply into its treasures." "On the other side of the Atlantic, the 1st Unit travels to Egypt." "We were about ten days or two weeks before we were due to arrive to film when we got a message from the Government that they were taking over both hotels during the period we would be shooting." "It took two days to get a call through to England." "We had difficulty, in fact, getting our film in and out as there were no faxes, telephones, or anything else that worked." "And the worst times were when we shot... by the pyramids." "We went to the pyramids to see the "son et lumiére", whether it could be lit." "You could light the Sphinx, but the pyramids in that distance, you couldn't." "I also... got over from Hollywood a brilliant visual-effects artist." "Alan Maley was asked to come in and head up a team, and Alan asked me if I'd like to work with him on the optical unit." "He'd won an Oscar for "Bedknobs and Broomsticks", and he was Peter Lamont's cousin." "My cousin, who collaborated with us on the picture, he made the little models." "There were no pyramids." "They were never shot." "They were all models." "And all the audience were models." "There was one shot they needed which the 1st Unit hadn't shot:" "Roger standing and looking at the pyramids." "And they never shot it." "And they never shot a plate or anything." "And Alan said "Let's go to the Publicity Department and find out what stills there are of Roger, if there's any profile shots of Roger."" "So we found this still of Roger, looking, and Alan made a large print of it, and... we did the cutaway of Roger watching the pyramids with a still, and nobody noticed." "There were some problems the crew faced in Egypt that even a top visual-effects unit could not solve." "The food was very depressing." "The food was pretty diabolical." "No question about that." "I had a deputation from the crew saying "Look, Bill, could we shoot right through this location and not bother with a day off?"" "Cubby, who was a good general, said" ""We'll bring all the food from England in one big refrigerated truck."" "It was all being shipped in and we had visions of this great kitchen coming in with his chef." "They opened the door to the truck, hoping to see all these wonderful legs of lamb etc." "Nothing." "There was nothing in the truck at all." "Just empty." "For Cubby Broccoli this is a key moment." "This is his film, and his film alone." "I could see a lot of very... upset technicians and workmen, and I very quickly had to think what I could do." "You know, it's the ultimate responsibility of the producer to feed and water the crew." "Being a sort of a cook around the house, and I do a lot of amateur cooking," "I decided I would cook up a big spaghetti do for the boys cos I knew they liked that sort of thing." "So Cubby got in a jeep with one of the crew, and they went searching for pots and pans and pasta and tomatoes." "I had to fly someone in to Cairo to get the spaghetti." "Cubby got in the catering wagon, with his other caterers there, and he cooked mountains of spaghetti." "This is the producer, with an apron on, and he's cooking for the whole unit." "And they were so delighted, they all applauded at the end of it." "If you go to Ramasseum now, in the restaurant there, which we took over, there's a sign on the wall which says "Trattoria Broccoli"." "After that, Cubby could do no wrong." "Cubby was so loved by the crews on location because he really cared about everybody." "I don't know any other producer who would have gone to that trouble." "To show his appreciation for their hard work in Egypt," "Cubby announces a paid holiday for the crew upon their return to London." "Of course, the most challenging aspect of the film still had to be shot." "At the time, there was no stage which... would have served both as a tank and... big enough to house three nuclear-powered submarines." "We tried finding locations where we could find a huge hangar or something." "We looked all over for a place to do it." "That's where my decision has to come in and my decision did come in." "We'll have to build the stage in the studio." "I decided not to make the same error, maybe, as I did on "You Only Live Twice"" "when I designed the volcano crater on the back lot of Pinewood." "We couldn't leave it standing because from the outside it was an eyesore." "So this time I designed the stage around the set." "What will lead you into the set, which is going to be the submarine, because that's going to be pretty big in the foreground..." "Ken Adam's plan was to build the set inside as the outside went up." "I was instructed to document the growth of this extraordinary stage." "And I would go up every day, or once a week, depending on what kind of dramatic stuff was happening, and I'd photograph it." "We were completing the set as they were putting the cover on and doing the sides." "I think our major concern as filmmakers was:" "Was it gonna get up?" "From the time we started to build the cover, 13 weeks later we shot the set." "The design challenge was really to give that hold of the supertanker's an interesting look." "It was again a huge collaboration by all the trades to get it done." "And they were extraordinary." "So they built this huge..." "which became known as the 007 Stage." "One of the chaps that was most interested in seeing how things were progressing was Claude Renoir, the cameraman." "Hold that frame, then turn a bit more..." " Turn it right." " Right, yes." "Claude Renoir was one of the nicest... and most capable directors of photography." "Claude, of course, was the grandson of Renoir the painter." "He was one of the great cameramen of the world." "Bardot wouldn't do a picture without him." "What I didn't know is that Claude was having some trouble with his eyesight." "I felt he was very nervous... to be catapulted into a gigantic set... like the interior of the supertanker." "Because he'd never had to deal with that sort." "I'd take him down there and show him this enormous set, and he looks at it, and I said to Claude: "Tell us what you need to light this thing."" "And he said "To tell you the truth, Bill, I actually can't see the end of the set."" ""So, really, it doesn't matter what I need because I can't see to the end of it."" "Since the dimensions were enormous," "I wanted to get another opinion on how to use my practicals and whether to improve on them and so on." "For that second opinion, Ken Adam turns to legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick." "He said I must be mad." "You know." "Nobody must know." "Stanley would have done it in an extremely low-key, I'm-not-here kind of a way." ""I will guarantee... that nobody will ever know that you came."" "And I talked him into it." "He did do that, and... helped enormously." "Stanley came, and spent three or four hours with me on that set." "It was a very difficult set to light." "Not only because of the vastness, but because of all the shiny surfaces." "I remember he said to Ken" ""Why don't you use floodlights as part of the set lighting?"" ""So, in effect, you're lighting the set."" "The set is a triumph, securing Ken Adam and his team an Academy Award nomination." "The 007 Stage is launched on December 5th, 1976 with all the fanfare of an aircraft carrier." "Former Prime Minister Sir Harold Wilson performs the ceremony." "I felt a certain amount of pride when all these dignitaries arrived." "It was quite exciting, really." "When you actually walk in the set and it's all dressed to film, it is extraordinary." "Absolutely extraordinary." "It was a wonderful set, and it looked terrific on the screen." "It was bigger inside than outside, if you know what I mean." "You stood at the end of it, and it was like... wow!" ""The Spy Who Loved Me" premieres July 7th, 1977." "7.7.77 proves to be a very lucky date for James Bond, and for the sole producer of the James Bond films," "Albert R "Cubby" Broccoli." "The success of "Spy" was important." "It was Cubby's first film as sole producer of the Bond movies." "We all knew it would be one of the greatest films." "The film's worldwide success proves once and for all that nobody does it better." "Hope you enjoyed the show." "Good night." "I deliver perfection..." "and don't brag about it!" ":" "D" "Captain wants you to keep 500ft." "Manoeuvring, Control." "Come in shallow to 500ft." " Keep 500ft." " Keep 500ft, sir." "What the hell's going on, Eddie?" "Emergency stations." "Emergency stations." "Captain to the control room." " What the hell's going on?" " Control, Manoeuvring." " Control." " I'm losing electrical frequency." " I'll have to break down the system." " Control, Sound Room." "Total loss of power on all sonar sets." "Surface." "Blow forward, blow aft." "Rise on both planes." "Raise the search periscope." "Oh, my God!" "Put him through." "Good morning, sir." "No, First Sea Lord." "No, there's been no contact with Ranger yet, sir." "No." "No sightings, no distress signals, sir." "It looks very much like it." "Yes." "Yes, of course I will, sir." "We've lost one of our nuclear submarines." "What?" "The submarine Potemkin disappeared without trace?" "But what a catastrophe, Comrade Chairman." "Yes, of course." "I will assign our best agent immediately." "Rubelvitch, where is Agent Triple X?" "On leave, General." "At the People's Rest and Recuperation Centre." "It's been a wonderful weekend." " I shall never forget it." " Nor will I." "When can we meet again?" "As soon as my mission is accomplished." "I must go." "I have to be in Austria tonight." "Five more minutes." "Agent Triple X." "Calling Agent Triple X. You will report to headquarters immediately." "Agent Triple X, acknowledge and verify." "This is Triple X. Message received and understood." "Yes, Mr Prime Minister." "I understand the gravity of the situation." "Yes, I'll put our best man on it at once." "Goodbye." "Moneypenny, where's 007?" "He's on a mission, sir." "In Austria." "Tell him to pull out." "Immediately." "Oh, James." "I cannot find the words." "Let me try and enlarge your vocabulary." " What happened?" "Where are you going?" " Sorry." "Something came up." "But, James, I need you." "So does England." "He has just left." "He has just left." "Over and out." "Message received." "We are waiting." "Over and out." "Now."

"Morning, Commander." "Admiral Hargreaves, Flag Officer Submarines." " Ark Royal, wasn't it?" " Yes, sir." " I believe M told you about this." " Yes, Minister." "Over here, please, gentlemen." "This is Ranger's prearranged course to her patrol area?" "That's right." " Who knew this course?" " Admiral Hargreaves, myself, and Talbot, the captain of the submarine." "Good God!" " Where did this come from?" " For the moment that's top secret." "I see, sir." "This means the Russians can track our submarines underwater and sink them." " I believe it does." " How could they?" "It's impossible." "No." "It's quite simple, really." "Heat-signature recognition most likely." " With your permission, Minister?" " Yes, of course." "We already know that satellites with infrared heat sensors can detect a nuclear missile in flight by its tail fire." " Well?" " Someone can now locate a submerged nuclear submarine in exactly the same way - by its wake." "But that means they can totally undermine our Western defence strategy." "It looks like it, yes." " Where did we get the tracing, Freddie?" " Cairo." "Diplomatic bag." "Somebody got hold of the plans of that tracking system and is trying to sell them." "They sent us that tracing as proof that it's genuine." "If there is a deal to be made, the price is going to be high." "High?" "Astronomical." "That missing submarine had 16 Polaris missiles aboard." " I take it we have a contact in Egypt?" " M will give you the details." "You leave tonight." " Dr Bechmann and Professor Markovitz." " Thank you." "Well, gentlemen, now that the moment has come to bid you farewell," "I congratulate both you, Doctor, and you, Professor, on your brilliant work in the development of the submarine tracking system." "Thanks primarily to you, I'm happy to say that the first phase of our operation has met with considerable success." "I have instructed my assistant to have paid into your Swiss bank account the sum of ten million dollars each." " Thank you, sir." " Thank you indeed." "And that, I think, concludes our business." "Before you go, however, I very much regret to inform you that a dangerous development has recently been brought to my notice." "Someone has been attempting to sell the plans of our tracking project to competing world powers." "Someone intimately associated with the project." "My dear, it would perhaps be more seemly if you were to leave us." "Thank you." "It was you who betrayed me." "You had access to all the information." "And now you will pay the penalty." "Once again, gentlemen, my most profound thanks." " Sandor." " Yes, sir." "Jaws." "I'm assigning you the task of recovering the microfilm copy of the tracking system." "Sandor, you will go with him." "Obey him." "Every person who even comes into contact with that microfilm is to be eliminated." "Stand by for helicopter takeoff." "All personnel clear of the flight-deck platform." "Cancel transfer of 20 million dollars." "Inform next of kin that a tragic accident has resulted in the deaths of Professor Markovitz and Dr Bechmann." "The funeral was at sea." " Fadel Kadeer." " Garabna." "Shukran." " Shukran." " Afwan." " Assalaam alaykum." " Alaykum assalaam." "May the peace of Allah descend upon this abode and allow a poor traveller to enter." "May the hospitality of these miserable quarters be sufficient to your needs." "James Bond!" "What a delightful surprise after all these years." "Do sit down." "Thank you." "I wondered what you were going to do when you went down from Cambridge." "I never had any problems knowing what you were going to do, Hosein. "Shukran."" "We don't only have oil, you know." "What can I offer you?" "Sheep's eyes, dates?" "Vodka martini?" "Information." "Who is putting the submarine tracking system on the market?" "What a pity it is you persist in being so businesslike." "The gentleman you will eventually be dealing with is a certain Max Kalba." " Eventually?" " To reach Kalba, you must first make contact with a man called Fekkesh, Aziz Fekkesh." "I'll give you the address of his apartment in Cairo, but it's too late to meet today." "Can I persuade you to accept a bed for the night?" "It's kind of you, Hosein, but..." "I really feel I..." "Are you quite sure I can't persuade you to stay the night?" "When one is in Egypt, one should delve deeply into its treasures." "Mr Bond." "Yes." "I'm sorry." "The door was open." "Mr Fekkesh is expecting me." "I phoned him." "He asked me to give you a message." "He will be a little late." "May I ask where he is?" "Mr Fekkesh asked me to entertain you while you are waiting." "Really?" "Where is Fekkesh?" " You are very suspicious, Mr Bond." " I find I live much longer that way." "Now, where is he?" "If there's anything you would like..." "Anything at all..." "I had lunch, but..." "I seem to have missed dessert." "As urgent as my appointment is, I'd hate him to walk in and surprise us." "There is no danger of that." "He's gonna be some time, then, is he?" "Is he meeting someone?" "I'm sorry." "I cannot answer that question." "I think you can." "No!" "Where's Fekkesh?" " Where's Fekkesh?" " Pyramids." "What a helpful chap." "You have come tonight to the most fabulous and celebrated place in the world." "Here on the plateau of Giza stands for ever the mightiest of human achievements." "No traveller, emperor, merchant or poet has trodden on these sands and not gasped in awe." "The curtain of night is about to rise and disclose the stage on which the drama of a civilisation took place." "Those involved have been present since the dawn of history, pitched stubbornly against sand and wind." "And the voice of the desert has crossed the centuries." "Excuse me, Major." "I'll be back in a moment." "With each new dawn, I see the sun god rise on the far bank of the Nile." "I am the faithful warden at the foot of his lord, so faithful, so vigilant, so near him that he gave me his face for my own." "I am a Pharaoh's companion, and I am he, the Pharaoh." "This is the tomb of Cheops," "Pharaoh of the fourth dynasty 4,500 years ago." "Here is the great pyramid which he built to defend himself against death." "Here in the depths of this tomb a servant of the king awaits the call to set out upon his journey into eternity." "Death lies waiting." " Where is Fekkesh?" " With the Pharaohs." " You killed him." " No, he was dead when I found him." "Hope you enjoyed the show." "Good night." "What an unexpected pleasure." "Welcome to the Mujaba Club." "Buy you a drink, Major Amasova?" "Or may I call you Triple X?" "So you know who I am." "You made quite an impression." "I'm sorry about Ivan and Boris." " They exceeded their orders." " Good staff "is" hard to find these days." " Yes, sir?" " The lady'll have a Bacardi on the rocks." "For the gentleman, vodka martini, shaken not stirred." "Touché." "Commander James Bond, recruited to the British Secret Service from the Royal Navy." "Licensed to kill, and has done so on numerous occasions." "Many lady friends, but married only once." " Wife killed..." " All right, you've made your point." " You're sensitive, Mr Bond." " About certain things, yes." "Now, if you'll excuse me, tragically, I have a previous engagement." "Happily enough, so do I." " Goodbye, Mr Bond." " Let's say "au revoir"." "I have the oddest feeling we'll be meeting again sometime." " I'm looking for a Mr Kalba." " Mr Max Kalba is the owner of the club." "Over there." "Mr Kalba, my name is Bond, James Bond." "What of it?" "You had an appointment with a Mr Fekkesh." "Well?" "He won't be joining you." " You have something I might like to buy." " Just a moment." "I would like to bid for it, too." "You forgot your drink, Mr Bond." "Thank you. "Na zdoroviye."" "It seems you have competition, Mr Bond, and from where I sit, I fancy you will find the lady's figure hard to match." "Might the contestants at least be permitted to view the article for sale?" "Well, now, who will start the bidding?" "Mr Kalba, sir." "The telephone." "An urgent call." "Excuse me." "Pardon me." "This is Kalba." "Allô?" "Allô?" "Another?" "We've really got to stop meeting like this." "Kalba was called to the phone." "What happened?" "He was cut off... permanently." "The microfilm." "Where is it?" "Search me." "He must have it, or "you" wouldn't be here." "You don't know who he is." "He's on our records." "A professional killer." "Called Jaws?" "Make no mistake, Mr Bond." "I want that microfilm..." "and I'm going to get it." "Unless I get it first." "Watch out!" "Don't move." "The microfilm." "Give it to me." "Egyptian builders." "Sorry." "You're just too late." "Give me the key." "The key!" "Give it to me." "The key!" "Try the big one." "Can you play any other tune?" "Let's try reverse - that's backwards." "Would you like me to drive?" " Women drivers." " Quiet!" "Watch this." "Shaken, but not stirred." "That gorilla must have his teeth fixed by a riveter." "By the way, thanks for deserting me back there." "Every woman for herself, remember?" "Still, you... you did save my life." "We all make mistakes, Mr Bond." "The cylinder-head gasket." "Hey! "Stanna!"" " Khuddni lil Kaa Hira." " Aywa, tfadal." " What did he say?" " He thinks we're overdressed," " but he'll take us to Cairo." " Good." "It's getting cold." "Is there..." "anything I can do to warm you up?" "You don't have to worry about me, Mr Bond." "I went on a survival course in Siberia." "Yes, I... believe a great number of your countrymen do." " What did they teach you?" " That it's very important to have a positive mental attitude." "Nothing more practical than that?" "Food is also very important." "What else?" "When necessary, shared bodily warmth." "That's the part I like." " Is this really what they do in Siberia?" " Yes, but not "how" they do it." "You're not trying to take advantage of me, are you?" "The thought never crossed my mind." "Just when it was getting interesting." "Where's the girl?" " Fein el bent?" " El bent, enta w'nayem rahet." "Morning, Moneypenny." "Is he in?" "My, it must have been quite a party." "Boring, Moneypenny." "As a matter of fact, I dropped off." " Hello, James." "We've been expecting you." " Good morning, sir." "There's been a change of plan." "You probably recognise my opposite number in the KGB." "General Gogol." "And I believe you're familiar with Major Amasova." "Enough to know which cigarettes she smokes." "Our respective governments have agreed to pool their resources to find out what happened to our submarines." "We have entered a new era of Anglo-Soviet cooperation." "And as a sign of Russian good faith," "I'm prepared to make available the microfilm recovered by Agent Triple X." "With considerable ease, I might add." "Don't bother with it." "It's useless." "I examined it on the boat." "I assure you it is quite genuine." "Except that the vital technical information has been taken out." "This was only intended to whet our appetites." "Maybe Q can make something out of it." "I want that ready for Ahmed's tea party." " After you, Alexis." " No, no." "After you, Miles." "Thank you." "That could bring tears to your eyes." "Everybody ready?" "Right." "Now, we're pretty certain that this drawing was drafted in Italy." "The size corresponds with a Venetian octavo, and the typeface is an Italian one." "Now, note the slight upward stress on the transversals." "Q, what's that mark there?" "Probably something the drawing was resting on when it was photographed." "Must have been done in a hurry." " Can you enlarge it?" " Mm." "Wait a minute." "Oratory." "What is that?" " It's another word for chapel." " Looks a bit like a bishop's mitre." "It is a fish." "That is the symbol of the Stromberg shipping line." "Karl Stromberg is one of the richest men in the world." "One of the principal capitalist exploiters of the West, sir." "It's not oratory, it's laboratory." "Stromberg has a marine research laboratory." "On Corsica, I believe." "Well done, James." "Actually, sir, it is in "Sardegna"." "That's brilliant." "I'm certain that two such perceptive talents will enjoy working together in Sardinia, and that it will help to make Anglo-Soviet cooperation a reality." "Here we are." "That was a delicious meal." "Thank you." "I didn't realise you had such a healthy appetite." "Neither did I. It must be travelling by train." "I always enjoy it." "I remember when..." " What do you remember?" " I was going to talk about a mission." "Silly, isn't it?" "We can't talk and yet we're in the same business." " But with rival companies." " We're not rivals at the moment." "No." "Then... how about a nightcap on the company? "My" company." "I'm very sorry." "I have an idea tomorrow's going to be a busy day." "I must sleep." "Yes." "Well, then, sleep well." "And you." " Good night." " Good night." "What happened?" "He just dropped in for a quick bite." "You're hurt." "Later." "Let's worry about you." "What was it they taught you on that survival course?" "A positive mental attitude." "And shared bodily warmth." "Nothing about keeping out of draughts." "Still enjoy travelling by train?" "You saved my life." "Thank you, James." "I'm sorry." "Why don't you lie down and let me look at it?" "What can we use for a bandage?" "How about this?" "Grazie." "Wait a moment." " Good morning, Major Boothroyd." " Morning." "Look what Q's brought for us." "Isn't it nice?" "Right, pay attention, 007." "I want you to take great care of this equipment." " There are one or two accessories..." " Q, have I ever let you down?" "Frequently." " Buongiorno." " Buongiorno, signore e signora." "You have a reservation for me." "Sterling." "Ah, yes." "Mr and Mrs Sterling." "Booked from Cairo." " That's right." " We have suite A5 for you." "A sitting room... and two bedrooms." "Moneypenny being a little over-efficient." "Do you have any messages for me?" "Thank you." "Excellent." "We have been granted an audience." " Mr Sterling?" " Yes." "I'm Naomi." "Mr Stromberg sent me to collect you." "How do you do?" "This is my wife, who also happens to be my assistant." " You are on holiday here?" " Where there's an ocean, a marine biologist is never on holiday." "Can we offer you a drink before we go?" "No, thank you." "Mr Stromberg's a very busy man." "His time is precious." "What a handsome craft." "Such lovely lines." "Thank you." "Very impressive." "I wonder if you'd show my wife around while I'm with Mr Stromberg." " Of course." "This way." " Thank you." "Now, don't be a bother to Naomi, darling." "I'll be back soon." "Oh, by the way, Mr Stromberg prefers not to shake hands." " It's the third button." " Thank you." "Why do we seek to conquer space, when seven tenths of our universe remains to be explored?" "The world beneath the sea." "You seem to be well-equipped to repair that oversight, Mr Stromberg." "My name is Sterling, Robert Sterling." "It's very kind of you to receive me." "Not at all." "It's always a pleasure to welcome someone with a mutual interest." "An extraordinary number of rare species." "You recognise that variety, of course." "Of course." "Pterois volitans." "Other fish avoid it." "Those dorsal spines are laden with venom." "Handsome but deadly." "I see you know your subject, Mr Sterling." "One tries." "You have a remarkable establishment here, Mr Stromberg." "I'm somewhat of a recluse." "I wish to conduct my life on my own terms and in surroundings with which I can identify." "That is a privilege of wealth." "Don't you miss the outside world?" "For me, this is all the world." "There is beauty, there is ugliness, and there is death." "I think you will find "this" interesting, Mr Sterling." " An underwater city." " Fascinating, isn't it?" " The only hope for the future of mankind." " We all have our dreams." "No dream, Mr Sterling." "Soon a reality." "I'm afraid you must excuse me." "I have business to attend to." "Goodbye, Mr Sterling." "And if we don't meet again," "I wish you luck with your research." "Thank you." "The brief glimpse you've afforded me today will only encourage me to redouble my efforts." "Goodbye, Mr Stromberg." " How interesting." " There you are." "Darling, you should look at this model." "It's beautiful." "This is the Liparus, the latest addition to the Stromberg fleet, launched nine months ago." "Over a million tons, it's the largest tanker in the world." "After the Karl Marx, of course." "Really, darling?" "It's amazing the items of information you store away." "Were they the two on the train?" "James Bond." "And the woman is Major Amasova, a Russian agent." "Let them get ashore... and then kill them." "You're being secretive." "Where are we going?" "I want another look at that Stromberg laboratory." "Could he operate the tracking system from there?" "It's possible." "All we know for sure is that two nuclear submarines are missing." "What did you think of the model?" "There was something strange about the design of her bows." "M's checking her out." " James, that motorcycle..." " Has been following us for the last mile." "All those feathers and he still can't fly." " James, there's..." " I know." "Don't tell me." "Mamma mia!" "Che é successo?" "Oddio, tutto distrutto!" "Do you ever get the feeling somebody doesn't like you?" "Can you swim?" "It's time we said goodbye to an uninvited guest." "Alone at last." "That's what we've come to look at." "James!" "Brace yourself." "Look!" "How did you know about that?" "I stole the blueprints of this car two years ago." "Can we make it?" " Hello." " Hello." " I have a message for you." " I think you just delivered it." "Thank you." "Sorry to interrupt you, but I asked M for a list of all the ports" " the Stromberg tanker had called at." " And what is the answer?" "Since she was fitted out, there is no record of her putting into port anywhere." "That's very odd... if it's true." "We don't make mistakes of that sort." "You sound just like a Russian." "I think we should take a closer look at that tanker, don't you?" "Yes, I do." " Shall I contact Gogol?" " There's no need." "M has already offered to fix it." " Very nice." " It's Austrian." "I bought it in Berngarten." " Berngarten?" " Yes, I was doing some skiing." " When was this?" " About three weeks ago." "Why?" "Do you recognise him?" "No." "Who is he?" "The man I loved." "He was in Berngarten three weeks ago." "Did you kill him?" "When someone's behind you on skis trying to put a bullet in your back, you don't always have time to remember a face." "In our business, Anya, people get killed." "We both know that." "So did he." "It was either him or me." "The answer to the question is yes." "I did kill him." "Then... when this mission is over, I will kill you." "Come in." " Commander Carter?" " That's right." "Welcome aboard." "Major." "Have a seat." " Can I get you something?" " Not for me." "I don't know about the major." "Maj..." "I'm sorry." "I hadn't expected you to be a woman." "Aboard this vessel, Commander, I am Major Amasova of the Russian army." " Yeah, sure." " It's good of you to help us out." " Got a couple of cabins at your disposal." " Thank you." "Major, you're welcome to use the shower in my quarters." "You do not have to show me any special favours, Commander." "All the same, I think it might be better if I did." "From COMSUB Atlantic, sir." "Right." "What's the matter, sailor?" "You never seen a major taking a shower before?" "Stand by for second observation on target." "Up scope." "Check." "Target bearing." "Mark." "Range." "Mark." "Down scope." " One division in high power." " Range: 6,200 yards, sir." " Angle on the bow, port 50." " Torpedo Room." "Boarding party ready." "Captain, sir." "Our best solution for the target is 120, speed three knots." "Officer of the deck, come right north." "Tell Manoeuvring to make turns for 11 knots." "Which bullet has my name on it, the first or the last?" "I have never failed on a mission, Commander." "Any mission." "In that case, Major, one of us is bound to end up gravely disappointed, because neither have I..." "Control, Manoeuvring." "We're losing electrical frequency." "Control, Sonar." "Total power supplies failure." "Surface." "Blow forward." "Blow aft." "Up scope." "Stand by." "Where the hell is she?" "My God." "She's right behind us." "Impossible." "Stand by at Number Two Dock." "Containment Crews, take up positions." "Dock Officer to Operations." "Mobilisation Crew entering dock area." "Number Two Dock to Operations." "25m to run." "I say again, 25m to run." "Activate Number Two Dock." "Operations Room, Number Two Dock." "Docking now complete." "Disembarkation Crew moving into position." "S- ray programme completed." "Magnetic field shut down." "All systems normal." "Limpet speaker in position, sir." "Commander, you have precisely two minutes to open your hatches and surrender your ship." "The alternative is extermination... by cyanide gas." "Well?" "There's no alternative." "Now, hear this." "Your captain speaking." "Open all hatches and proceed quietly onto the casing." "Hurry, Commander!" "I'm not renowned for my patience!" "OK, two ranks!" "Move it out!" "Stay close to me." "We'll try and hide you." "Our time is limited, Captain." " Commence operations forthwith." " Yes, sir." "Attention all personnel." "Stromberg Crews One and Two, embark your submarines." "Put the Americans in with the others, Captain." "Remove the prisoners." "Don't look up." "You're on Candid Camera." "Complete nuclear missile loading." "Operations, Bridge." "Altering course number to 340, coming up to six knots." "Operations, Engine Room." "Revolutions 96 set." "Anya!" "Operations, Radar." "No contacts within 25,000m." "Bring those two prisoners here." "Operations Room, Sonar." "No contacts, no transmissions." "James Bond and Major Amasova." "You have certainly been persistent." "Very well." "Now your curiosity can be satisfied." "Both crews aboard, sir." "Missile onload completed." "They have already been given their targets." "At 12 noon they will have reached firing positions." "Within minutes, New York and Moscow..." "will cease to exist." "Global destruction will follow." "The new era will begin." "Submarines One and Two, commence departure drill." "All right, Stromberg." "You've made your point." "How much do you want?" "How much?" "Whatever do you mean, Mr Bond?" "The price for "not" firing those nuclear missiles." "You're deluded, Mr Bond." "I'm not interested in extortion." "I intend to change the face of history." " By destroying the world?" " By creating a world." "A new and beautiful world beneath the sea." "Today civilisation as we know it is corrupt and decadent." "Inevitably, it will destroy itself." "I'm merely accelerating the process." "That does not justify mass murder." "For that, Major," "I will accept the judgment of posterity." "Submarines ready for departure, sir." "Open bow doors, Captain." "Stromberg One, you are clear to proceed to sea." "Stromberg Two, you are also clear to proceed to sea." "Observe, Mr Bond." "The instruments of Armageddon." "Put this man with the rest of the prisoners." "No, no, no, no." "The lady will be travelling to Atlantis with me." "Farewell, Mr Bond." "That word has, I must admit, a welcome ring of permanency about it." "Au revoir, Anya." "Bring her." "Get that man at all costs!" "Keep going." "Call him over." " Where's your captain?" " Here." " Release the crews." "Go to the armoury." " Follow me, men." "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Seal the operations room." "You!" "Stand by over there!" "Help yourselves to firearms!" "Grab a weapon!" "Come on, let's go!" "We've taken both sides of the lower dock area, but I'm afraid your captain's dead." "We're still no closer to that control room." "Leave it to me, sir." "Andrews, James, Marshall, Purvis!" "Follow me!" "That armour plating is inches thick." "We'll never get through it." " Let's get to the armoury." " What's there?" " A nuclear missile." " A nuc...?" "Hey, wait!" "This could take hours, sir." " You got a date?" " No, sir." "Now you are beautiful." "I'm sorry if you feel less than comfortable." "But you have a tendency to violence that has to be controlled." " What is it?" " I... have to report, sir, a break-out by some of the prisoners." "That is unfortunate, Captain." "However, we now have the situation under control." "The operations room is quite impregnable." "Then we must hope, Captain, that you will suffer no further... mishap." "OK." "All I need is the detonator." "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" "There has to be a first time for everything." "Blast!" "What's the problem?" "I mustn't touch the impulse conductor circuit." "This ring houses the impulse conductor circuit." "It's magnetic." "I mustn't touch it with any part of the detonator." " What happens if you do?" " It'll go off." " Give me a number six detonator." " Aye aye, sir." "Number six, sir." "Thank you." "Did you fix that 20-second fuse?" "Yes, sir." "Here it is." " Plastic explosive." " Plastic explosive." " Is it proceeding according to plan?" " Yes, sir." "Excellent." " Sir!" " What is it?" "The monitor's faded." "Change the circuit." "Cease fire!" "You're too late, Bond." "Our submarines are already on station." "In four minutes the missiles will be launched." " The transmission unit:" "Can you work it?" " Sure." "But we've only got three minutes!" "If we find the position of the submarines, maybe we can reprogramme them." " To do what?" " To destroy each other." "James!" "The globe!" "Take the position of the first submarine and pass it on to the second as her target." " And vice versa." " Exactly." "Missile Control, this is the captain." "We have a change of target." "New coordinates are: 034285219." "Missile Control." "Captain." "We have a new target." "Everybody back on board the submarine!" "Pass it on!" "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Come on!" "Foster, get those lines cleared!" "Come on!" "Leaver, throw those guys a line!" "Get those fenders cleared!" "Forward and aft!" " Get the submarine at diving stations!" " Diving stations!" "Manoeuvring." "Reactor into half-power state." "Ready to check telegraphs." "All personnel, take up positions fast!" "Get Roberts to the gyro unit." "Come on!" "Move it!" " Stand by to revert to normal lighting." " Come on." "Get that hatch shut." "Quick." "Torpedo Room, Control." "Load tube one with Mark 46 torpedo." "Open outer door on tube one." " Select zero gyro angle." " Select zero gyro angle." " Outer door on tube one open." " Match bearings and shoot." " Set." " Shoot." "Torpedo running." " Rudder amidships." "Ahead two thirds." " Rudder amidships." "Ahead two thirds." " Left seven degrees rudder." " Left seven degrees rudder." "How far would you say?" "Mm." "About 10,000 yards, sir." "Commander." "Close it." "I got this signal from the Pentagon." ""On instructions from the Security Council, destroy Atlantis fast."" " What does fast mean?" " Battle stations five minutes." "With torpedoes?" "Yes." " He has Anya on there." " I know, James." "I'm sorry." " I have to get her off." " How?" "The equipment Q sent for me." "Can I have it?" "Sure." "Barton." "That package for Commander Bond - bring it in quick." " I need an hour." " That comes from the top!" "40 minutes." "You're gonna get me court-martialled." "OK." "One hour." "Come in." "Here, I'll give you a hand." "Good evening, Mr Bond." "I've been expecting you." "Stay where you are." "I'll send the elevator down for you." "Goodbye, Mr Bond." "You did want me to drop in." " Where's Anya?" " Well, well, well." "A British agent in love with a Russian agent." "Détente indeed." "Sit down, Mr Bond." "Your time's running out, Stromberg." "Yours too, Mr Bond." "Yours too." "And faster than you think." "You've shot your bolt, Stromberg." "Now it's my turn." "How does that grab you?" "We're five minutes overdue, Captain." "James!" "Stromberg?" "Dead." "So are we unless we get out of here fast." "Match bearings and shoot." "Maybe I misjudged Stromberg." "Any man who drinks Dom Pérignon '52 can't be all bad." "The mission is over, Commander." "In my country the condemned man is usually allowed a final request." "Granted." "Let's get out of these wet things." "But, James," " what would our superiors say?" " They're never going to know." "Lower the stern gate." " Is there a danger of the bends?" " We'll soon find out." "James!" " 007!" " Triple X!" "Bond, what do you think you're doing?" "Keeping the British end up, sir."
