:19:02
- Who is she, James?
- She is me, Miss Moneypenny,
:19:05
and kindly omit the customary by-play
with 007. He's dining with me
:19:09
and I don't want him to be late.
:19:11
So there's hope for me yet?
:19:15
Moneypenny...
:19:17
Won't you ever believe me?
:19:21
We here at the Bank of England
:19:23
are the official depository
for gold bullion.
:19:26
Just as Fort Knox, Kentucky,
is for the United States.
:19:29
We know the amounts we each hold and
the amounts deposited in other banks.
:19:33
We can estimate what is being held
for industrial purposes.
:19:36
Thus, both governments can establish
:19:38
the true value
of the dollar and the pound.
:19:41
Consequently, we are concerned
with unauthorised leakages.
:19:44
I take it you mean smuggling.
:19:46
Yes.
:19:48
Gold, gentlemen, which can be melted
down and recast, is all but untraceable,
:19:52
which makes it, unlike diamonds,
ideal for smuggling,
:19:56
attracting the biggest
and most ingenious criminals.
:19:59
- Thank you, Brunskill. That'll be all.
- Thank you, sir.
:20:02
Have a little more of this...
rather disappointing brandy.
:20:05
- What's the matter with it?
- I'd say it was a 30-year-old "Fine",
:20:09
indifferently blended, sir.
:20:12
With an overdose of "Bons Bois".
:20:14
Colonel Smithers is
giving the lecture, 007.
:20:19
Gentlemen, Mr Goldfinger
has gold bullion on deposit
:20:21
in Zurich, Amsterdam, Caracas
and Hong Kong - worth £20 million.
:20:25
- Most of it came from this country.
- Why move it?
:20:28
The price of gold varies
from country to country.
:20:31
If you buy it here at $30 an ounce,
you can sell it in, say, Pakistan at $110
:20:35
and triple your money.
:20:37
- If you have facilities for melting it down.
- And has he?
:20:41
Apart from being a legitimate
bullion dealer, Mr Goldfinger poses...
:20:44
No, that's not quite fair.
:20:46
Is, among his many other interests,
a legitimate international jeweller.
:20:51
He's legally entitled to operate
modest metallurgical installations.
:20:55
His British one is down in Kent.
:20:57
We've failed to discover
how he transfers his gold overseas.
