## James Bond

* [repeated line] We have all the time in the world.
* I miss you. [to Vesper Lynd's tomb, where he burns a note asking her "Forgive Me"]
* [to Madeline] You're right. Letting go is hard.
* [to Felix Leiter about Logan Ash] Where did you find The Book of Mormon?
* [to M / Mallory] I met your new 007! She's a disarming young woman...
* What is this, SPECTRE bunga-bunga?
* Die Blofeld! Die!
* [after using his EMP watch to turn Cyclops' bionic eye into a makeshift grenade] I just showed someone your watch, Q. It really blew their mind.

## Lyutsifer Safin

* Saving someone's life connects you to them forever, the same as taking it. They belong to you
* The thing that no one wants to admit is that most people want things to happen to them. We tell each other lies about the fight for free will and independence, but we don't really want that. We want to be told how to live and then die when we're not looking. People want oblivion, and a few of us are born to build it for them. So here I am - their invisible god sneaking under their skin.
* And now, we are both poisoned with heartbreak. Two heroes in a tragedy of our own making. Everyone we touch, we are their curse. A stroke to their cheek, a kiss would kill them instantly. Yes, Madeline. Yes, Mathilde. You made me do this, you see? This was your choice.

## Nomi

* Need a ride?
* I have a thing for old wrecks.
* [to Bond as he rests in Jamaica] Look, this all seems like heaven. This little bubble, or whatever. But it's so obvious you're a man who only has time to kill and nothing to live for.
* [to M] Sir, permission for Bond to be re-designated 007? [to Bond] It's just a number.

## Madeline Swann

* As long as we're looking over our shoulder, the past is not dead. You have to let her go, even if it's hard.
* [to Mathilde] I'm going to tell you a story about a man. His name was Bond. James Bond.

## Others

* Valdo Obruchev: Yes, I like... animals. Bye bye!
* Felix Leiter: Seems intelligence isn't central anymore.
* Felix: I don't know about you... but I got a feeling in my gut, Ash might not be on our side.
* ̈ Ernst Stavro Blofeld: I didn't need to kill you. I'd already broken you. I wanted to give you an empty world like the one you gave me. It's enough to almost make me regret it. Almost.

## Dialogue

    Madeline's Mother: What do you think Papa does?
    Madeline: He's a doctor. [Madeline's mother scoffs.] He heals people.
    Madeline's Mother: Oh, no. No, no, your Papa... He kills people.
    Madeline: No.
    Madeline's Mother: Is that who you love? Murderers?
    [a masked man enters the Swann home]
    Safin: Is Mr. White home?
    Madeline's Mother: No, he's gone.
    Man: My name is Lyutsifer Safin. Your husband killed my family.
    Madeline's Mother: I'm telling you, he's gone.
    Safin: I know. This will hurt him more. [fires assault rifle pointblank at her]
    Bond: How's the view?
    Madeline: It's growing on me. Can we go faster?
    Bond: We don't need to go faster, we have all the time in the world.
    Madeline: You can't help looking over your shoulder.
    Bond: What?
    Madeline: No one's coming.
    Bond: I wasn't looking over my shoulder!
    Madeline: Yes, you were.
    Bond: No -- are we gonna have a row about this?
    Dr Hardy: You okay?
    Dr. Symes: You know the SL5, the weaponized smallpox I was using this morning, have you seen it? I, I, I put it in the bloody...
    [Valdo takes a Tupperware container from the fridge. The two doctors turn to him.]
    Dr Hardy: Valdo, you haven't seen a tub of smallpox, have you?
    [Valdo looks at the Tupperware container. We see: VALDO’S FOOD NO TOUCH!!! in bold red print. Underneath is a printed sticker labelled: SMALLPOX. Valdo throws the container down.]
    Valdo: This was good soup, now... Now, it is waste. Even if it is joke. Idiotic. There is more complexity in my tomato soup than in both of your brains combined.
    Dr. Symes: Valdo, that is so unkind. It's so--
    Valdo: One day, I will put Ebola in your tea, and then I will watch as your faces sweat blood. And I will be laughing.
    Felix: Help us get this into the right hands.
    Bond: Oh, what, and you're the right hands?
    Felix: I'm not just a pretty face!
    Bond: I stopped trusting pretty faces a long time ago, Felix.
    Felix: Yeah, I heard. Bad luck.
    Bond: Bad judgement.
    Felix: Yeah... Harder to tell the good from bad, villains from heroes these days. I need you James. You’re the only one I trust with this. I’m not screwing around. I wanna get back to my family, tell them I saved the world again! Don't you?
    Nomi: By the way -- I'm not just any old Double-Oh. I'm Double-Oh-Seven. You probably thought they'd retire it.
    Bond: It's just a number.
    Bond: Look, we need to have a conversation about the company you keep.
    Felix: I'm with you.
    [Bond and a wounded Felix are trapped in the lower deck of the trawler, which is rapidly taking on water as it sinks.]
    Felix: It's like back when I was a kid... on that shrimp boat.
    Bond: You're from Milwaukee!
    Felix: Am I? I thought I made that up!
    Felix: You got this?
    Bond: Yeah. Yeah!
    Felix: Make it worth it! James... it's a good life, isn't it?
    Bond: The best.
    Nomi: [about Bond] I get why you shot him.
    Miss Moneypenny: Yeah, well, everyone tries at least once.
    [Bond fights off Logan Ash and his men; Ash lies crippled underneath a flipped SUV only being held back by a tree now sagging under the weight]
    Logan Ash: You won't be able to stop him! So why don't you help me out, brother?
    Bond: I had a brother. His name was Felix Leiter. [Bond pulls the SUV down, letting the tree snap. Ash is crushed by the SUV.]
    Bond: If I don't come back, blow it all to shit.
    Nomi: We don't have enough explosives for that.
    Bond: Yeah, but they don't know that.
    [Bond is conversing with Q over the radio. James is still on Safin's island while Madeline and her daughter, Mathilde are on a separate island with Nomi standing guard. There are Tomahawk Missiles headed towards the island, but Bond is critically injured and has been poisoned with Safin's nanobots.]
    Q: Oh God. It's for Madeline.
    Bond: It's alright Q. It's all alright. Will you put Madeline on please?
    Q: Yes of course. How stupid of me.
    [Q patched Madeline through.]
    Madeline: James?
    Bond: Madeline...
    Madeline: I'm here. Where are you? Is it done? [Bond hesitates to respond, completely exhausted.] James?
    Bond: Yes, yes, yes... He's dead. Are you both there?
    Madeline: Yes.
    Bond: Good! Be safe, that's good.
    Madeline: Have you left?
    [Bond briefly pauses.]
    Bond: No. Um... I'm not gonna make it.
    Madeline: [tearfully] What?
    Bond: Um...
    Madeline: No, you promised.
    Bond: Now, Madeline... [resumes climbing and finally ascends to the top of the control room, peeking out of a hatch that overlooks the island.]
    Madeline: Just get off that island. I know you can do this. Everything's good now! There's no one left to hurt us...
    Bond: Madeline... [stares out into the sunset, trying to catch his breath.] You have made... The most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Perfect. Because she came from you. [stumbles out of the hatch to see that the island's silo doors are open, ensuring the missiles will destroy the nanobots inside Safin's lair.]
    Madeline: Oh, God. The vial... You've been poisoned!
    Bond: Yes.
    Madeline: There must be a way. There must be a way... We just need more time! If we only had more time...!
    Bond: You have all the time in the world.
    Madeline: I love you.
    Bond: I love you too.
    [Madeline and Nomi watch as the missiles rocket through the sky and towards Safin's island. Mathilde watches as well, uncomprehending. Madeline turns to her daughter, then goes back to the radio.]
    Madeline: She does have your eyes.
    Bond: I know. [looks up as the missiles go on terminal guidance, breaking off into fragments like fireworks. In his final moments, he is dignified and composed.] I know... [The missiles hit the island and Bond watches the first explosion before a second hit obscures Bond entirely.]
    Mallory / M: Very hard to know what to say. But I thought we should gather, and remember.
    [Mallory sets a glass of whiskey down on a coaster in the center of the table -- a memorial to Bond. A wide shot reveals Mallory, Q, Moneypenny, Tanner, and Nomi circled around it. Mallory pulls a small book out of his jacket pocket.]
    Mallory: And I... I thought this was appropriate: [quoting a Jack London book] "The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." [sets the book down, grabs a glass of his own and stands. Tanner begins a circle-wide toast.]
    Tanner: To James.
    Nomi: James.
    Q: James.
    Moneypenny: James.
    Mallory: James... [They all drink to his memory.] Right. Back to work. [clinks the glass on the table.]
