In a matter of minutes, my plan will succeed, and, thanks largely to your efforts, the British Navy will destroy the evidence. And I'll be out of here, in a Carver news helicopter, covering the event. It's going to be a fantastic show!

Bond: It's the opportunities to travel that I like about banking.

Bond: You were pretty good with that hook.
Wai-Lin: Thanks. It comes from growing up in a rough neighbourhood. You were pretty good with the bike.
Bond: Thank you. It comes from not growing up at all.
