Dr. No Page #5

- Mm?|- I'm pretty sure he killed my father.

What?

You see,|my father was a marine zoologist.

We came to the Caribbean|for him to study seashells.

One day he came to Crab Key...

...and I never saw him again.

They said he must have drowned,

but he was too good a diver|for that to happen to him.

Didn't the police investigate?|And your family?

They investigated for a long time.

Then they said|"Missing, presumed dead".

I haven't got any family.|There was only my father and me.

You're here all alone?

Where did you live before?

All over the world.

The Philippines, Bali, Hawaii.

Anywhere there were shells.

You went to school "somewhere"?

I didn't need to. We had an encyclopedia.

I started at A when I was eight,|and now I've reached T.

I bet I know a lot more things than you do.

Didn't anyone in Kingston help?

Well... there was this man who owned|the place where we were living.

He let me stay on|for a while without paying.

Then one night he came up to my room...

Well, you know.

I scratched his face, and then...

But he was stronger than I was.

What happened after that?

I put a black-widow spider|underneath his mosquito net.

A female, and they're the worst.

It took him a whole week to die.

Did I do wrong?

Well, it wouldn't do to make a habit of it.

Do you have a woman of your own?

Captain, quick! Down here!

Whatever's coming, it's coming this way!

This time I want to see it.

And hurry!|There's less than 12 hours to go!

Stay where you are!

All of you! Stay right where you are!

OK, Captain.|If that ain't a dragon, what is it?

A dragon that runs on diesel.

Forget the spooks, Quarrel. You take the|driver. I'll take the headlights and tyres.

You keep safe out of sight.

Come on.

I told you to stay there!

- I was frightened.|- Get down!

Come on out!|Hands where we can see 'em!

And the dame! Quick!

Unless you want an extra navel.

Hold it. Drop that gun.

Now kick it away from you.

The girl will stay where she is.|Now walk towards me, hands out in front.

Come on!

Hey, you!|Where do you think you're going!

Sorry we ain't got any flowers.|Come on, let's go.

Come on. Come on, let's go!

Give me that knife.

Leave him alone!

- Leave him alone!|- Get out of the way!

Get inside!

Keep an eye on the man.

And be careful. They've been|in the swamp and they're contaminated.

Check their Geiger reading.

He's reading 95, Chief.

She's 88.

Too much for the monitor.|Scrub them down, but quick!

Do another reading.

- Reading 72.8.|- The mud's soaked into their clothes.

All right, then. Take off all their clothes.

- What's he going to do?|- Do as he says. We're contaminated.

- Do the girl first.|- We give the orders around here.

Fine, but do something about this.|Come here, you. Here.

Use the high-temperature jets.|Full pressure.

- She's reading 47.|- All right. Put the man through.

He's now clocking 40.

Stages three and five.

Reading 38.

- Down to 8.|- Hold the girl.

He's now 18.

He's now at 8.

- She's clear.|- Good. Get the man ready.

He's got a count of four.

- Check his fingernails.|- Put your hands in there.

He's OK.

I will notify reception|they're coming through.

Decontamination here.|They're coming through.

Come in.

Come in!

Come in... you poor dears.

We simply didn't know|when to expect you.

First it was teatime yesterday,|and then dinner.

It was only half an hour ago|we knew you were on your way.

Cigarette? American, English, or Turkish?

I'm Sister Rose. This is Sister Lily. We'll|make your stay as pleasant as possible.

That's most kind of you, but...

Oh, you'll want to see your rooms!|Breakfast is ready,

and then you'll want to sleep.

The doctor left strict orders you're|not to be disturbed until this evening.

He'll be delighted|if you join him for dinner.

- Will you be there?|- Tell him I also will be delighted.

Splendid. I know he'll be pleased.

Here we are.

This will be your room, Mr Bond.

This is your bathroom in here.

And for you, young lady,

this is your room.

You'll find fresh clothes in here.

I hope they fit.|We didn't get your sizes till last night.

Don't hesitate to ring|if there's anything you want.

Such as two air tickets to London?

I'll leave you two dear people in peace.

- Well, let's have some breakfast.|- How can you eat at a time like this?

I'm hungry. We don't know when|we'll get the chance to eat again.

Here, take this.

Careful. The whole place|is probably wired for sound.

Have you...

Have you any idea|what they'll do with us?

No idea.

No door handles or windows, either.

It's a prison, then.

Mink-lined with first-class service.

What's the matter?

I don't feel so good.

I feel so sleepy.

Damn coffee!

How do you feel?

Sleepy.

What made us pass out like that?

The coffee was drugged.

It's time for dinner.|We don't want to keep the doctor waiting.

That would never do. Ready, Honey?

I suppose so.

You're doing fine.

Come on.

Am I properly dressed for the occasion?

- Quite suitable.|- Suitable for what?

This way, please.

I'm glad your hands are sweating, too.

Of course I'm scared, too.

Be natural and leave all the talking to me.

In here, please.

I hope you enjoy your dinner.

Come and look!

Artificial light. We could be|hundreds of feet beneath the sea.

Look at that. Sea tulips.

They do not grow above 200ft.

One million dollars, Mr Bond.

You were wondering what it cost.

As a matter of fact, I was.

Forgive my not shaking hands.|It's awkward with these. A misfortune.

You were admiring my aquarium.

Yes. It's quite impressive.

A unique feat of engineering,|if I may say so. I designed it myself.

The glass is convex, ten inches thick,|which accounts for the magnifying effect.

Minnows pretending they're whales.|Just like you on this island, Dr No.

It depends, Mr Bond,

on which side of the glass you are.

A medium dry martini, lemon peel,|shaken, not stirred.

- Vodka?|- Of course.

We'll have dinner at once.

There's so much to discuss. So little time.

Well, Dr No, you haven't done badly,|considering.

A handicap is what you make of it.

I was the unwanted child|of a German missionary

and a Chinese girl of good family.

Yet I became treasurer of the most|powerful criminal society in China.

It's rare for the Tongs to trust anyone|who isn't completely Chinese.

I doubt they shall do so again.

I escaped to America|with ten million of their dollars in gold.

That's how you financed this operation.

A good idea to use atomic power.|I'm glad you can handle it properly.

I'd hate to think your decontamination|chamber wasn't effective.

My work has given me|a unique knowledge of radioactivity,

but not without costs, as you see.

Yes.

Your power source had|our organisation puzzled for some time.

They are still puzzled, Mr Bond.

Not any longer. I sent a complete report.

You've not contacted your headquarters|since you requested a Geiger counter.

But there are so many files|open on you already, Dr No.

Our own, the CIA's...
