[edit] Dialogue
- James Bond: I'm alone.
- Alec Trevelyan: [revealing himself] Aren't we all? You're late, 007.
- James Bond: I had to stop in the bathroom.
- Alec Trevelyan: Ready to save the world again?
- James Bond: After you, 006.
- [006 and 007 enter the room they are about to blow up in the Chemical Weapons Facility.]
- Bond: It's too easy.
- Trevelyan: Half of everything is luck, James.
- Bond: And the other half?
- Trevelyan: [sets off the alarm] Fate.
- [USSR Soldiers are about to break into the Chemical Plant room]
- Trevelyan: Closing time, James! Last call!
- Bond: Buy me a pint!
- Moneypenny: [When Bond asks why she is so well dressed] I was on a date, if you must know, with a gentleman. We went to the theatre together.
- Bond: Moneypenny, I'm devastated. Whatever would I do without you?
- Moneypenny: As far as I can remember, James, you've never had me.
- Bond: Hope springs eternal.
- Moneypenny: You know, this sort of behaviour could qualify as sexual harassment.
- Bond: Really? What's the penalty for that?
- Moneypenny: Someday you have to make good on your innuendos.
- Bond: Are these pictures live?
- M: Unlike the American government, we prefer not to get our bad news from CNN.
- M: You don't like me, Bond. You don't like my methods. You think I'm an accountant, a bean counter more interested in my numbers than your instincts.
- Bond: The thought had occurred to me.
- M: Good. Because I think you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War, whose boyish charms, though lost on me, obviously appealed to that young girl I sent out to evaluate you.
- Bond: Point taken.
- M: Not quite, 007. If you think I don't have the balls to send a man out to die, your instincts are dead wrong. I've no compunction about sending you to your death. But I won't do it on a whim. Even with your cavalier attitude towards life. I want you to find GoldenEye, find out who took and what they plan to do with it, and stop it. And if you should come across Ourumov, guilty or not, I don't want you running off on some vendetta. Avenging Alec Trevelyan will not bring him back.
- Bond: You didn't get him killed.
- M: Neither did you. Don't make it personal.
- Bond: Never. [turns to leave]
- M: Bond.
- [Bond stop and turns to her]
- M: Come back alive.
- [Bond visits Q in his lab. Q is in a wheelchair, his left leg raised horizontally, wrapped in a cast.]
- Bond: Morning, Q. Sorry about the leg. Skiing?
- [A rocket shoots out of the cast, blasting against a wall on the other side of the lab.]
- Q: Hunting!
- [After the dummy gets blown up by the exploding pen]
- Q: Don't say it!
- Bond: The writing's on the wall?
- Q: [laughing] Along with the rest of him.
- [Bond approaches his CIA contact, Jack Wade]
- Bond: In London, April's a spring month.
- Wade: Oh yeah? And what are you, the weatherman? For crying out loud, another stiff-assed Brit with your secret codes and your passwords. One of these days you guys are learn just to drop it. Come on, my car's over here.
- [They go to the car, and Bond hands Wade the bags]'
- Bond: After you.
- Wade: Thank you.
- [Suddenly, Bond pulls a gun on Wade, who tries to go for his]
- Bond: Like you said... drop it.
- Wade: [exasperated] All right, in London, April's a spring month, whereas in St. Petersburg we're freezing our butts off! Is that close enough for government work?
- Bond: No. Show me the rose.
- Wade: Oh please, no...
- [Bond presses the gun closer]
- Wade: All right...
- [Wade takes down his pants to reveal a tattoo of a rose and the name "Muffy" on his right cheek]
- Bond: "Muffy"?
- Wade: Third wife. [puts out his hand] Jack Wade, CIA.
- Bond: [shakes it] James Bond, stiff-assed Brit.
- [Zukovsky hears the click of Bond's gun.]
- Zukovsky: Walther PPK, 7.65 millimetre. Only three men I know use such a gun... I believe I've killed two of them.
- Bond: Lucky me.
- [Another man cocks his gun and puts it to Bond's head.]
- Zukovsky: I think not.
- [Bond has just discovered that "Janus" is none other than Trevelyan]
- Trevelyan: What's the matter, James? No pithy comeback?
- Bond: [stunned] Why?
- Trevelyan: Hilarious question, especially coming from you. Did you ever ask why? Why we toppled all those dictators, undermined all those regimes? Only to come home and hear, "Well done, but sorry, old boy, everything you risked your life and limb for has changed."
- James Bond: It was the job we were chosen for.
- Trevelyan: [scoffs] Of course you would say that. James Bond, Her Majesty's loyal terrier, defender pof the so-called faith. [Bond draws his gun] Oh, please, James, put it away. It's insulting that you think I haven't anticipated your every move.
- [Bond slowly lowers his weapon]
- James Bond': I trusted you, Alec.
- Trevelyan: Trust — what a quaint idea.
- James Bond: How did MI6's screening process miss that your parents were Lienz Cossacks?
- Trevelyan: Once again, your faith it misplaced. They knew. We're both orphans, James. But whereas your parents had the luxury of dying in a climbing accident, mine survived the British betrayal and Stalin's execution squads... but my father couldn't let himself or his wife live with the shame of it. MI6 figured I was too young to remember... and in one of life's little ironies, the son went to work for the government whose betrayal caused the father to kill himself and his wife.
- James Bond: Hence "Janus", the two-faced Roman god come to life.
- Trevelyan: [gestures to his scars] It wasn't God who gave me this face. It was you, setting the timers for three minutes instead of six.
- James Bond: Am I supposed to feel sorry for you?
- Trevelyan: No. You were supposed to die for me. By the way, I did think of asking you to join my little scheme, but somehow I knew that 007's loyalty was always to the mission — never to his friend. Closing time, James. Last call.
- [Bond and Natalya are being interrogated by Mishkin.]
- Mishkin: Good morning! So, by what means shall we execute you?
- Bond: No small talk? No chit-chat? [to Natalya] That's the trouble with the world today. No one takes the time to do a really sinister interrogation any more. [to Mishkin] It's a lost art!
- [Bond has just told Ourumov that Trevelyan is a Lienz Cossack and hence untrustworthy.]
- Ourumov: Is this true?
- Trevelyan: [impatiently] What's true is that in 48 hours, you and I are going to have more money than God. And Mr. Bond here will have a small memorial service, with only Moneypenny and a few tearful restauranteurs in attendance.
- Trevelyan: [over the radio] I set the timers for six minutes. The same six minutes you gave me. [laughs]
- Natalya: What does that mean?
- Bond: We've got three minutes.
- [Trevelyan has just explained his plan to bankrupt all of England]
- James Bond: A worldwide financial meltdown... and all so mad little Alec can settle a score with the world 50 years on.
- Trevelyan: Oh please, James, spare me the Freud! I might as well ask if all those vodka martinis silence the screams of the men you've killed. Or if you find forgiveness in the arms of all those willing women... for all the dead ones you failed to protect.
- [Bond is holding Trevelyan by his foot on top of the satellite antenna.]
- Trevelyan: For England, James?
- Bond: No. For me. [lets Trevelyan fall to his death]
