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.
:09:01
I cannot disclose exact figures.
:09:03
The enemy has penetrated
our most secret inner circles.
:09:07
- He reads our very mind.
- For all we know,
:09:09
he has his eye on us now.
:09:11
Are you quite sure
he is not one or m-more of you?
:09:14
- No, no.
- Absolutely sure.
:09:17
Until this danger is past, we must
stand united in the defence of all spies,
:09:21
great or small, regardless of nationality.
:09:24
Calamity makes strange b-bedfellows,
but why, in the strength of your unity,
:09:29
do you disturb a gentleman
in his retirement?
:09:31
We need your inspirational leadership.
:09:34
Please give us the benefit of
your incomparable powers of deduction.
:09:38
- For all freedom-loving peoples.
- For the glorious socialist revolution.
:09:42
If I may interrupt this flow of clichés,
:09:45
it is now that time of day
I have set apart for Debussy.
