Quotes 

• Strawberry Fields : Mr. Bond, my name is Fields. I'm from the consulate.

  James Bond : Of course you are. And what do you do at the consulate Fields?

  Strawberry Fields : That's not important. My orders are to turn you around and put you on the first plane to London.

  James Bond : [Walking past her]  Do those orders include my friend Mathis?

  Strawberry Fields : [to Mathis]  I'm sorry, I don't know who you are.

  James Bond : [to Mathis]  You see? You've been gone for such a short time and you're already forgotten.

  Mathis : You're just saying that to hurt me.

  Strawberry Fields : [Following Bond out]  Mr. Bond, these orders come from the highest possible authority.

  James Bond : Taxi! Fields, when is the next flight to London?

  Strawberry Fields : Tomorrow morning.

  James Bond : Well then, we have all night.

  Strawberry Fields : If you attempt to flee I will arrest you, drop you off at the jail and take you to the plane in chains, understand?

  James Bond : [Opening the taxi door]  Perfectly. After you.

  Mathis : I think she has handcuffs.

  James Bond : I hope so.

• Mathis : [to Bond]  Vesper, she would give everything for you. Forgive her. Forgive yourself.

• Mathis : This man had me imprisoned and tortured and you want to serve him fine wine?

  Gemma : You only buy cheap wine. And since you were innocent, they bought you this villa. So really, you owe him, don't you?

  Mathis : Gemma, go work on your tan.

• Mathis : You can't sleep?

  Bartender on Virgin Flight : May I fix you a drink, Sir?

  Mathis : What are you drinking?

  James Bond : I don't know. What am I drinking?

  Bartender on Virgin Flight : Three measures of Gordon's Gin, One of Vodka, Half a measure of Kina...

  Mathis : Kina Lillet.

  Bartender on Virgin Flight : Kina Lillet, which is not Vermouth. Shaken well until it is ice cold and served with a large, thin slice of lemon peel. Six of them.

  Mathis : That's impressive.

  James Bond : They're good. You should have one.

• Mathis : When one's young, it seems very easy to distinguish between right and wrong. But, as one gets older, it becomes more difficult. The villains and the heroes get all mixed up.

• Mathis : I have pills for everything. Some make you taller... some make you forget.

• Mathis : [to James Bond]  I was sorry to hear about Vesper. I think she loved you.

• Mathis : [to Bond]  What do you want? Have you come to apologise?

• James Bond : I need some information.

  [Gives Mathis a stack of photographs] 

  Mathis : Oh, you have some hard friends. This man is some kind of facilitator. Fingers in many pies and they don't leave any prints.
