[last lines]
James Bond : [Getting into bed] Now, where were we?
[Embrace and Kiss]
Goodnight : Oh, James! Mmmm!
[Bond sees a phone rising up on the nightstand]
Goodnight : What's the matter?
James Bond : Something came up.
[Bond picks up phone]
James Bond : Hello?
M : [Speaking over the phone] Ah, there you are, Bond. Well done, congratulations.
James Bond : Thank you, sir.
M : Is Miss Goodnight with you? I'd like a word with her.
James Bond : Hold on, sir.
[Bond sets phone down and goes back to kissing Goodnight]
M : Bond? Bond, are you there? Goodnight?
James Bond : [Bond picks up the phone] She's just coming, sir.
[Bond sets phone back down]
M : Goodnight?
Goodnight : [In the background] Mmmm.
M : Goodnight. Goodnight!

[M stares in shock as Bond relays news of his foul-up]
James Bond : And that is really all there is to report, sir.
M : So if I heard correctly, Scaramanga got away - in a car that sprouted wings!
Q : Oh, that's perfectly feasible, sir. As a matter of fact, we're working on one now.
M : Oh, Q, shut up! Miss Goodnight was in the boot.
James Bond : Yes, sir. We found the carplane abandonned about two hundred miles west of Bangkok.
M : And the Solex?
Lieutenant Hip : In Goodnight's handbag, sir.
M : [shakes head] Where's Miss Goodnight now?
James Bond : Well, we don't know sir. Communications aren't picking up the signal from the homer she was supplied by Q.
Q : [indignantly] Rubbish! They're simply not stepping up the reception sufficiently to enable...
M : [cuts him off] Oh, shut up! Of all the fouled-up, half-witted operations...

James Bond : Scaramanga does not have any contract out on me. He couldn't have missed me tonight. Instead, he hit some chap coming out of the club. I got quite a shock when I saw who it was.
M : I should think you did.
James Bond : Our missing solar-energy expert, Gibson.
M : Yes, Gibson! He was prepared to come back, under special terms. That's why I'm out here with Professor Frazier. I almost wish that Scaramanga had a contract out on you.

M : What do you know about a man called Scaramanga, 007?
James Bond : Scaramanga? Oh, yes! The man with the golden gun. Born in the circus. Father - the Ringmaster, possibly Cuban. Mother - English, a snake charmer. He was a spectacular trick shot artist by the time he was ten and a local Rio gunman at fifteen. The KGB recruited him there and trained him in Europe where he became an - overworked, underpaid assassin. He went independent in the late '50s. Current price: one million dollars a hit. No photograph on file. But, he does have one distinguishing feature, however, a superfluous papilla.
M : A what?
James Bond : A mammary gland. A third nipple, sir. He uses a golden bullet, hence man with the golden gun. Present domicile - unknown.
-
James Bond : [examining one of Scaramanga's golden bullets] Charming trinket. Even has my number on it.
M : Precisely.
James Bond : Well, obviously it's useless as a bullet. I mean, Sir, who would pay a million dollars to have me killed?
M : Jealous husbands, outraged chefs, humiliated tailors. The list is endless!
-
M : I'm relieving you of your present assignment, 007.
James Bond : Sir, the energy crisis is still with us. I respectfully submit that finding Gibson and his solar cell data is even more important than ever.
M : It is in deed. And I can't jeopardize it... by having Scaramanga pop up and put a bullet in you.
