• Blofeld : ...You made a mistake, my friend. No astronaut would enter the capsule carrying his air conditioner. Let's see who he is.

  [the guards remove 007's helmet] 

  Blofeld : James Bond. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernst Stavro Blofeld. They told me you were assassinated in Hong Kong.

  James Bond : Yes, this is my second life.

  Blofeld : You only live twice, Mr. Bond.

  James Bond : [DELETED LINE]  Well, they say twice is the only way to live.

• Blofeld : The firing power inside my crater is enough to annihilate a small army. You can watch it all on TV. It's the last program you're likely to see.

  James Bond : Well, if I'm gonna be forced to watch television, may I smoke?

  Blofeld : Yes. Give him his cigarettes. It won't be the nicotine that kills you, Mr. Bond.

• Blofeld : I shall look forward personally to exterminating you, Mr. Bond.

• Blofeld : Goodbye, Mr. Bond!

• Blofeld : [shows the x-ray of the PPK to Osato & Brandt]  Only one person we know uses this sort of gun. James Bond.

  Mr. Osato : But Bond is dead!

  Helga Brandt : It was in all the newspapers!

  Blofeld : Rubbish. Bond is alive. Unless you killed him, Mr. Osato. Don't tell me you let him go.

  Mr. Osato : I gave Number 11 the strictest orders to eliminate him.

  Blofeld : And did she?

  Mr. Osato : She failed.

  Helga Brandt : [to Osato]  *You* should have killed him yourself. You had plenty of opportunities...

  Blofeld : This organization does not tolerate failure.

  Mr. Osato : I know, but do you see I...

  Blofeld : Go!

  [Osato crosses the bridge over the water where the piranhas are waiting] 

  Blofeld : [addressing Helga]  Well.

  [Helga starts across. Blofeld hits a pedal that causes the bridge bottom to drop out, sending Helga into the piranha-filled water. The lethal fish immediately converge on her and she is dead in seconds. Osato looks on in horror] 

  Blofeld : [addressing Osato]  Kill Bond! Now!

  Mr. Osato : Yes, Number One! Yes. Yes, yes.

• Blofeld : You will see that my piranha fish get very hungry. They can strip a man to the bone in 30 seconds. I have decided to ask for a little money in advance. I want the sum of 100 million dollars in gold bullion deposited in our account in Buenos Aires.

  Blofeld's Financier : Our agreement states quite clearly that no money should be paid until war has broken out between Russia and the United States.

  Financier #2 : This is extortion!

  Blofeld : [shows his SPECTRE ring]  Extortion is my business. Go and think it over, gentlemen. I'm busy.

• Blofeld : As you can see, I am about to inaugurate a little war. In a matter of hours after America and Russia have annihilated each other. We shall see a new power dominating the world.

• Blofeld : I shall be in my apartment.

• Blofeld : We are now impregnable. Interception will take place in eight minutes. Nothing can prevent that.

• Blofeld : Hans, our job will soon be done. Blow them up as soon as they have captured the Americans. Here is the key. To operate the exploder button...
