:07:01
who leaves a t-trail of beautiful dead
women like blown roses behind him.
:07:06
- You mean...
- You know very well who I mean.
:07:08
That b-bounder
to whom you gave my name and number.
:07:11
My dear James, when you left us
we were a small service,
:07:15
under-financed, ludicrously ill-equipped.
:07:18
It was essential
that your legend be maintained.
:07:21
Without a James Bond 007,
no one would have respected us.
:07:25
Him and his wretched g-gadgets.
:07:27
We must make use
of the weapons of our time.
:07:30
So I observe.
:07:32
You, Ransome, with your trick carnation
that s-spits cyanide.
:07:37
You ought to be ashamed.
:07:40
The Russians started it.
:07:42
And you, Smernov, with an armoury
concealed in your grotesque boots.
:07:48
Listen to them tinkle.
:07:51
And you, Le Grand, with a different
deadly poison in each of your fly buttons.
:07:58
And you, M,
with your flame-throwing fountain pens.
:08:02
Y-Y-You're joke-shop spies, gentlemen.
:08:05
We are in the last half
of the 20th century, Sir James.
:08:08
- Even you have to face it.
- Why should l, when I can face that?
:08:13
Look at my garden.
Out there, there is a black rose.
:08:19
Not dark red, but black.
:08:21
As a raven's wing at midnight.
:08:27
I would not exchange one single petal
for anything your world has to offer,
:08:32
including an Aston M-Martin
with lethal accessories.
:08:35
You have only contempt for
the proletariat, Sir James. This we know.
:08:39
If I didn't know better, I'd say
you'd lost your faith in democracy.
:08:43
You can break the glass,
but you can't hold back the weather.
:08:46
Things are bad. I've lost 11 agents in the
last fortnight - seven killed, four missing.
:08:52
- Is my namesake among them?
- He may well be tomorrow.
:08:56
Eight of ours were given the works -
two in the Pentagon.
:08:59
- 16.
- KGB is depleted.
