The World Is Not Enough Quotes

  • James Bond: Expecting Davidov? He caught a bullet instead of the plane. Get off. Keep your mouth shut.

    Renard: You can't kill me. I'm already dead.

    James Bond: Not dead enough for me.

    Renard: You could show a little gratitude. I did spare your life at the banker's office. That's right. I couldn't. You were working for me. You delivered the money, killed King and now you brought me the plane.

    James Bond: What's your plan for the bomb?

    Renard: You first. Or could it be you don't have a plan?

    [Bond gets angry and pistol-whips Renard across the forehead. Renard falls to the ground]

    James Bond: [as the puts the silencer on his P99] I usually hate killing an unarmed man. Cold-blooded murder is a filthy business.

    Renard: A man tires of being executed.

    R: I think...

    Q: You're not here to think. You're here to do what I tell you.

  • M: I thought we had time on our side.

    Elektra King: The new pipeline will guarantee our future. But it would be a crime to destroy what little is left of our past.

  • James Bond: How did you survive?

    Elektra King: I seduced the guards. Used my body. It gave me control. And the rest, I got a gun and started shooting.

  • Elektra King: So you knew? You knew all the time he was out there, coming for me - and you lied. You used me. You used me as bait. And you made love to me. What? To pass the time as you waited for him to strike?

  • Renard: So beautiful. So smooth. So warm.

    [caressing Elektra's naked buttock]

    Renard: He was - He was a good lover?

    Elektra King: What do you think?

  • Zukovsky: Always something. First the casino. Now the caviar factory. I am a slave to the free-market economy.
