"Until a few years ago, this had never been successfully done." "However, I decided this would be the way to go for a flying machine, to improve on the ones which we were using at that time." "We were able to sit in the machine and, by weight movement, control its flight." "I discovered that when the towline was disconnected, the kite had a beautiful glide characteristic, and in fact could be controlled more easily than it could under tow." "I truly felt that I was the first man to really feel like a bird, in that I was flying with no other assistance whatsoever, and just supported by my wings, as you might call them." "I'd progressed from... plastic and bamboo to sophisticated, modern space-age materials, aluminum and Dacron and stainless steel, which enabled us to go higher with more confidence." "Put this arm through the rope like that." "Take the pressure off your shoulders by swinging the kite forward." "By doing that you're reducing the angle of attack." "The same as when you're flying, if you're climbing too rapidly, the kite will climb quicker than a 707." "Pull the bar in, which is the same thing as doing that." "Reducing the angle of attack of the kite will reduce its climb, and put you on a straighter course." " When Guy says "Let go", that's all I do?" " Right?" "When you get to sail above the house, you'll be at about 1,000 feet altitude." "When the director gives you the visual signal or the audio signal to disconnect, you'll pull that lever and it drops away." "From then on you are free-falling, flying all by yourself." "You're going to land in that area we told you about." "OK, good luck." "We'll see you at the house." "OK." "and the world seems to be turning away from James Bond." "The '60s are over, and Sean Connery has left the role of 007." "Many critics say James Bond is dead." "Welcome to the story of the film that proves them wrong." "So the problem was going to be a new Bond and it was obviously the biggest part that had not been cast in all of show business." "And the favourite was, for a while, Burt Reynolds." "I'd seen a TV show and I thought the guy was terrific." "Had all the right elements for Bond." "Cubby had a thing about Bond being over 6ft." "He wanted Bond to be tall." "And the second and most important thing was he said you can't do Bond and not have him be British." "It's absolutely ridiculous." "It would be like casting an Englishman in a John Wayne part in a Western - it doesn't work." "While the producers search for a new 007, they must also develop a Bond story for the new generation of movie-goers." "Cubby said to me, "Here are several books."" ""Which one would you like to do?"" "I wanted to do "Live And Let Die" because I thought it had more of an edge to it." "Because all the villains were black and I knew it was a very chancy thing, because we were making it in the time of the Black Panthers, we were making it in the time of really a black revolution." "While Tom Mankiewicz transforms lan Fleming's most controversial novel into a screenplay," "Guy Hamilton begins looking for locations." "Tom knew that I was a jazz buff and he said, "You'd love New Orleans."" "I said, "Come on, Tom, we're not going to do the Mardi Gras because Terence Young has done that with the Junkanoo."" ""What else is in New Orleans?" "Oh, there are jazz funerals."" "In about five minutes flat, we conned up that sequence." "Whose funeral is it?" "Yours." "But I knew that Mr Broccoli and Mr Saltzman were not going to send a large unit to New Orleans just to shoot four minutes' screen time." ""What else is in New Orleans, Tom?"" ""The canals, the levees."" ""Ah, that sounds good." "Yeah, we could do a chase."" "And that's how the New Orleans sequence built up." "It was a wonderful collaborative way that Bonds were put together." "Guy had ideas, Harry had a million ideas," "Cubby had some ideas." "I'd wandered around the Caribbean, and found absolutely nothing of any interest." "But then on location scouting, driving by, there suddenly was this sign by the side of the road, in huge letters, and it said," ""'Trespassers will be eaten."" "And everybody stopped and it was this crocodile farm." "The name of the fellow who ran the crocodile farm was Ross Kananga." "He was an absolutely marvellous man." "A complete lunatic." "And I named the villain after him." "With the story coming together, producers need one final element" " James Bond." "I did say to Sean," ""It's got crocodiles, it's got a boat chase, it's got..."" "And I was trying to kind of just see if I could tweak his interest." "He said to me, "There's only two things I've ever wanted to own in my life:" "A golf course and my own bank."" ""I have the golf course and I'm well on the way to the bank." "I'm not coming back."" "I'd met Cubby and Harry because we used to gamble and went to the Curzon House Club." "And so I would sit across the table with these two big spenders." "And eventually we became friends." "And then one day Harry called me and he said," ""Cubby and I would like you to do the next one."" "They came up with Roger Moore." "It seemed like a good idea." "He was attractive, he was debonair." "Sean's personality comes through very strongly in all the Bonds he made." "My personality's entirely different." "So I read a couple of books and in one of them it said that Bond had returned from a mission somewhere." "He had killed, but he didn't like killing." "Sean could sit at a table with a beautiful girl and you had the option as a writer of either having him lean over and kiss her or stick a knife in her." "Roger could kiss the girl but if he stuck the knife in her, he would look nasty." "So that was the way I played it - someone who really didn't like doing it." "You don't understand, sir." "They'll kill me if I do." "And I'll kill you if you don't." "You got the feeling of the English gentleman more out of Roger than you got out of Sean." "On the other hand, Roger - and that's why the humour maybe increased in "Live And Let Die" - could play a quip very well." "I'm going to be completely useless to you." "Oh, I'm sure we'll be able to lick you into shape." "Roger knew his way around a sophisticated comedy scene very well." "So you could do things with Roger..." "You wrote for Roger differently." "But for the new 007 comparisons are bound to be made." "He was filling some pretty big shoes." "The thing that worried me was how could I say "My name is Bond." "James Bond"" "without saying "My name is Bond." "James Bond"." "That was one thing I had a couple of nightmares about." "I remember him saying about the logo, that was still Sean Connery's image," ""When are we gonna change the logos?"" "We tried in various ways not to imitate Sean where we didn't have to." "Guy said, "I think we should avoid any direct comparisons by you not saying the things that Sean said."" "A martini." "Shaken not stirred." "Bourbon." "No ice, please." "If it isn't enough that Roger Moore has to worry about the shadow of Sean Connery, he also has to avoid imitating another '60s icon " "Simon Templar." "The first issue was that they were making sure that he never raised his eyebrow as he had done in "The Saint"" "cos that was like a famous mannerism of his." "We've all done the Bond pictures, we all know each other." "For a newcomer to come in, it's a very daunting experience." "Guy Hamilton, I think, was more worried about me taking over Bond than I was." "And Roger took it very well indeed." "My name's Bond." "James Bond." "He made it his, cos he is a sophisticated man, so he made it his James Bond." "Absolutely." "There's no sense in going off half-cocked." "Even before much of the cast is signed, filmmakers begin to work on one of the most ambitious action sequences ever produced." "Until we almost started shooting, it just said," ""Scene 156" " The most terrific boat chase you've ever seen", cos I never got around to writing it until Harry and David Picker and other people said," ""Where's this terrific boat chase?"" "When we got there, there was a slight problem because all the bayous were heavily overgrown with reeds and you couldn't really see them." "We sent up a helicopter and we started flying around." "We got to the beautiful houses in the boat chase where there's a wedding on a little point, and the boats go across the point." "And we both said, "Oh, this is great."" "We landed in this backyard, as you call them in America, and a lady came out." "They decided that the point on which we live was just right for a boat to leap across." "And the first we realised was when a helicopter landed on our front lawn to the great delight of the children." "She said, "Boys, boys, boys!"" "We could see children in the background." "She said, "May I help you?"" "So I said, "Yeah." "We're scouting for James Bond."" "The director came and asked if we would mind if they used our property." "We were thrilled to death." "It sounded like the most exciting thing that's happened on the bayou in a long time." "I'd never seen Southern hospitality." "These people were amazing." "Finding the location for the amazing boat stunts is only half the challenge." "They'd spoken to some people called the Stingers." "I think they were in the Everglades somewhere." "One of those places." "And these boats went up a 45 degree ramp and kind of jumped about 4ft, something like that." "But we wanted to do a jump of at least about 80-85ft." "We had a number of problems in getting boats to go as far as we had to go." "Stunt man Jerry Comeaux is determined to make the boat jumps work." "We found that Jerry, when he actually hit the ramp, he'd got to put the motor in tilt, just at that moment when it hit." "On October 16, 1972, Guy Hamilton calls action and stunt man Jerry Comeaux races his Glastron speedboat at 75mph toward the specially built ramp." "We did hold the world record for boat jumps, and I think that particular day, Jerry had jumped 115ft." "Then the whole thing, one take, and that's it." "All the hard work had been done in preproduction." "On the second jump, which is a slower boat, and it's one of the baddie boats, we came over the cars and we landed in the water, but we had difficulty because they had the boat that Bond was in going on, which created a wake." "And that wake - my boat landed on it - carried it off into another direction and we turned over and ended up in the weeds." "Stunt men are not the only ones who need expert boating skills." "We did have one or two accidents during the preparation." "The problem with jet-boats is that if your engine should cut for some unknown reason, you can't steer the boat." "We came around a bend, and the boat was sort of tilted at an angle, and obviously the gas tank wasn't full, and so the engine cut out." "I got hit - bang - and I flew into the back of the boat." "And I came out of that with what I thought was losing my teeth and with a leg that wouldn't move." "This was the day before we started shooting, when we were rehearsing." "Meanwhile, the producers set the rest of the cast, including the challenging part of Bond's leading lady, Solitaire." "I originally wanted Diana Ross." "I thought it would be, in a very positive way, barrier-breaking." "The producers decide to stick with lan Fleming's original conception of the character as a white woman, and start scouting for an actress who can capture the sensuality of a Bond woman and the virginal innocence of the character." "I was doing a series called "The Onedin Line", and my agent, John Redway, called me and said they wanted to meet me for the Bond film." "I remember when I came in, Harry said, "Take off your coat."" ""Take off your hat", he sort of barked." "And I took off this fur hat and of course down came all my hair tumbling down." "And that was it." "He said," ""We want you to play the lead in the James Bond film." I went, "What?"" "I said, "Well, I'm doing 'The Onedin Line'."" "And he said, "Never mind." "I want you to come and meet my partner."" "I was on the street doing "Across 110th Street"." "And David Picker" " I believe he was then vice president of United Artists - came up to me in the street and said," ""What are you doing directly after you do the film?"" "So I said, "Probably going home."" "He said, "I wouldn't count on it." "Get ready to go to England for 'Live And Let Die'."" "So I'm sitting there, and Harry Saltzman says..." "He looks at me, we exchange some conversation..." "All I can remember is maybe a couple of minutes went by, and then he said," ""Madam, how soon can you get on a plane to go to New Orleans?"" "I said, as an actor always says, "Any time." You never refuse." "He says, "Well, we'll have you in a plane in about two hours."" "I got a call to go to a hotel." "I think it was the Algonquin in New York City." "I'm not quite sure." "And who do I meet but Guy Hamilton?" "And he said to me, "What kind of weapon would you like to have?"" "I knew right then and there I had it." "And I said, "You've used so many guns and so many knives, give me something unusual like a hook."" "For many black actors, the film proves to be a great showcase, though they are mainly cast as villains." "It's a Bond movie, so you know Bond is going to win." "If the villain is black, you know he's going to lose because the villain is going to lose." "So along the way I thought maybe we can have some other people to make fun of." "Toby, I got me a regular Ben Hur down here." "That kind of dialogue you can't miss." "What are you?" "Some kind of doomsday machine, boy?" "The best dialogue writer I've ever seen." "Clifton James, who came from New York and doesn't have a Southern accent, came down, and he had a wonderful gut, you know." "I wore padding." "I wore an umpire's suit because they're all very proud of their stomachs." "With the cast in place, shooting begins in earnest along the Louisiana bayous." "Quiet everywhere, please." "The first sequence that I watched was the stunt sequence where the two boats came across the bayous and went right through the wedding party and then down the other side." "One boat and one boat only comes up the lawn, there is another one that goes round there." "It doesn't really matter which one you look at, including both." "This end is very safe." "We have tested it." "It is sometimes interesting and I think you might enjoy that, what happens down that end." "The first stunt man got into the boat and he's zooming around, and suddenly there's the most enormous crash." "The guy crashed into this tree." "They called in the paramedics." "I'm OK." "I'm OK." "Set me down." "So now we're going to try and do the stunt again." "And..." "Action!" "Up comes the boat, straight over, right through the wedding, and I say, "I bet it's going to hit that tree."" "It hit it fair and square." "Tore another big hole in the side." "In all the practice runs, the boat's always gone off to the left." "I hit that tree just dead centre." "The boat went absolutely straight across that lawn, which it never has done before." "Everybody's now worried and Guy said, "I don't think we should do any more."" ""Not today." "We'll try tomorrow."" "But the filming cannot continue with the wedding scene." "The bayou's flooded." "Everything's underwater." "All the chairs are floating." "For the director and the producer setbacks seem to be a daily occurrence." "There was a cold wind blowing and I could feel this ache." "And I went into my Winnebago and I lay down and my knees came up to my chin." "And Derek Cracknell came in and said," ""Rog, when..." "Oh, God!" "I'd better call a doctor."" "With the film's star in the hospital with kidney stones and accidents mounting, members of the crew worry that the film is under some kind of voodoo curse." "As the production crew copes with setbacks, some of the cast explore the power of the tarot." "I went to Bourbon Street where they had tarot card readers, and I took off all my rings, anything that would give any clues away." "And the tarot card reader looked me in the eyes and in the cards and said I'd be married three times." "Since I'd only just got married for the first time, this was a little bit of a shock!" "I have to admit that it did affect some of my decisions later on in life." "On November 12, 1972, the production crew flies from New Orleans to the exotic north shore of Jamaica with over two tons of film equipment." "It was very exotic." "Absolutely amazing." "I've never seen anywhere so beautiful as this hotel called the Sans Souci." "It was wonderful." "I spent every morning swimming in that pool, meeting Roger every morning before we went to work." "I must say, it's fantastic being in Jamaica in the winter." "And in the sun when it's so cold and foggy in London." "And to be playing a part in a James Bond film which demands all that action..." "It's something I'm not used to." "And the service!" "We had housekeepers, cooks and maids, who would knock on your door and say," ""Madam, what would you like to have for breakfast this morning?"" "I just remember the music and the warmth and the beautiful beaches." "It was just so exotic and glorious." "But the voodoo curse from Louisiana seems to follow the film crew to Jamaica." "There was this voodoo witch doctor who would give me a reading." "They were going to film it." "I don't know what happened to that film." "Mr Moore, I'm about to start what is known as a psychic reading for you." " Is that OK, sir?" " That's fine with me." "I hope it is afterwards." "Tarot cards were being turned over, and said that I was going to have a son." "You are going to have a son, sir." "There is going to be a son in your life." "Well, apparently, he was conceived there." "I don't know whether the witch doctor had anything to do with it." "I think you were born to be what is termed a humanitarian." "You will become one of our great buddhas." "Finally I found something in life that's a little more important than thinking of yourself." "Not a little more important, a lot more important." "On November 30, 1972, filmmakers begin shooting one of the movie's signature sequences." "We bought a London bus very, very cheap." "We actually took a bus driver who was one of the principal instructors at London Passenger Transport." "They said, "What we actually want you to do is to skid a bus round on a 30ft road."" "You feel the first time you do it that it's going to tip over, but they don't tip over." "I was involved in some of the stunts, which, in retrospect, was kind of foolish." "I was in that bus when it spun around, and it could have been anyone." "She was on the bus every time I skidded it." "When I was in the back of that bus, I just was dying." "Then we had all these motorcycles come in, cars zooming into the sugar cane and zooming into the sea." "We had to put a ramp on the kind of parapet into the sea, and I remember we had to move all this coral." "Of course, it went slightly awry and the poor fellow landed in the coral we hadn't cleared, cos he hadn't hit the right spot." "We only did it once, so it wasn't a question of redoing it." "The stunt man is not badly hurt, but the sequence is hardly over yet." "To finish the sequence..." ""What can we do with that?" "I know, knock the top off, cos it's a low bridge."" "I got a bit sceptical." "I've never seen a bus go under a bridge and take the roof completely off." "It generally stops halfway." "I said, "Have they done this before?" And they said no." "When it was all set up, we went about 400 yards up the road." "They didn't know if it would work..." "They told me roughly what speed it would take - about 40mph." "And I remember my heart was pumping." "They just said "Action!" And away we went." "And then of course I felt very proud to have been in that bus." "Filming continues off the roads and into the swamps." "Ross Kananga, the name of the man in real life who owned this crocodile farm, had an interesting story." "Ross Kananga, from what I understand, was a Seminole Indian." "His father put on an alligator show, croc show, and Ross as a kid used to put his head in the mouth of the alligator and one day..." "And he was in there for 20 minutes before the croc relaxed and let him out." "He had seen his father be eaten alive." "Ross knew which one." "He said, "That one got my dad."" "And decided to take over the family business." "They had 1,500 of these creatures." "Ross Kananga, at one time, had a lion, a pet lion that used to patrol the place." "And it got to the lion." "These things are really lethal, alligators and crocodiles." "And then they stuck me on this island." "A little tiny island." "This was a major production number because all the crocs had to be taken out." "They had fake crocodiles there." "They were made of foam rubber and they looked real." "And I was stuck on there while Tee Hee throws out bits of chicken to attract the alligators." "They were shooting the sequence and this mechanical arm was hard to work." "I'm messing with this hook, trying to get it to work, and I dropped a couple of pieces on the side there." "I thought it was a rather smart idea when we were doing wardrobe before we started the film," "I said, "Why don't I have crocodile shoes?"" " Do you think this is a good idea?" " It's a beautiful idea." "All of a sudden, one of the fake crocodiles starts moving toward Roger and Julius." "Nasty beady eyes going like this." "And this thing is coming straight for Roger." "Gunshots went off, Ross Kananga threw himself in..." "Once they see some white flesh and they're swimming, they can leap 20 or 30ft." "Everyone went crazy." "What a mistake!" "I had the skin of one of their cousins." "They were out to get me." "After a few last-minute shots, the first unit departs for London on December 19th and resumes shooting at Pinewood Studios where more creatures are required." "I think the gentleman who was tied up to the post didn't like snakes." "And the snake's there and he was looking at the snake, and they said, "Right." "OK, cut." "OK, you can relax now", and he had fainted." "I had just been told this story, and I come in to do the scene with this snake." "The man who was holding the snake was a dancer and he wasn't happy about holding a real snake either." "But by the third day he was feeling more comfortable and between takes he put the snake in the other hand." "The snake turned around and bit him." "Well, this guy screamed, dropped the snake... and went running out." "Everyone went after him to make sure he was OK, cos he'd been bitten by a snake, and the snake was coming straight for me." "And I'm tied up at the stake!" "Nobody cares about me, but this snake's coming right for me." "I was terrified." "And at the last second the snake handler picked up the snake, when it was only inches from my feet, and I really thought this was it." "I had a very special rapport with Geoffrey Holder." "Really nice guy." "Big, enormous, with a quite understandable fear of snakes." "Geoffrey had to fall backwards into the snakes." "And Guy knew that he wasn't going to do this." "And I saw the real coffin with the real snakes." "I've never seen so many snakes!" "It was scary." "But we were very fortunate Princess Alexandra came to the set that day." "They knew that Geoffrey, being such a gentleman and such a professional, would not refuse to do that scene if the royal family were watching." "And so when they said, "Turn over." "Action", he went backwards." "He didn't stay there long, but he went backwards." "While the first unit finishes work at Pinewood Studios and on location in New York, one last second-unit stunt has to be filmed in Jamaica." "Kananga was the only man who would try the stunt." "He did something you couldn't have paid me a million dollars to do." "It had taken writer Tom Mankiewicz only moments to type the words, but it takes Ross Kananga weeks of preparation to create the stunt." "We got the crocodiles tied down by their little legs." "Ross Kananga dons Roger Moore's outfit for the scene, including the slick-heeled dress shoes." "We now present all five of Ross Kananga's attempts at the death-defying stunt." "As he's about to jump, the crocodiles all do this because they're saying, "Here comes that guy again."" "They'd seen the act twice and so they're waiting for him." "On the afternoon of December 31, Ross Kananga defies death for a fifth time." "On July 5, 1973," ""Live And Let Die" premieres at London's Leicester Square Odeon." "When record-breaking box office receipts come in, it proves that no voodoo curse can stand up to James Bond's magic." "In the end, filmmakers pull off the biggest feat of all - they give the world a new 007." "I deliver perfection..." "and don't brag about it!" ":" "D" "I deliver perfection..." "and don't brag about it!" ":" "D" "...was so ably pointed out by the Secretary-General in his opening remarks." "But - and I must emphasise this point - no formula can, or will, ever cover each case." "For instance when three or more applicants have been recognised, which is in direct contradiction to..." "Whose funeral is it?" "Yours." "One more time again." "Not married, by any chance, are you?" "Good morning, 007." "Good... good morning." "Insomnia, sir?" "Instructions." "You haven't much time." "I'll explain as you pack." "Pack, sir?" "Three agents have been killed in the last 24 hours." "Dawes in New York, Hamilton in New Orleans and Baines in the Caribbean." "Baines." "I rather liked Baines." "We shared the same boot maker." "Coffee, sir?" "I take it these killings are connected?" "That's precisely what you're going to find out." "Baines was working on a small Caribbean island called San Monique." "Dawes was in New York, keeping an eye on its prime minister, one Dr Kananga." "Hamilton was on loan to the Americans in New Orleans." "Is that all it does?" "By the way, congratulations." "The Italians were most impressed by the way you handled the Rome affair." "Thank you, sir." "Sugar?" "Thanks." "The authorities were more than helpful." "There's one small complaint." "They seem to be missing one of their agents." "A Miss..." "Caruso." "You wouldn't happen to know where she is?" "Miss Moneypenny." " Morning, Moneypenny." " Good morning, sir." " It's only the hour that's indecent." " Really?" "I've got your ticket to New York." "Q has repaired your wristwatch." " And some background on San Monique." " Thank you, Moneypenny." "I'm sure the overburdened British taxpayer will be fascinated to know will how the Special Ordnance Section disburses its funds." "In future, Commander, may I suggest a perfectly adequate watchmaker just down the street." "Good God!" "Pulling out this button turns the watch into a hyper-intensified magnetic field, powerful enough to deflect the path of a bullet" " at long range - or so Q claims." " I feel tempted to test that theory now." "If you don't mind, Commander, my spoon." "Sorry, sir." "Thank you." "Dr Kananga is at present in New York." "The CIA have been informed." "They are helping with surveillance." "Your flight arrives at 11.30am." "Now, where did I leave my coat?" "Allow me." "Thank you." "Come along, Miss Moneypenny." " Morning, Bond." " Sir." "Miss Moneypenny." "Thank you." "Goodbye, James." "Or should I say... "ciao, bello"?" "Such a delicate touch." "Sheer magnetism, darling." "A man comes." "He travels quickly." "He has purpose." "He comes over water." "He travels with others." "He will oppose." "He brings violence and destruction." "Hello." " Mr Leiter for you, sir." " Thank you." "Hello, Felix." "How are you?" "Traffic permitting, I should be with you in half an hour." "Then you can buy me the best lunch in New York." "Hi, James." "Your friend Kananga has just left the UN." "He's probably headed back to his embassy." "No, don't worry." "The place is eyeballed, wired for sound - the works." "Right." "I'll see you in a half-hour." "Easy, Charlie." "Let's get there in one piece." "Charlie?" "Right, stand by." "Here comes Kananga's limousine." "Out he gets with the usual goon squad and the girl." "Time: 11.46." "What is that?" "!" "Felix?" "You know I hate to trouble you, but I've run into a little bother." "You what?" "!" "Get me a make on a white pimpmobile." "3-4-7." "Nelson David George." "It would seem, Dr Kananga, that the conference has not lived up to your expectations." "We can only hope that this is a temporary setback." "However, I do have some observations to make." "Take a letter, please." "To Secretary-General, Pan-lsland Unity Conference." "Sir..." "I wish to point out... that... too many of our island neighbours have once again let themselves be..." "bullied by United States industry." "The story is an old one, the record a clear one." "Since my historic statement of principles was delivered and acted upon some six months ago, our economic outlook has improved dramatically." "By exercising our policy of friendship to all with favouritism towards none, new respect for the entire area has been injected." "And even though some of my..." "James?" "That car is registered to a shop at 33 East 65th Street." "That's only a block away from here." "Right." "Take your time, buddy." "Kananga's knitting a flag in there." "It might be the easiest thing to do." "Something... in heads?" "Just browsing, thank you." "Five dollars." "Do you think you could giftwrap it for me, please?" "Lengthwise, if you don't mind." "Thank you." "... remains my first concern." "Thus San Monique's obligations to her island neighbours would seem clear." "Those who fawn and crawl in the face of intimidation must perforce look up to those who stand, proudly, wrapped in a justifiable self-confidence." "The time has come, painful as it may be, to gaze out among our sister nations in the area and see if any stands..." "He's tailing." "I got him in my sights." " You know where you're goin', man?" " Uptown, I believe." "Uptown?" "We heading' into Harlem, man." "Just keep on the tail of that jukebox and there's an extra $20 for you." "Man, for 20 bucks, I'd take you to a Ku Klux Klan cookout." "125th." "You got a honky on your tail." "He's heading east." "Can't miss him." "It's like following a cue ball." "That's the car." "They must have gone inside." "Pull up where you can." "Sure hope you make friends easy." "Right on, brother." "He's headin' on in!" "Good afternoon." " Bourbon and water, please." " The first booth will do." "Tell him neat, would you?" " No ice." " That's extra, man." "I'd like something on the side as well." "Information." "Three men and a girl came in..." "Relax, baby." "Mr Big's gonna take care of you in a minute." "Black queen on the red king, Miss...?" "Solitaire." "My name's Bond." "James Bond." "I know who you are, what you are, and why you've come." "You've made a mistake." "You will not succeed." "Rather a sweeping statement, considering we've never met." "The cards have followed you for me." "You get ripped off in Detroit, you yell out to me!" "D'you hear?" "Is he armed?" "You can't be too careful in New York City." "Funny how the least little thing amuses him." "Fascinating." "That's you, quite obviously." "An amazing resemblance." "Am I in there as well?" "Pick a card." "Turn it over." "You have found yourself." "I'm telling you, go out to LA and clean it up or I'm coming out there and clean "you" up." "And I mean that!" "Is this the stupid mother that tailed you uptown?" "There seems to be some mistake." "My name..." "Names is for tombstones, baby." "Y'all take this honky out and waste him - now!" " "Waste him"?" "Is that a good thing?" " The reading is over." "Nothing about my future?" "Us?" "Now, promise you'll stay right there." "I shan't be long." "Thank you." "Keep your hands up, honky." "What's he think this is?" "Blow his friggin' head off." "Drop it!" "Now." "Harold Strutter, CIA." "Where were you when I didn't need you?" "It got obvious you weren't coming out front." "Not even with that clever disguise you were wearing." "A white face in Harlem." "Good thinking, Bond." "Let's get outta here." "I'm surprised they didn't spot you." "There's a remarkable girl back there with a deck of cards." "I saw those cards on the way up." "Spades, James." "Every one." "You were nailed the minute you left 74." "Only one man can pull together that much black muscle in this town." "Calls himself Mr Big." "You name the business." "They say he has a black concession." "What would a foreign prime minister like Kananga want with an American gangster?" "Question is, what would Mr Big want with a two-bit island diplomat?" "Mr Big?" "Where the hell does "he" fit into this mess?" "A genuine Felix lighter." "Illuminating." "Now listen, James," "Kananga's got a private plane and he's leaving for San Monique within the hour." " Get me on the next available flight." " I already did." "I knew you wouldn't pass up a chance to get away from where the "real" action is." "The legendary Baron Samedi, folks." "That's Saturday, for those who speak French." "Voodoo god of cemeteries and chief of the legion of the dead." "The man who cannot die." "But, for our purposes, just a performer in a musical extravaganza we've cooked up for you wonderful people." "Good evening." "The name's Bond." "I have a reservation." "Mr Bond." "Of course." "Mrs Bond's been expecting you." " Mrs Bond?" " She arrived earlier this afternoon." "Said she preferred something a little more... private." "Bungalow 12." "An incurable romantic" " Mrs Bond." "Room service, please." "Room service?" "This is Mr Bond." "Bungalow 12." "I'd like a bottle of Bollinger, please." "Slightly chilled." "Two glasses." "Thank you." "Anybody home?" "Your champagne, sir." " What was that?" " Your champagne." "Put it on the table, thanks." " Shall I open it?" " What?" "Shall I open it?" "Oh, no." "I can manage." "Thank you." " Here you are." " Thank you." "Mrs Bond, I presume?" "I'm Rosie Carver." "I guess I have a little explaining to do." "Yes." "Either you or dear Uncle Felix." "Custom 38, Smith  Wesson." "Corrugated three-inch stock, no serial number, standard CIA issue." "The question is:" "Why point it at me?" "The man who delivered your champagne is not a hotel waiter." "I was just trying to be careful." "As for Felix Leiter, you're right." "I've worked for CIA down here for some time now." "He cabled me you were coming and asked if I would help out if I could." "Perhaps you'd better start by getting your head together." " There's a mirror in the bathroom." " Yes." "You're only my second mission, you know." "My first was Baines." "The agent who was killed." "It's a relief to know I'm next in line for the same kind of aid." " There's a..." " A snake!" "I should have told you." "You should never go in there without a mongoose." "I should have never gotten into any of this!" "I'm going to be completely useless to you." "I'm sure we'll be able to lick you into shape." "It's... getting late, Mrs Bond." "Tomorrow will be a very busy day." "You see, Kananga is protecting something down here." "Something which Baines obviously discovered." "You're going to show me the spot where Baines' body was found." "That, I'm afraid, only leaves us tonight to... catch up on old times." "Felix told me there'd be moments like this." "What did good old Felix suggest?" "If all else failed, cyanide pills." "I settled for two bedrooms." "Good night, Mr Bond." "Mrs Bond." "It's just a hat, darling, belonging to a small-headed man who lost a fight with a chicken." "It's a warning." "Get it outta here!" "Oh, please!" "Please don't leave me alone tonight." "James, please promise me!" "All right, darling, if you insist..." "I promise." "Thank you." "Rosie!" "Breakfast's up!" "Rosie!" " Are you ready yet?" " What?" "I have to see about organising a car." "I'll see you in the lobby." "Over here, sir!" "Guarantee big fish." "Catch big fish, sir!" "Hey, baby!" "Over here!" "Bring your man over here!" "Just $20!" "Have a date!" "You got warm lady?" "We got cold beer over here, man." "You wanna catch a big fish, sir?" "It's only £2 over here." "Good morning." "Come on, Rosie." "This one seems eager enough." "Excuse me!" "Where can I change?" "Me... clothes off... where?" "Stop right there." "Turn around slowly." "Keep your hands up!" "As I was saying, Quarrel, a lousy agent." "But the compensations speak for themselves." "Rosie Carver, meet the man who shares my hairbrush." "Quarrel Junior." "I'm really sorry." "I could have shot you." "You might have even killed me if you'd taken off the safety catch." "Never mind, darling." "You just let us know when we get to the spot where Baines was killed." "It's up in the hills, just after we clear the next cove." "Hey, Quarrel!" "Who the hell lives up there?" "That's the house of the Kananga woman." "She's supposed to have the power of the obeah." "No one on the island dare go up there except him." "He comes again." "There will be violence." "He approaches even now." "By land or water?" "Water." "He has arrived." "Good." "Rosie's been more efficient than I anticipated." "I know where we could rustle up a car." "Beautiful, brave, and now resourceful." "Rosie, you seem to be staging a remarkable comeback." "Tell me about the future." "Is it death?" "I said, is it death?" "It is death." "They're coming." "Rosie knows what to do." "Now, I want no bodies this time." "No trace." "It's down there." "But..." "I thought you said Baines was killed up in the hills, darling." "Up in the hills, down there." "Why don't we have a bite of lunch and discuss it?" "There's an excellent pâté in the hamper." "I'm in no hurry." "Are you?" "No." "James!" "You don't know what finding you has meant to me." "I can imagine." "And you've no idea what finding this has meant to me." "You do know what the Queen of Cups means in an upside-down position?" "A deceitful, perverse woman." "A liar, a cheat." "And I'd like some answers now." "Please..." "You don't understand, sir." "They'll kill me if I do." "And I'll kill you if you don't." "But you couldn't." "You wouldn't." "Not after what we've just done." "I certainly wouldn't have killed you before." "It used to be a convincing act, Rosie." "It's wearing a little thin now." "It's not an act." "It's..." "Make your choice." "Rosie!" "You will explain what went wrong." "I see the intervention of a woman." "The girl was about to confess." "We had to kill her." "The trap was set." "Tee Hee was waiting." "And you saw death." "It must have been the girl's death." "If you do not ask specific questions," "I cannot be responsible for your misinterpretation of the answers." "These growing signs of impertinence begin to disturb me, Solitaire." "As they did with your mother before you." "She had the power and lost it." "Became useless to me." "You will not make the same mistake," "Solitaire." "Where is Bond now?" "I cannot see when you are this way with me." "Things become unclear." "Let us hope these momentary lapses do not become a habit." "Your power exists to serve me." "And it is mine to control." "If and when the time comes I decide you are to lose it, I myself will take it away." "Solitaire, go to sleep." "You have made me angry with you, and I have no wish to be." "Tee Hee..." "Put down those cards!" "It is a blasphemy!" "They tell nothing to those who cannot see." "But they do." "That's a... a bit of luck." "Good luck, for both of us." "The cards say we will be lovers." "You are mistaken." "It's impossible." "Forbidden for me." "Now you must go." "But you do believe..." "I mean really "believe" in the cards?" "They have never lied to me." "Then they won't now." "Pick one." "You knew the answer before it was given." "Strangely enough, somehow... so did I." "So it's finally happened." "Just as it did to my mother..." "and her mother before her." "Of course it did." "You're visual proof of that, aren't you?" "Come on, cheer up, darling." "There has to be a first time for everyone." "Now tell me, where's Kananga?" "I cannot see." " Oh, yes, the cards." "I'll get them." " No!" "There's no need to be frightened." "You'll soon be rid of him, I promise." "I promise." "I just need a little bit of information, that's all." "The power..." "I've lost it." "The High Priestess is wife to the Prince no longer of this world." "The spiritual bridge to the secret church." "It was my fate." "By compelling me to earthly love, the cards themselves have taken away my powers." "Darling, I've... a small confession to make." "Now, try not to be too upset." "The deck was slightly stacked in my favour." "It makes no difference." "The physical violation cannot be undone." "When he finds out I've lost my power... he'll kill me." "Oh, now, come on." "He'll have to find you first." "Lovers' lesson number one:" "We have no secrets." "For example, I have a boat waiting." "You can be on it." "All I have to know before we leave is..." "what goes on back there in voodoo land." "Darling, three men and a girl have been killed in the last four days." "Not counting the times they've tried to stop me from discovering what Kananga's protecting." "Now, do you want to be on that boat or not?" "I simply read the cards for him." "I have never been there, and he's never taken me there." "I've never dared to go." "But I've looked in the cards." "I've seen great riches there." "They'll kill you." "Us, darling." "They will kill "us"." "Lovers' lesson number two:" "Togetherness." "Till death do us part, or thereabouts." "Is there time before we leave for lesson number three?" "Absolutely." "There's no sense in going off half-cocked." " This way." " How can you be so sure?" "These scarecrows are to scare "people" away." "You're not scared, are you?" "Lesson number four:" "Follow the scarecrows." " Good morning, boss." " Morning." "It's sure gonna be a "beautiful" day." "Yes, sir, a "beautiful" day!" "They're heading for the hill." "They're here." "If he finds it, kill him." "Quick!" "We've lost him." "He has the girl." "They're somewhere under the nets." "At any cost - any" " Bond must die." "Unit 2-5." "We have picked them up." "Base to 2-5." "Arrest Bond." "But I repeat, the girl is not to be touched." "Message received and understood." "Over and out." "Base to all units." "I repeat, the girl is not to be touched." "Get out of the way!" "Sweet mother of pearl!" "All change!" "End of the line!" "Get down below, quickly!" "Here, I'll do that." "You get her started." "It appears... a bus." "James!" "He'll be looking for me now." "I know he'll never stop." "Come on, darling." "It's all over." "Voodoo land was just poppy fields." "A simple matter of heroin smuggling." "I'll have a word with a man named Felix, turn the case over to him, and you and I will be off." "By the way, where would you like to go?" "Anywhere where we can find one of these." "How quickly can we make it to New Orleans?" "Santa Mina, four hours away..." "You could catch a flight and be there in the morning." "Get in touch with Felix." "Tell him to meet me there tomorrow." "Royal Orleans Hotel." "Tampa is closer." "Hamilton was killed in New Orleans, so there has to be a connection." "And this is a valuable piece of merchandise we're carrying." "Which, with any luck, they'll want back." "Royal Orleans Hotel, please." "Are you sure this is the way to New Orleans?" "I don't know, but this sure beats the hell out of Harlem, don't it?" "Well, hello, Jim!" "What's happenin', baby?" "Just ease back now, Jim." "Relax!" "Mr Big wants to see you." "You made a mistake back on that island, Bond." "You took something that didn't belong to you, from a friend of Mr Big's." "That type of mistake is tough to bounce back from." " But I've only just arrived." " Today is your lucky day, Jim!" "You're going skydiving!" "There's a helluva view of the lake from 10,000 feet." "My only regret is I won't be there to see it." "Let's go!" " Good morning." "You're..." " Mrs Bell." "You're not my instructor." "Where's Mr Bleeker?" "Indisposed." "I'll be giving the lesson." "What's on for today?" "Let's just wing it, shall we, Mrs Bell?" "You're over-revving." " Leroy, slow down, for Pete's sake!" " Do what the man say!" "I can't..." "I can't find the brake!" "Close those doors!" "Holy shit!" "OK, Don." "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." "Right." "Talk to you later." "I've got to go and give a lesson." "Same time tomorrow, Mrs Bell?" "Yes, Mr Bleeker." "Yes, sir." "I know you just can't glue the wings back on." "Now, Mr Bleeker, I'm sure there's no reason for name-calling." "That's fine." "Don't forget the double vents." "I appreciate she's one of your best pupils." "That's a little frantic." "I'll keep the other three." "Any such suggestion should be put in writing to Washington." " How is Mrs Bell?" " Intensive care, but she'll pull through." "Yes, sir." "No one's questioning your patriotism." "I'm sure you're a veteran, sir." "Felix, find out if there's a Fillet Of Soul restaurant in town." "We're way ahead of you." "It's on Docker Street." "Strutter's watching it now." "Hell of a send-off." "This way." " Where's Strutter?" " He's gotta be inside somewhere." "Two, gentlemen?" "I got a nice booth over here, just against the wall." "Do you think you could find something a little closer to the stage?" " What's wrong with a booth?" " I once had a nasty turn in a booth." " Bourbon." "No ice, please." " Two Sazeracs." "Where's your sense of adventure?" "This is New Orleans." "Relax!" " One of you Felix Leiter?" " Yeah, right here." " Call for you." "A guy called Strutter." " Thanks." "For a minute, I thought Harry was laying down on a job." "What happened to my..." " What happened to my friend?" " What happened?" "Listen." "Thanks for droppin' in, baby." "Yeah, you're one tough pig to nail down." "You've been picking at me like some kind of maggot." "First, you go up to Harlem and kill one of the brothers." "And that disturbed me." "And then you go and steal this valuable young lady from my good friend, Dr Kananga." "Now, old Kananga, he believes in all that card crap." "I mean, he's mad." "Well, possession being nine points of the law," "I would say Kananga is your problem now." "Thank you." "In fact, if I were you, I'd... watch my step from now on." "Yeah, well, you just let me handle our business with the man." "I got my own plans for you, baby." "But first there's one little question that he wants answers for." "Then you'd better ship me back to the island and let him ask in person." "I'm not in the habit of giving answers to lackeys." "You damn lucky you got an ear left to hear the question with." "Which is... did you mess with that?" "That's between Solitaire and myself..." "and Kananga." "I'll tell him when I see him." "You won't see sunlight unless you answer!" "I'd no idea you were so frightened of him." "Did you touch her?" "!" "When I see Kananga." "Right." "Quite revealing." "Kananga:" "Poppy grower in thousands of acres of well-camouflaged fields, protected by the voodoo threat of Baron Samedi." "Then there's Mr Big, distributor and wholesaler through a chain of Fillet Of Soul restaurants." "Wholesale?" ""Sell" heroin, for money?" "!" "My apologies." "I'm sure you simply give it away." "Excellent, Mr Bond." "That's precisely what I intend to do." "Two tons of it, to be exact." "When entering into a fiercely competitive field, one finds it advisable to give away free samples." "Man or woman, black or white." "I don't discriminate." "Two tons of heroin with a street value well over a billion dollars nationally distributed free?" "That should make a certain group of families rather angry, wouldn't you say?" "Angry?" "Why, my dear Mr Bond, it'll positively drive them out of their minds." " And subsequently out of the business." " Quite ingenious." "A sort of junkies' welfare system." "Merely until the number of addicts in the country has doubled, shall we say?" "Then I will market that acreage you blundered into the other day." "That heroin will be very expensive indeed, leaving myself and the phone company the only two going monopolies in this nation for years to come." "And here I thought it was Solitaire who did the fortune-telling." "Let's hope for both your sakes she still can." "The question still stands, Mr Bond." "Asked by the gentleman concerned." "Did you touch her?" "Well, it's not the sort of question..." "a gentleman answers." "Well, having set the example, I don't expect Miss Solitaire to be any less the lady." "By the way, that's a particularly handsome watch you're wearing, Mr Bond." " May I see it, please?" " You'll forgive me if I don't get up." "Butterhook!" "Tee Hee." "On the first wrong answer from Miss Solitaire, you will snip the little finger of Mr Bond's right hand." "Starting with the second wrong answer, you will proceed to the more... vital areas." "Solitaire, my dear," "I want you to listen to me very carefully." "On the back of Mr Bond's watch the registration number: 3-2-6" "6." "Do I speak the truth?" "You speak the truth." "Well... if nothing else, at least I've laid your fears to rest." "My compliments on a splendid operation." "There is one thing, however, the..." "Whisper." "Take him to the farm." "When do we start back?" "Soon, Solitaire." "Soon." "Solitaire, why?" "I treated you well." "You lacked for nothing." "I don't understand what you..." "Mr Bond's watch, my dear." "I gave you every break possible." "You had a 50-50 chance." "You weren't even close." "I had no choice." "Please believe me..." "The cards!" "When the time came, I myself would have given you love." "You knew that." "You knew that!" "There's only one proper way to deal with this." "And one proper time." "The tonnage order is nearly complete." "We move it out tonight." "And I mean tonight!" "Mr Bond." "How much do you know about crocodiles, Bond?" "I've... always tried to keep them at arm's length myself." "Cute little nippers, ain't they?" "I don't suppose those potential overnight bags are orphans." "Oh, no!" "We have some moms and dads as well." "In fact, quite a few thousand." "This is the part I like best:" "Feeding time." "I suspect, the highlight of the tour." "Some of these babies live to be 200 years old." "Look over there." "That's an alligator." "You can always tell by its round nose." "There's old Albert." "He's a croc." "Got careless with him some time back, and he took my whole arm off." "Well done, Albert!" "They'll eat anything." "Even each other." "Then again, sometime they can go a whole year without eating." "I was rather counting on that." "There are two ways to disable a crocodile, you know." "I... don't suppose you'd care to share that information with me?" "One way is to jam a pencil into the depression hole behind his eyes." "And the other?" "The other's twice as simple." "You just put your hand in his mouth and pull his teeth out." "Fire!" "Evans, get him!" "Adam, in the car!" "Head him off!" "Hector, move, damn it!" "Bond ripped off one of our boats." "He's headed for the Irish Bayou." "The man that gets him, stays alive!" "Now move, you mothers!" "Toby." "I got me a regular Ben Hur down here." "Doin' 95, minimum." " Need any help, JW?" " Hell, no!" "You got a set of wheels that just won't quit, boy!" "If they's yours, that is." "You spin around, boy." "Ten fingers on the fender." "Legs apart." "I'm sure this ain't exactly your debut at this sort of thing." "You picked the wrong parish to haul ass through, boy." "Nobody cuts and runs on Sheriff JW Pepper." "And that's him speaking' that, by the bye!" "What the..." "JW?" "Soon as you nail that offending' vehicle, Miss Pearson just called." "Seems her dog's foaming' all at the mouth." "She's got him locked up in the shed and wondered if you'd like to come over and shoot it for her." "You tell Miss Pearson to take a flyin'..." "That look like a boat stuck in the Sheriff's car there, Eddie?" "Boy, where you been all your life?" "That there's one of them new car-boats." "By the powers invested in me by this parish," "I hereby do commandeer this vehicle and all those persons within." "And that means you, smartass!" "Unit 23 in position." "Ten-four, 23." "Come in, 28." "Hey, JW." "Seems like Deke Rogers done got his boat stole off the river but got a new one in his swimming pool." " Sheriff, get your boys off my frequency!" " Give me that!" "Now you listen to me, trooper boy!" "We got a swamp full of Black Russians driving' boats to beat the band down here!" "Relax, Sheriff." "We've got a roadblock waiting for them at Miller's Bridge." "Unit 26 at Miller's Bridge." "We're just about all set here." "Make that secure there!" "D'you hear?" "OK, fellas." "Here they come!" "All right, out of my way!" "I'm in charge here!" "You two boys, come on!" "I want those two men and their boats apprehended immediately!" "Yes, sir, Captain." "I understand." "But, I don't know where we're gonna find a boat fast enough to catch 'em." "Call my brother-in-law, Billy Bob." "He's got the fastest boat on the whole damn river." "Billy Bob'll sure enough fix their ass!" "Yeah, call Billy Bob." "There's two boats, Billy Bob." "They're movin' like buttered pigs!" "Now, I promised these boys here you'd get 'em." "Don't let me down." "Cool down, JW." "I'm on my way." " Want something, boy?" " Yes." "I'd like to borrow this boat, if I may." "Everybody on the river would like to borrow this boat." "Billy Bob, we've got 'em spotted." "They're headed for Hayley's Landing." "That's my brother-in-law!" "That's Billy Bob!" "He'll get 'em!" "Billy Bob'll get 'em!" "Hot damn!" "If one side of the Pepper family don't get 'em, the other side will!" "Let's go!" "If any man can show just cause why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter..." "Headquarters to all units." "Suspects seen proceeding down by Liberty towards Highway 11." "Proceed with caution." "Would you get that chicken coop off the road?" "!" "Did you ever think of gettin' a driver's licence, boy?" "!" "Are you sure that was your brother-in-law, Sheriff?" " Felix, what are you doing here?" " We'll get to that later." "Kananga's in town." "He's got your girl." "They just took off." "There's the son of a bitch!" "I got him!" "What are you?" "Some kind of doomsday machine, boy?" "Well, we've got a cage strong enough to hold an animal like you here!" " Captain, enlighten the sheriff, please." " Yes, sir." "JW, let me have a word with you." "JW, now this fella's from London, England." "He's an Englishman workin' in cooperation with our boys." " A sort of secret agent." " Secret agent?" "!" "On whose side?" "!" "We busted the Fillet of Soul an hour ago." "We came up with nothing but these." "Kananga's clear." "You should have seen the size of the guy on the boat with him." "Nine feet tall, I swear." "Big top hat, a cockamamie flute in one hand and Solitaire in the other." "The incendiary bombs are set for midnight." "Now, that gives you exactly... 30 minutes." "Watch out for sharks on the way back." "We'll see you for breakfast, Felix." "Good hunting!" "You're going to need these and the shark gun on the way back." "Seems like the party's started." "My regards to Baron Samedi, man - right between the eyes." "Trouble!" "Mr Bond!" "There you are!" "And Miss Solitaire as well." "Hardly unexpected, but most welcome." "Whisper!" "Two more glasses for our guests!" " What shall we drink to, Mr Bond?" " How about an earthquake?" "Welcome home." "Where's our boy?" "He'll be along any time now." "I checked behind a rock and his wet suit is gone." "Keep the change." "It is unfortunate your wet suit was found only minutes before the field was destroyed." "Don't tell me you're not insured?" "The poppy is a very sturdy flower." "You have been a relatively "minor" nuisance, in fact." "But this gun..." "I find it particularly fascinating." "What is it?" "A shark gun, naturally." "With compressed gas pellets." "Ingenious!" "Don't pull the pin out." "The air in here is foul enough already." "Somehow I never thought of you as a poor loser." "I was hoping you would join me to drink to the future." "Miss Solitaire used to know all about the future." "Especially predicting death." "An underground monorail." "Connected to the last refuge of a scoundrel, no doubt." "The heroin leaves here, I take it, carried somewhere by that winch." "Correct again, Mr Bond." "What a quick study you are." "Let me show you exactly how it works." "Where in hell can the man be?" "Relax!" "He must have got tied up somewhere." "These cans hold 25 pounds each." "There are 20 cans to a shipment, packed in watertight metal containers." "It's your show, but isn't there a simpler way of drowning someone?" "Drown, Mr Bond?" "I doubt you'd get the chance to drown." "Perhaps we could try something on an even simpler vein." "On the contrary, Mr Bond," "I think you'll find those wounds quite fatal." "Whisper..." "The gate." "Slowly, Whisper, slowly, slowly." "Let our diners assemble." "Look out!" "Where's Kananga?" "He always did have an inflated opinion of himself." "Oh, James!" "How do we get out of here?" "We take the train, of course." "Thanks for everything, Felix." "See you tomorrow night at the 21 Club." "Why do you want to travel this way?" "What the hell can the two of you do on the train for 16 hours?" "Say goodbye to Felix, darling." "Now, the first thing to learn in playing gin rummy is never take a card from the exposed pile unless you really need it." "Gin." "James!" "What are you doing?" "Just testing an old adage." ""Unlucky at cards..."" " Do hurry up, James." " Won't be a moment, darling." "Lock the door as well on your way up, would you, James?" "After all, we wouldn't want anyone to just walk in on us, would we?" "For the first time in my life, I feel like a complete woman." "The slightest touch of your hand..." "I was always so afraid that a part of me would stay with the past." "But now I know there's no chance of that any longer." "To be able to reach out and touch you..." "Mr Bond." "It's good to see you again." "Well, that wasn't very funny!" "Now what are you doing?" "Just being disarming, darling." "Visiontext Subtitles by Claire Bates" "Yours." "When I was a boy my mother used to take me off, whenever there was a Richard Dix movie playing, to see it, because she was Richard Dix's number one fan." "You may wonder why I'm telling you this." "Well, the fellow that just got in the coffin, from the wrong way up, is Richard Dix's son, Bob Dix." "About 455 years ago, when I was under contract at MGM in Hollywood," "Bob was also there under contract." "And about a month ago, when we first came to New Orleans," "I suddenly discovered that Bob was here in Slidell." "He now produces pictures as well as acting in them." "I said, "I think it'd be marvellous if you'd do something in the film."" "I spoke to Guy, and he said there's a CIA agent - and that's Bob." "And that was him."
