Secret Agent Fireball (1965)

Jean Ozenne: Fleming's Boss

Quotes 

• Fleming's Boss : When you arrive in Beirut, one of our people will meet you at the airport. He will challenge you by saying, "Here in Beirut, the weather's bad." Your answer is, "I sell umbrellas."

• Fleming's Boss : Take this.

  Bob Fleming : Huh. Does it write underwater?

  Fleming's Boss : This is the latest electronic gadget. We had it designed for the detection of certain microwave frequencies. And this is the world's smallest generator of laser beams. You can use it to open the door of a safe, without wasting time. Watch this.

  [the beam melts a mounted pocket watch] 

  Bob Fleming : Whew!

  Fleming's Boss : Put that in your pocket, too.

• Fleming's Boss : In each one of these aspirin is a microtransmitter, which only starts functioning when it comes into contact with the acids in the stomach. Look them over. And this is the receiver.

  [shows Bob a Norexa wristwatch] 

  Fleming's Boss : It picks up the microwaves, up to ten miles. Look: the small dials are range and direction finders. The one on the right shows the distance from the transmitter, and the one on the left gives you the bearing. The aspirin are otherwise normal. They can even be taken for a headache if anyone happens to have one.

  Bob Fleming : That's good. Because I think the Russians are gonna have a lot of headaches.

  Fleming's Boss : That depends on you.

• Fleming's Boss : What I want to know is who's Grune? He might be the key to everything. And don't you dare come back if you let the Russians get their dirty hands on that microfilm.

  Bob Fleming : Otherwise, I have a free hand?

  Fleming's Boss : Yes, with unlimited expenses, and permission to kill.
