Quotes
-
Octopussy : A paid assassin.
James Bond : When I kill it is on the specific orders of my Government.
-
Octopussy : [Bond sneaks on to the island and makes his way into Octopussy's room] Good evening. I wondered when you might arrive.
James Bond : So you are the mysterious Octopussy.
Octopussy : And you are James Bond, 007, licensed to kill. Am l to be your target for tonight?
James Bond : Oh no, not necessarily. Depends how much you tell me about jewelry smuggling. And why one of our agents was killed in East Berlin.
Octopussy : I know nothing about that. You remember Major Dexter Smythe? You were sent out to arrest him, weren't you?
James Bond : You seem to have done your homework.
James Bond : [Octopussy hands Bond a drink] Thank you.
James Bond : Yes. Smythe, after a brilliant military career, was seconded to our secret service. His mission was to recover a cache of Chinese gold seized in North Korea. Both he and his native guide disappeared. The gold was never found.
Octopussy : And 20 years later you were sent after him.
James Bond : Well, the guide's body turned up with a bullet still in his skull from Smythe's service revolver. I traced Smythe to Sri Lanka, faced him with the facts, and gave him 24 hours to clear up his affairs before I took him back.
Octopussy : He committed suicide rather than face the disgrace of a court martial.
James Bond : What's the connection?
Octopussy : He was my father. I'd hoped fate would bring us together one day.
James Bond : To avenge him?
Octopussy : No, to thank you for giving him an honorable alternative.
-
Octopussy : Who is he?
Kamal Kahn : Englishman. Likes eggs, preferably Fabergé, and dice, preferably loaded.
-
Octopussy : Good evening. I wondered when you might arrive.
James Bond : So you are the mysterious Octopussy.
Octopussy : And you are James Bond, 007, Licensed to Kill. Am I to be your target tonight?
-
Octopussy : Mr. Bond, smuggling is no concern of the Secret Service. I've violated no British law. You're free to leave; but, I'd much rather prefer if you'd stay as my guest for a few days.
James Bond : I'd like that.
-
Octopussy : [James embraces and kisses Octopussy] No!
James Bond : You're right, we are two of a kind.
[Kiss]
Octopussy : Oh - James!
-
Kamal Khan : His name is James Bond.
Octopussy : Bring him here.
Kamal Khan : He's dangerous. After he's talked, we must get rid of him immediately.
Octopussy : No.
Kamal Khan : A ''no'' from you has little chance of becoming a ''yes''. l assume, therefore, that the meeting is over. But you're making a serious mistake.
-
Octopussy : When Father's gold ran out, the people in Hong Kong who'd disposed of it for him offered me a commission to smuggle some diamonds. I discovered I had a talent for it.
James Bond : You went into business for yourself?
Octopussy : Yes, but l needed an organization, so l revived the old Octopus cult.
James Bond : Well, then. Where did you recruit all these lovelies?
Octopussy : There are many of them all over Southeast Asia, looking for a guru, spiritual discipline, who knows what. l train them. Give them a purpose, a sisterhood and a way of life.
James Bond : In crime?
Octopussy : In business. I have diversified into shipping, hotels, carnivals and circuses.

[Bond is in traction]
Octopussy : I wish...
James Bond : What?
Octopussy : I wish you weren't in such a weakened condition.
[Bond releases himself from traction]
Octopussy : Oh, James.
[Bond kisses Octopussy passionately]
Octopussy : James!
-
Kamal Khan : Octopussy, I would enjoy another opportunity to take care of Mr. Bond, personally.
Octopussy : I will take care of Mr. Bond, myself.
Kamal Khan : Good night. And, enjoy yourself, Mr. Bond.
-
Octopussy : Is something wrong?
James Bond : Not really. Just a feeling.
Octopussy : Why don't you come back to bed.
-
Octopussy : Oh, a man of principle - with a price on his head. Naturally you do it for Queen and Country. I have no country. I have no price on my head!
