[Bond and Drax are shooting pheasants]
Hugo Drax : You missed, Mr. Bond.
[a sniper falls from a tree]
James Bond : Did I?
-
Hugo Drax : Mr. Bond, you defy all my attempts to plan an amusing death for you. You're hardly a sportsman, so why did you break off the encounter with my pet python?
James Bond : I discovered she had a crush on me.
-
Hugo Drax : James Bond. You appear with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season.
James Bond : I didn't think there WERE any seasons in space.
Hugo Drax : So far as you're concerned, there's only winter.
-
Dr. Holly Goodhead : You know him?
James Bond : Not socially. His name's Jaws, he kills people.
-
James Bond : [after throwing Chang from a clock-tower into a piano, thereby disrupting an operatic performance below] Play it again, Sam.
-
Dr. Holly Goodhead : I still don't know if I trust you.
James Bond : I don't know if I trust you either. That's what makes it more exciting, doesn't it?
-
Hugo Drax : [Hastily grabs pistol, trains it on Bond who has cornered him] At least I shall have the pleasure of putting you out of my misery, Mr. Bond.
[Drax chuckles as Bond raises his hands]
Hugo Drax : Desolated, Mr. Bond?
James Bond : [Bond shoots Drax with a poison dart from his wrist-gun. Drax, gasping, drops his pistol and staggers backwards toward the airlock] Heartbroken, Mr. Drax. Allow me.
[He opens the airlock door and pushes Drax in]
James Bond : Take a giant step for mankind!
[He closes the door and ejects Drax into space]
Dr. Holly Goodhead : [rejoining 007] Where's Drax?
James Bond : Oh, he had to fly.
-
Miss Moneypenny : James! But, why are you so late?
James Bond : I fell out of an airplane without a parachute. Who's in there?
Miss Moneypenny : Q and the Minister of Defense.
James Bond : You don't believe me do you?
Miss Moneypenny : No. And you should go right in.
-
James Bond : Oh, I suppose you're right, Holly. We would be better off working together. Détente?
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Agreed.
James Bond : Understanding?
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Possibly.
James Bond : Co-operation?
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Maybe.
James Bond : Trust?
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Out of the question.
-
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Have you broken something?
James Bond : Only my tailor's heart.
[she kisses him]
James Bond : What was that for?
Dr. Holly Goodhead : For saving my life.
James Bond : Remind me to do it more often!
-
Corinne : [while riding in a helicopter] This is the Drax estate now. Everything you see belongs to Mr. Drax.
James Bond : He owns a lot, doesn't he?
Corinne : What he doesn't own, he doesn't want.
-
James Bond : Bollinger? If it's '69 you were expecting me.
-
[Bond dangles from a cable car a thousand feet up]
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Hang on, James!
James Bond : The thought had occurred to me.
-
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Come on, Mr. Bond. A 70-year-old can take 3 G's.
James Bond : Well, the trouble is there's never a 70-year-old around when you need one.
-
Hugo Drax : Frederick Gray! What a surprise. And in distinguished company, all wearing gas masks. You must excuse me, gentlemen; not being English, I sometimes find your sense of humor rather difficult to follow!
Sir Frederick Gray, Minister of Defence : On behalf of the British government, I apologize.
M , James Bond : I believe you owe us some explanation, 007.
James Bond : I quite agree, sir.
-
James Bond : My name is Bond, James Bond. I'm looking for Dr. Goodhead.
Dr. Holly Goodhead : You just found her.
James Bond : A woman!
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Your powers of observation do you credit Mr. Bond.
-
Dr. Holly Goodhead : [Bond surprises Holly by emerging from the shadows of her hotel room] ... To what do I owe this - ah - unexpected pleasure?
James Bond : ...Your friend Chang just tried to kill me.
Dr. Holly Goodhead : I hope you don't think *I* had anything to do with that. Where is Chang now?
James Bond : [in reference to having tossed Chang through a large glass clock-face to his death] Well, he was being a naughty boy, so I gave him a time-out. A permanent one.
[He discovers a concealed arsenal among her baggage]
James Bond : ... Standard CIA equipment. And the CIA placed you with Drax, correct?
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Very astute of you, James.
James Bond : Oh, not really. I have friends in low places.
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Could this possibly be the moment for us to pool our resources?
James Bond : It could have its compensations.
[They embrace and kiss]
-
Hugo Drax : Despite your efforts, my finely-wrought dream approaches its fulfillment.
James Bond : And what dream are you speaking of?
Hugo Drax : Witness the splendor of my conception. First: a necklace of death about the Earth. Fifty globes, each releasing its nerve gas over a designated area, each capable of killing 100 million people. The human race, as you know it, will cease to exist. Second: a rebirth, the rise of a new world.
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Any dream rooted in that sort of holocaust hasn't a chance, Drax. Hitler thought so, remember?
Hugo Drax : [chuckles] So I've been told by others. We shall see whether I have learned enough from the mistakes of his Third Reich to succeed where he failed.
-
Q : [explaining operation of dart wrist-gun] It's activated by nerve impulses from the wrist muscles.
James Bond : Like this?
[dart pierces a painting on M's wall]
M : Oh, thank you, 007!
Q : Be careful, will you? Now, there's ten darts: five blue-tipped, with armour-piercing heads; five red-tipped, cyanide coated, causing death in thirty seconds.
James Bond : Very novel, Q. Must get them in the stores for Christmas. Good day, gentlemen!
-
[Holly and James are discussing how to destroy the death globes en route to Earth]
James Bond : Moonraker 5, that's the answer. Drax's shuttle is armed with a laser. We can track those globes and destroy them.
-
James Bond : Haven't we met somewhere before?
Dr. Holly Goodhead : The face is familiar.
[he touches her hand]
Dr. Holly Goodhead : As is the manner.
-
[last lines]
Dr. Holly Goodhead : James?
James Bond : I think it may be time to go home.
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Take me 'round the world one more time.
James Bond : Why not?
-
James Bond : Where did you learn to fight like that? NASA?
Dr. Holly Goodhead : No. Vassar.
-
Miss Moneypenny : Why James, you look like you've just fallen off a mountain.
James Bond : Funny you should say that, Moneypenny, actually I was in a cable car. It doesn't matter.
-
James Bond : Do you come with the suite?
Manuela : It depends who's renting it. Vodka martini? Shaken, not stirred.
-
Manuela : ...Drax has a warehouse on Carioca Avenue.
James Bond : I'd like to pay it a discreet visit tonight.
Manuela : Tonight? You may find that difficult.
James Bond : Difficult or no, it's still urgent. In the meanwhile, how do you kill five hours in Rio - if you don't Samba?
[starts to undress her]
-
James Bond : What exactly are you up to here, Drax? And why the orchids?
Hugo Drax : The curse of a civilization. It was neither war nor pestilence that wiped out the race who built the great city lying around us. It was their reverence for this lovely flower.
James Bond : Because long-term exposure to its pollen causes sterility.
Hugo Drax : Correct, Mr. Bond. As you discovered, I have improved upon sterility. Those same seeds now yield death. Not, of course, to animals or plant life; one must preserve the balance of nature.
James Bond : ...One more thing, Drax: You delivered a shuttle to the U.S. government, then you yourself hijacked it. Why?
Hugo Drax : Because I needed it. One of my own Moonrakers developed a fault during assembly.
-
James Bond : [flying over Moonraker's expansive production facilities] Well, I'd heard that Hugo Drax is obsessed with the conquest of space. Now I can believe it.
James Bond : [looks up and is shocked to see an enormous chalet] Good Lord!
Corinne : The Drax residence. Every stone brought from France. Cute, isn't it?
James Bond : Magnificent. Why didn't he buy the Eiffel Tower as well?
Corinne : He did, but the French government refused him an export permit.
-
Pilot Private Jet : This is where we leave you, Mr Bond.
James Bond : A little premature isn't it?
-
Hugo Drax : You have arrived at a propitious moment, coincident with your country's one indisputable contribution to Western Civilization: Afternoon tea. May I press you to a cucumber sandwich?
James Bond : Thank you, no, nothing at all.
-
Dr. Holly Goodhead : This evening I'm giving my address.
James Bond : Then can you think of a reason why we can't go for a drink afterwards?
Dr. Holly Goodhead : Not immediately. But I'm sure I shall.
-
James Bond : [after blowing a hole in the vent with his watch] Bang on time!
-
M : Moneypenny, is 007 back from that African job?
Miss Moneypenny : He's on his last leg, sir.
[smash-cut to Bond caressing a stewardess' thigh, his hand pushing her skirt up toward her underwear]
Hostess Private Jet : Any higher, Mr. Bond, and my ears will pop.
James Bond : I don't think I'm ever going to fly with anybody else.
Hostess Private Jet : That's right, Mr. Bond.
[she pulls a gun on him]
-
Rio de Janeiro Hotel Manager : The President's Suite
[Hotel Manager dangles the keys with a flourish]
James Bond : Really? Well don't bother showing me the rest. If I get lost, I'll take a cab
[Hotel Manager rolls his eyes and leaves]
