- Where is General Orlov now?

- Last reported heading for the border.

Guten Tag.

(guard's whistle)

I must get to that train!

Halt! Stehen bleiben!

Stop!

A common thief!

A disgrace to the uniform.

Yes. But tomorrow,

I shall be a hero

of the Soviet Union.

(train whistle)

It is now 11.45.

The performance begins at 3.

Allowing for delays,

set the bomb to detonate at 3.45.

We must leave the base by 3. 15.

I take it none of you will be late.

(clatter)

Hai-ya!

Argh!

The jewellery!

- Did you recognise him?

- No.

Stay here with her.

Ooh! Argh!

Ahhhh!

Argh!

On the roof. Trouble!

Mischka!

(both scream)

Ooh!

And this

for my brother.

Argh!

And that's for 009.

(cheering and whistling)

(car approaching)

(honks horn)

(military march)

Kommen Sie hier! Kommen Sie hier!

(derisory laughter)

Gobinda will stay with the jewellery.

- Wurst, Bubi?

- Danke, Liebchen.

- Schneller!

- Ja, ja.

- Wurst?

- Wir machen schon. Ist gut!

- Ein Bier?

- Danke schn, sehr freundlich.

(driver) Ja, ja, wir fahren...

(woman chattering) Ja, ja, ja!

- Essen?

- Nichts, danke!

Nehmen Sie ein wenig Wurst.

- Diese Englnder sind ganz verrckt!

- Bitte, Frulein! Ist sehr wichtig...

(band plays circus music)

(INAUDIBLE)

- (door shuts, engine starts)

- Was machen Sie... Das ist mein Auto!

He, mein Auto!

(siren)

General, excuse me. I have some travel

arrangements to make. Enjoy the show.

- Thank you.

- I'm sure he'll get a big blast out of this!

I know he won't be disappointed.

(crowd cheering)

(car fails to start)

(car starts)

(honking)

- That was Bond.

- Good! Let him keep going.

He'll be late and we'll be rid of him too!

Great, isn't it?

(drum roll)

Fantastic! Fantastic!

Marvellous!

General, how long would I get

in the brig if I stole your wallet?

- Er, about two years.

- That long?

Well, in that case, I'd better return it!

Son of a gun!

- Where's the Base Commander?

- Let's see your circus pass.

- Damn it, man, it's urgent!

- (sirens)

Get out, put your hands up!

Gestohlenes Auto!

Captain, some nut went through in

a stolen car. Wants the Base Commander.

He's wearing a red shirt.

There he is! There he is!

Go after that guy in the red shirt.

He's ducked behind the trailers.

Keep searching, you guys.

He's gotta be around here somewhere.

Look under the trailer, you guys.

- (compre) Ladies and gentlemen...

- Hey! Is anyone else in there?

And now for the first time in this country,

the death-defying human cannonball!

I have the pleasure in presenting to you

Francisco the Fearless!

The suspect's wearing a clown suit. Over.

That's him!

Hold it, buddy! You're coming with us.

- General, there's a bomb in that cannon.

- Sure! Where else would a bomb be?

- Great clown!

- I'm deadly serious! I'm a British agent!

- What?

- For God's sake, tell him who I am!

Kamal and Orlov double-crossed you.

I saw them take the jewellery off the train!

Does that convince you?

Sir, that bomb is set to explode at 3.45.

That's 90 seconds from now!

General, this man's either drunk or crazy.

He'll destroy the entire operation.

You two, grab that man!

Grab him! Hold him!

(Bond) Damn it! Let go!

Let me go, there's a bomb in there!

(gasping)

(screaming)

Let him go!

Quiet, everyone! Quiet!

(gasp from crowd)

- Now?

- (riotous laughter)

Thank you. You did a great job.

Where was Kamal going?

Back to India.

(General) Folks, we've had an emergency,

but everything is all right now.

You and your families are safe.

Now, please leave the tent

in an orderly manner. Thank you.

- The plane is refuelled.

- We'll take off at sunrise.

- Are the gold certificates on board?

- Yes, Excellence.

We'll take these also.

Dollars, pounds, francs, marks.

I can always print my own.

(music and laughter)

- What is that?

- Girls selling themselves.

Good. It will keep the men occupied.

I don't want them to see me leave.

Now!

Argh!

Give us a hand.

Come on! Shh!

Let's go. All set?

Lift!

That's it. Steady.

- Make sure the horses are saddled.

- Yes, Excellence.

I'll join you in a few minutes.

- Do you really think you can escape me?

- Orlov betrayed us.

I swear I knew nothing about the bomb.

We're partners, we're friends. Octopussy,

I would never do anything to hurt you.

(gives order in Hindi)

You left me to be killed

along with thousands of innocent people!

Octopussy.

Look! I was bringing you this.

We can make millions.

(alarm bell)

Take her! She's our ticket out of here.

- I trust you can handle this contraption.

- It goes by hot air.

Oh, then you can!

(Q) They're doing fine.

(Bond) But I don't see Octopussy.

- There she is! She's in trouble!

- Get your hands off me!

- (Q) I'll take her down.

- No! Up!

Where are you going?

Look, don't be an idiot, 007. Come back!

Kill him!

(Hindi)

(gasping)

Come on!

What are you doing?

Cut it out! We haven't time for that!

- Ah.

- Later perhaps.

Come on! Giddap!

Come on! Come on!

(rattling)

He'll kill us all! Go out and get him!

- Out there?

- Go!

Yes, Excellence.

Aaagghh!

- Jump!

- Ohhhhh!

Oh, no! Oh, no!

My government categorically denies

the incident ever occurred.

However, we request Bond to return

one of our most historic treasures,

the Romanov Star.

In the interests of our Anglo-Soviet

relationships, that can be arranged.

Ah, where is Commander Bond?

Well, owing to the serious nature of his

injuries, he's still not fit enough to travel.

In! Out! In! Out!

- I wish...

- What?

I wish you weren't

in such a weakened condition.

Oh, James!

Mmmm!

James!

(All Time High playing)

All I wanted was a sweet distraction

For an hour or two

Had no intention to do

The things we've done

Funny how it always goes with love

When you don't look, you find

But then we're two of a kind

We move as one

We're an all time high

We'll change all that's gone before

Doing so much more

Than falling in love

On an all time high

We'll take on the world and win

So hold on tight

Let the flight

Begin

I don't want to waste a waking moment

I don't want to sleep

I'm in so strong and so deep

And so are you

In my time I've said these words before

But now I realise

My heart was telling me lies

For you they're true

We're an all time high

We'll change all that's gone before

Doing so much more

Than falling in love

On an all time high

We'll take on the world and win

So hold on tight

Let the flight

Begin

So hold on tight

Let the flight

Begin

We're an all time high
