Good morning, Sir Donald.
:08:02
- This is Commander Bond.
- How do you do? Please sit down.
:08:06
- Sherry?
- Not for me, thanks. Doctor's orders.
:08:09
- Commander Bond?
- Yes, thank you.
:08:11
You've been on holiday, I understand.
:08:14
Relaxing, I hope.
:08:16
Hardly relaxing but... most satisfying.
:08:19
Cheers.
:08:23
Pity about your liver, sir.
It's an unusually fine Solera.
:08:27
- '51 , I believe.
- There is no year for sherry, 007.
:08:31
I was referring to the original vintage
on which the sherry is based, sir.
:08:37
1851 .
:08:40
Unmistakable.
:08:41
Precisely.
:08:43
Tell me, Commander.
:08:45
How far does your expertise extend
into the field of diamonds?
:08:49
Hardest substance found in nature.
They cut glass. Suggest marriage.
:08:54
They've replaced a dog
as a girl's best friend. That's about it.
:08:57
Refreshing to hear there's one subject
you're not an expert on.
:09:01
Perhaps I'd better give you
a brief background into our problem.
:09:05
Eighty per cent of the world's diamonds
come from mines in South Africa.
:09:10
Most are dug out ofshafts
of diamond-bearing clay
:09:14
at depths ofup to 3,000 feet.
:09:15
The whole process, from start to finish,
is subject to an airtight security system.
:09:21
It's an essential precaution,
:09:23
though the industry prides itselfon
the loyalty and devotion ofits workers.
:09:29
Naturally the security measures
tend to ensure that loyalty,
:09:33
as do the extensive amenities
and social services we provide.
:09:37
There's a permanent staff
of doctors, nurses,
:09:40
even dentists.
:09:41
The whole process, from start to finish,
is subject to an airtight security system.
:09:46
It's a necessary precaution,
:09:47
though the industry prides itselfon
the loyalty and devotion ofits workers.
:09:51
Next!
:09:57
The scorpion.
