:03:15
- Alec?
- Back from the dead.
:03:18
No longer just an anonymous star
on the Memorial Wall at Ml6.
:03:23
What's the matter, James?
No glib remark? No pithy comeback?
:03:29
Why?
:03:31
Hilarious question. Particularly from you.
:03:35
Did you ever ask why we toppled
all those dictators and regimes,
:03:41
only to come home - "Well done.
Good job, but sorry, old boy."
:03:45
"Everything you risked
your life for has changed."
:03:48
- It was the job we were chosen for.
- Of course you'd say that.
:03:52
James Bond, Her Majesty's loyal terrier,
defender of the so-called faith.
:03:57
Please, James, put it away.
:04:00
It's insulting to think
I haven't anticipated your every move.
:04:06
Yes.
:04:09
- I trusted you, Alec.
- Trust. What a quaint idea.
:04:16
How did the Ml6 screening miss
that your parents were Lienz Cossacks?
:04:20
Once again, your faith
is misplaced. They knew.
:04:23
We're both orphans, James.
:04:26
But where your parents had the luxury
of dying in a climbing accident,
:04:30
mine survived the British betrayal
and Stalin's execution squads.
:04:34
But my father couldn't let himself
or my mother live with the shame of it.
:04:40
Ml6 figured I was too young to remember.
:04:43
And in one of life's little ironies,
:04:46
the son went to work for
the government whose betrayal
:04:49
caused the father to kill
himself and his wife.
:04:52
Hence Janus, the two-faced
Roman god, come to life.
:04:58
It wasn't God who gave me this face.
