Franz Sanchez

[edit]
  • [Curious about Bond's appearance at the casino] Señor Bond, you got big cojones. You come here, to my place, without references, carrying a piece, throwing around a lot of money... but you should know something: nobody saw you come in, so nobody has to see you go out.
  • [About to put Bond in a cocaine grinder] When it gets up to your ankles, you're going to beg to tell me everything. When it gets up to your knees, you'll kiss my ass to kill you.

Dialogue

[edit]
Ed Killifer: You're facing 139 felony counts, Sanchez. Why that's 936 years. Even one of your famous $1-million-dollar bribes can't get you out of this one.
Franz Sanchez: Two.
Killifer: What?
Sanchez: Two million. U.S. Standing offer for anyone who squeaks me.
Killifer: Goddammit, you think you're in some banana republic?! All that scumbag money won't do you a bit of good here.
Sanchez: Very good, but I think I'm gonna be home soon, huh?
Killifer: Why you.....[attacks Sanchez before being restrained by his partner]
James Bond: [Walks into office, referring to computer] Switch that thing off, Felix. You have a house full of guests waiting.
Felix Leiter: Just let me save this. Take a seat. The department wants a full report... yesterday. We really hit it lucky today. Sanchez hasn't been out of his home base for years.
James Bond: Couldn't you extradite him?
Felix Leiter: He's killed, intimidated or bribed... half the officials from here to Chile. There's only one law down there, Sanchez's law. Plomo o plata.
James Bond: Lead or silver.
[M confronts James in Key West over his emotional response to what happened to Felix and Della as well as ignoring his assignment]
M: [Disappointed] You were supposed to be in Istanbul last night! I'm afraid this unfortunate Leiter business has, somehow... clouded your judgment. You have a job to do. I expect you on a plane this afternoon.
James Bond: I haven't finished here, sir.
M: Leave it to the Americans. It's their mess. Let them clean it up.
James Bond: Sir, they're not going to do anything! I owe it to Leiter. He's put his life on the line for me many times before.
M: [Cutting him off] Oh, spare me this sentimental rubbish! He knew the risks.
James Bond: And his wife?
M: This private vendetta of yours could easily compromise Her Majesty's Government. You have an assignment, and I expect you to carry it out objectively and professionally.
James Bond: [Refuses to let the matter go and chooses to resign instead] Then you have my resignation, sir.
M: [Shocked] We're not a country club, 007! Effective immediately, your licence to kill is revoked. And I require you to hand over your weapon. Now. I need hardly remind you that you're still bound by the Official Secrets Act.
James Bond: Then I guess it's... farewell to arms.
[James knocks the other agents and escapes before a nearby sniper and the other MI6 agent try to shoot Bond down, but M stops the agent]
M: Don't! Too many people! [M sees his best agent running away from MI6 in Key West and is shocked to see this] God help you, commander.
[Killifer is dangling on a rope over a shark tank]
Ed Killifer: There's $2 million in that suitcase. I'll split it with you.
James Bond: [Menacingly] You earned it. You keep it... old buddy.
[James throws the case at him, knocking Killifer into the water. A shark makes Killifer his next meal]
Sharkey: God, what a terrible waste. [Bond glares at Sharkey] Of money.
[James fins Q at his hotel room in Isthmus]
James Bond: This is no place for you, Q. Go home.
Q: Oh, don't be an idiot, 007. I know exactly what you're up to, and quite frankly, you're going to need my help. Remember, if it hadn't been for Q Branch, you'd have been dead long ago. [Opens a case] Everything for a man on holiday. Explosive alarm clock - guaranteed never to wake up anyone who uses it. Dentonite toothpaste - to be used sparingly, the latest in plastic explosive.
James Bond: I could do with some plastic.
[Kwang and his men, plus MI6 Agent Fallon, have captured James after he tried to kill Sanchez at his casino office]
Kwang: Who would have a signature gun?
Fallon: James Bond. [Examines the gun] This is the property of Her Majesty's Government. How did you get it?
James Bond: Piss off!
Kwang: Who ordered you to kill Sanchez?
Fallon: No one! He's a rogue agent. I've got orders to take him back one way or another.
James Bond: Who the hell are you people?!
Kwang: We're Hong Kong Narcotics, you bastard! [Grabs Bond] Sanchez is taking us to the heart of his operations. I've been setting it up for years! [Menacingly] I just hope that little stunt of yours hasn't scared him off!
[Sanchez's army is at the hideout]
James Bond: Get me out of these bloody things so I can deal with you.
Fallon: No, Commander. You're in no position to make deals. You're a loose cannon on deck. [Prepares syringe] I'm shipping you straight back to London.
[James struggles until Sanchez's army attacks]
Franz Sanchez: [To Asian clients in laboratory] You keep the gas... as a bonus. And if there's a problem with customs, [lights a lab beaker on fire to the amusement of the clients] no evidence.
Dario: [Referring to James in clutches] I know him! He's an informer!
Franz Sanchez: [Walking up to James] You disappoint me! Who are you working for? Huh? Tell me! You don't wanna talk?
Hiller: [From common area of facility up to supervisor bridge] I can get the trucks out, but I don't think I can control the fire!
Franz Sanchez: Forget the fire! Get some cars! We're gonna take the tankers with us!
Truman-Lodge: [About to walk away then walks up] Wait a minute! This setup cost us $2 million! We have to try and save it!
Franz Sanchez: I don't give a shit about the setup! We've got $500 million in the case and tons of Colombian pure in the tankers. Go help Heller!
Truman-Lodge: We have a deal with the Orientals! We've got their money!
Franz Sanchez: I said go help Heller! [To James] Now, do you wanna make this hard or easy? [To subordinate] Put him in the conveyor. [To James] When you're up to your ankles, you'll beg to tell me everything. When you're up to your knees, you'll kiss my ass to kill you.
James Bond: [Riding along conveyor belt with Felix kicking any hand of James holding on to rails] I'm the least of your problems! If you couldn't trust Krest, who can you trust?! Who's got your $500 million?! Truman-Lodge?! What about the Stingers!
Franz Sanchez: What do you know about Stingers?
Subordinate: [Runs up] We gotta go, patrón. This place'll blow up any second.
Franz Sanchez: Where's Heller?
Subordinate: I don't know. [Runs away]
James Bond: That's the last you'll see of Heller and your Stingers.
Franz Sanchez: [Walks away] Thanks for the advice.
Dario: [Attempting to kill James hanging over grinder machine and looks up at Pam] You're dead.
Pam Bouvier: You took the words out of my mouth! [Shoot him and he falls into grinder]
[A forklift bursts through wall with Hiller impaled on it]
Pam Bouvier: Oh, God, it's Hiller!
James Bond: Yeah. Looks like he came to a dead end.
[Bond has destroyed a tanker]
Truman-Lodge: Brilliant! Well done, Franz! Another $80 million write-off!
Franz Sanchez: Then I guess it's time to start cutting overhead. [Guns him down]
[James has destroyed all of Sanchez' tankers and has just emerged from the wreck of the last tanker]
Franz Sanchez: [Sets up to hack James by machete] You could have had everything!
James Bond: Don't you want to know why? [Briefly shows Sanchez his cigar lighter which says "James, love always. Della and Felix." James sets Sanchez on fire and escapes before the oil tanker explodes. He sees Pam driving a truck cab]
Pam Bouvier: What are you waiting for, get in!
James Bond: Yes, sir! [Gets in the truck and escapes with Pam]
[James is at the party having a phone call with Felix Leiter]
James Bond: I'll be up to see you next week.
Felix Leiter: Good. I'll be out by then. M called, he tried to reach you, I think he may have a job for you.
James Bond: [Sees Lupe] Look, Felix, I have to go, my, er, hostess has just arrived.
Leiter: Take care, James.
James Bond: You too. Goodbye.
[Last lines; James dives onto a pool to join Pam, who was distraught seeing him with Lupe]
Pam Bouvier: Why don't you wait until you're asked?
James Bond: So why don't you ask me?
