The one from the Tong society|that you robbed.

When trouble comes, you'll find|this is a small and naked island.

An expendable island.

When my mission is accomplished,|I'll destroy it and move on.

But the habit of enquiry is consistent.|I see you're wondering why, where, when.

I gratify your curiosity|because you're the one man

capable of appreciating what I've done

and keeping it to himself.

Just a minute. There's no point|in involving the girl at this stage.

Let her go free. She'll promise not to talk.

- No, I'm staying with you.|- I don't want you here.

I agree. This is no place for the girl.

Take her away.

No!

No!

- I'm sure the guards will amuse her.|- Let me go! No!

That's a Dom Prignon '55.|It would be a pity to break it.

I prefer the '53 myself.

Clumsy effort, Mr Bond.|You disappoint me.

I'm not a fool,

so please do not treat me as one.|And that table knife, please put it back.

Well, we can't all be geniuses, can we?

Does the toppling of American missiles|really compensate for having no hands?

Missiles are only the first step|to prove our power.

"Our" power? Your disregard for human life|means you must be working for the East.

East, West - just points of the compass,|each as stupid as the other.

I'm a member of SPECTRE.

- SPECTRE?|- SPECTRE.

Special Executive for Counterintelligence,|Terrorism, Revenge, Extortion.

The four cornerstones of power, headed|by the greatest brains in the world.

Correction. "Criminal" brains.

The successful criminal brain|is always superior. It has to be.

Well, why become criminal?

I'm sure the West would welcome|a scientist of your... calibre.

The Americans are fools.|I offered my services. They refused.

So did the East.|Now they can both pay for their mistake.

World domination. That same old dream.

Our asylums are full of people|who think they're Napoleon... or God.

You persist in trying to provoke me,|Mr Bond.

- I could've had you killed in the swamp.|- And why didn't you?

I thought you less stupid.|Usually, when a man gets in my way...

But you were different.|You cost me time, money,

effort. You damaged my organisation

and my pride.

I was curious to see|what kind of a man you were.

I thought there might be a place|for you with SPECTRE.

I'm flattered.

I'd prefer the revenge department.

My first job would be finding the man|who killed Strangways and Quarrel.

I misjudged you.|You are just a stupid policeman

whose luck has run out.

They're waiting for you|in the control room, Dr No.

No hurry. They won't have started|their countdown check yet.

You won't get away with it, Dr No. The|Americans are prepared for any trouble.

I never fail, Mr Bond.

What do we do with him?

Soften him up.|I haven't finished with him yet.

Aagh!

Have you got new fuel elements loaded?

All ready, sir.
