Dietary Advice from M to Bond
M
Too many free radicals. That's your problem.
James Bond
Free radicals," sir?
M
Yes. They're toxins that destroy the body and the brain, caused by eating too much red meat and white bread and too many dry martinis!
James Bond
Then I shall cut out the white bread, sir.
M
Oh, you'll do more than that, 007. From now on you will suffer a strict regimen of diet and exercise; we shall purge those toxins from you!
James Bond
Shrublands?
M
You got it!
SPECTRE's Ultimatum: Terrorism and Extortion Explained
Ernst Stavro Blofeld
I am the Supreme Commander of SPECTRE, Special Executive for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. Yesterday morning, the American Air Force launched two cruise missiles from Swadley Air Base in Great Britain. Through the ingenuity of SPECTRE, the dummy warheads they carried were replaced with live, nuclear warheads. Your weapons of destruction are now safely in our possession and will be moved to two secret targets. Please note the serial numbers of the missiles; they will confirm the truth. Your weapons of deterrence did not deter us from our objective! A terrible catastrophe now confronts you. However, it can be avoided by paying a tribute to our organization, amounting to twenty-five percent of your respective countries annual oil purchases. We have accomplished two of the functions that the name SPECTRE embodies: terrorism and extortion. If our demands are not met within seven days, we shall ruthlessly apply the third: revenge!

Only to plead for your return, sir. M says that without you in the service, he fears for the security of the civilized world.

Never again.
Domino Petachi
Never?

Bond's Encounter with a Confident Woman
Fatima Blush
Hold it! Sit up. Your gun. Carefully. Over here. Spread your legs. Good. Very good. You're quite a man, Mr. James Bond. But I am a superior woman. Guess where you get the first one.
[points her gun at Bond]
James Bond
Well, in view of your hatred of men...
Fatima Blush
LIAR! You know that making love to Fatima was the greatest pleasure of your life.
[enraged; normal]
James Bond
Well, to be perfectly honest, there was this girl in Philadelphia...
Fatima Blush
SHUT UP! I am the best.
James Bond
Yes. Yes, you're right. In fact, I was going to put you in my memoirs as...number one.
Fatima Blush
Write. Write. Now write this: "The greatest rapture in my life was afforded me in a boat in Nassau by Fatima Blush. Signed James Bond, 007".
[keeps pointing her gun at Bond and gives the newspaper to him; Bond takes the pen-gun out of his pocket]

Fatima Blush
WRITE!
James Bond
Right now?
Fatima Blush
Right now.
