Quotes 

  • James Bond : [looking at the tattoo on Magda's back]  Forgive my curiosity, but, what is that?

    Magda : That's my little octopussy.

  • James Bond : [Q's mechanized version of the "Indian Rope Trick" malfunctions]  Having problems keeping it up, Q?

    Q : Experimental model!

  • [Bond and Q are floating in a hot air balloon] 

    James Bond : I trust you can handle this contraption, Q?

    Q : It goes by hot air.

    James Bond : Oh, then you can.

  • [Confronting James Bond] 

    Kamal Khan : You have a nasty habit of surviving.

    James Bond : You know what they say about the fittest.

  • M : Remember, 007, you're on your own.

    James Bond : Well, thank you, sir. That's a great comfort.

  • Magda : I guess this is good night.

    James Bond : I could come in for a nightcap.

    [Gobinda puts a hand in front of Magda's door] 

    James Bond : Some other time perhaps.

    James Bond : [Gobinda walks Bond back to his room]  I don't suppose you'd care for a nightcap?

  • [Twin Two throws several knives at Bond, which pass through his clothes, pinning him to a cabin door] 

    Twin Two : [draws another knife]  And this... for my brother...

    [Bond plucks one of the knives from the door, and throws it at Twin Two, hitting him fatally in his stomach] 

    James Bond : And that's for 009!

  • James Bond : [the real Col. Luis Toro has found Bond]  Well, it's small world. You're a Toro, too!

  • Q : [Q is demonstrating a pen filled with acid]  Dissolves all metals.

    James Bond : Wonderful for poison pen letters...

    Q : Pay attention, 007!

  • James Bond : [bad guys are chasing Bond and Vijay]  Vijay, we've got company!

    Vijay : No problem, this is a company car.

    [the unlikely-looking Tuk-Tuk 'rickshaw cab' accelerates through the crowd on its back wheels] 

  • Jim Fanning : [after Bond bids for the egg]  Have you gone mad?

    James Bond : Let's see how badly he wants it.

  • [Bond is dragged from a river onto a tour boat] 

    Woman on Tour Boat : Are you with our group?

    James Bond : No, ma'am, I'm with the economy tour!

  • James Bond : [using Kamal's loaded dice to beat him in backgammon]  Double sixes. Fancy that!

  • Front Desk Clerk : I hope you have a pleasant stay.

    [Bond eyes a bikini clad beauty nearby who smiles at him] 

    James Bond : I'm, ah, sure I will.

  • [first lines] 

    James Bond : You didn't tell me there was going to be this much security.

    Bianca : They moved the flight up to this afternoon.

    James Bond : Well, we're going to have to go ahead as planned anyway.

    [Bianca hands an ID badge with the name 'Luis Toro' to Bond] 

    James Bond : Toro. Sounds like a load of bull.

  • Octopussy : A paid assassin.

    James Bond : When I kill it is on the specific orders of my Government.

  • James Bond : [handing a wad of Indian cash to his accomplice]  That should keep you in curry for a few weeks.

  • James Bond : I would have taken that double, myself.

    Kamal Khan : Then, why don't you take over the Major's position? Mr?

    James Bond : Bond, James Bond.

  • M : You had no business bidding for that egg! What would you have done if you'd had been stuck with it?

    James Bond : Then I would have claimed it was a fake, sir... and not paid.

    M : Not paid?

    James Bond : Here is the real one. I swiped it with the fake at the auction.

    M : Good God. And what happens when the buyer discovers this?

    James Bond : He complains.

    M : Well?

    James Bond : I don't think he will complain. According to Fanning, this Kamal usually sells. Now he buys. I think the fake will smoke him out. I had a tail follow him to Heathrow, where he caught a plane to Delhi.

    M : You must go there, too. I'll have Sadruddin, our man at Station I, there to assist you.

    James Bond : Yes, well, I have exactly 35 minutes to catch that plane.

    M : Oh, Bond... sign a chit for that egg on your way out... it's government property now.

  • James Bond : [Bond's jet is on empty but he manages to land it next to a gas station and the pump attendant comes out to greet him]  Fill er' up, please!

  • James Bond : What can I say, Miss Moneypenny, except to say that she is - as attractive and, eh - as charming...

    Miss Moneypenny : As I used to be?

    James Bond : I didn't say that.

    Miss Moneypenny : You're such a flatterer, James.

    James Bond : Oh, Moneypenny, you know there never has been and - there never will be -anybody but you.

    Miss Moneypenny : So, you've told me.

  • M : Do you know what this is?

    James Bond : Why, it looks like a Fabergé egg, sir. One of the jeweled eggs made by Carl Fabergé as an Easter gift to the Russian royal family. They're priceless and very rare. This one contains a model of the imperial stage coach.

    M : Top marks, 007.

    James Bond : Thank you, sir.

    M : Except - it's a fake.

  • James Bond : May I join you? Sotheby's. Half a million pounds.

    Magda : The man at the auction.

    James Bond : Precisely.

    Magda : You have a very good memory for faces.

    James Bond : And figures.

  • James Bond : Let's put it this way, up to now you are the least lethal and, by far, the prettiest of Kamal's friends that I've come across.

    Magda : Thank you.

    James Bond : So, does he have a proposition for me or - do you?

    Magda : He suggests trade. The egg - for you life.

    James Bond : Well, I heard the price of eggs was going up, but, isn't that a little high?

  • Magda : It's for my scrapbook. I collect - memories.

    James Bond : Well, let's get on with - making a few.

  • Kamal Khan : Good evening, Mr. Bond.

    James Bond : Good evening.

    Kamal Khan : Well rested? I believe you and Miss Magda have - met?

    James Bond : It was a pleasure.

    Magda : You're too kind.

  • Sadruddin : It belongs to a fabulously wealthy woman who lives on the floating palace.

    James Bond : Who is she?

    Sadruddin : No one knows her real name; but, she's known as Octopussy.

    James Bond : Well, that's the name I heard at Kamal's.

    Vijay : I hear the island is fully of beautiful women. No men allowed.

    James Bond : Really? Sexual discrimination. I'll definitely have to pay it a visit.

  • Octopussy : [Bond sneaks on to the island and makes his way into Octopussy's room]  Good evening. I wondered when you might arrive.

    James Bond : So you are the mysterious Octopussy.

    Octopussy : And you are James Bond, 007, licensed to kill. Am l to be your target for tonight?

    James Bond : Oh no, not necessarily. Depends how much you tell me about jewelry smuggling. And why one of our agents was killed in East Berlin.

    Octopussy : I know nothing about that. You remember Major Dexter Smythe? You were sent out to arrest him, weren't you?

    James Bond : You seem to have done your homework.

    James Bond : [Octopussy hands Bond a drink]  Thank you.

    James Bond : Yes. Smythe, after a brilliant military career, was seconded to our secret service. His mission was to recover a cache of Chinese gold seized in North Korea. Both he and his native guide disappeared. The gold was never found.

    Octopussy : And 20 years later you were sent after him.

    James Bond : Well, the guide's body turned up with a bullet still in his skull from Smythe's service revolver. I traced Smythe to Sri Lanka, faced him with the facts, and gave him 24 hours to clear up his affairs before I took him back.

    Octopussy : He committed suicide rather than face the disgrace of a court martial.

    James Bond : What's the connection?

    Octopussy : He was my father. I'd hoped fate would bring us together one day.

    James Bond : To avenge him?

    Octopussy : No, to thank you for giving him an honorable alternative.

  • Orlov : [enters the trailer, sees Bond in Mischka's 'Twin One' clothes from behind and mistakes him for Mischka]  Leave that! Let's go.

    James Bond : [turns around, facing Orlov with pointed gun]  Let's stay. Sit on that box. Hands on your knees. Come on, move! Now why is that bomb on the train?

    Orlov : Who are you?

    James Bond : I'm British Secret Service.

    Orlov : You should be more concerned about getting out of here alive.

    James Bond : I am more concerned about an atomic bomb exploding on a US Air Force base! You surely can't be inviting a full-scale nuclear war? What happens when the US retaliates?

    Orlov : [grinning]  Against whom?

    James Bond : [frowning, realizing Orlov's scheme]  My God... of course. Our early-warning system will rule out the possibility of that bomb having been launched from Russia or anywhere else. Everyone will assume incorrectly... that it was a American bomb triggered accidentally.

    Orlov : Well, that would be the most plausible explanation.

    James Bond : Europe will insist on unilateral disarmament, leaving every border undefended for you to walk across at will! And it doesn't matter a damn to you I suppose that thousands of innocent people will be killed in that "accident" of yours?

    Orlov : Better than letting a handful of old men in Moscow bargain away our advantage in disarmament talks!

    James Bond : On your feet, General. You're going to stop that train.

    Orlov : [they hear hoot as the train starts to move off]  It's too late.

    James Bond : You can stop it at the border.

    [suddenly the door opens. Bond turns around to see a Russian soldier. Bond kills the soldier before he manages to point his rifle, and meanwhile Orlov escapes] 

  • James Bond : [runs into a tiger in the jungle, does Barbara Woodhouse imitation:]  Sit!

  • James Bond : Well, I must say you've become more beautiful everyday.

    Miss Moneypenny : *I'm* over here.

    James Bond : Oh, of course you are.

    Miss Moneypenny : And this is Miss Penelope Smallbone - my new assistant.

  • James Bond : Welcome to Universal Exports.

    [Bond gives Miss Smallbone a bouquet of red carnations] 

    Miss Moneypenny : Take it dear, that's all you'll ever get from him.

    Penelope Smallbone : Thank you, Commander Bond.

    James Bond : You know me?

    Penelope Smallbone : Miss Moneypenny described you.

    Miss Moneypenny : In nauseating detail.

    James Bond : Really?

  • Octopussy : Good evening. I wondered when you might arrive.

    James Bond : So you are the mysterious Octopussy.

    Octopussy : And you are James Bond, 007, Licensed to Kill. Am I to be your target tonight?

  • Octopussy : Mr. Bond, smuggling is no concern of the Secret Service. I've violated no British law. You're free to leave; but, I'd much rather prefer if you'd stay as my guest for a few days.

    James Bond : I'd like that.

  • James Bond : At the risk of appearing to be making light dinner conversation, may I ask exactly why I'm here?

  • Octopussy : [James embraces and kisses Octopussy]  No!

    James Bond : You're right, we are two of a kind.

    [Kiss] 

    Octopussy : Oh - James!

  • Octopussy : When Father's gold ran out, the people in Hong Kong who'd disposed of it for him offered me a commission to smuggle some diamonds. I discovered I had a talent for it.

    James Bond : You went into business for yourself?

    Octopussy : Yes, but l needed an organization, so l revived the old Octopus cult.

    James Bond : Well, then. Where did you recruit all these lovelies?

    Octopussy : There are many of them all over Southeast Asia, looking for a guru, spiritual discipline, who knows what. l train them. Give them a purpose, a sisterhood and a way of life.

    James Bond : In crime?

    Octopussy : In business. I have diversified into shipping, hotels, carnivals and circuses.

  • Vijay : [Tells Bond about Kamal's doings, and says that he, too, plays cricket]  As a matter of fact, I've got a part-time job as a pro at Kamal's club.

    James Bond : What have you learned so far?

    Vijay : Well, my backhand's improving.

  • [last lines] 

    [Bond is in traction] 

    Octopussy : I wish...

    James Bond : What?

    Octopussy : I wish you weren't in such a weakened condition.

    [Bond releases himself from traction] 

    Octopussy : Oh, James.

    [Bond kisses Octopussy passionately] 

    Octopussy : James!

  • Magda : [In bed]  I need refilling.

    James Bond : Hmm? Of course you do.

    [reaches for a bottle of champagne] 

  • James Bond : [he tosses all his money to the crowd]  Easy comes, easy goes!

  • James Bond : Ah, Q - how are you?

    Q : Most unhappy, 007, thanks to you. How can I be expected to maintain the quality of my work? Sent out here at a moment's notice! No proper facilities!

    James Bond : Yes, well, you wouldn't have a small piece of thread, now. Somebody seems to have stuck a knife in my wallet.

    Q : Ah, they missed you. What a pity!

    James Bond : I've also mislaid my PPK.

    Q : Anything else?

    James Bond : No, that's all Q.

  • Octopussy : Is something wrong?

    James Bond : Not really. Just a feeling.

    Octopussy : Why don't you come back to bed.

  • James Bond : [Bond lands his plane, folds up the wings and drives into a gas station]  Fill her up, please.

  • James Bond : [Attending a London art auction of a Faberge egg, with an MI6 art expert]  How much should it fetch?

    Jim Fanning : [MI6 art expert]  Oh, 250,000... 300,000 pounds. Anything more would be crazy.

  • Magda : I don't know how to say goodbye.

    James Bond : Actions speak louder than words.
