James Bond
- James Bond: [looking at the tattoo on Magda's back] Forgive my curiosity, but, what is that?
- Magda: That's my little octopussy.
- James Bond: [Q's mechanized version of the "Indian Rope Trick" malfunctions] Having problems keeping it up, Q?
- Q: Experimental model!
- [Bond and Q are floating in a hot air balloon]
- James Bond: I trust you can handle this contraption, Q?
- Q: It goes by hot air.
- James Bond: Oh, then you can.
- [Confronting James Bond]
- Kamal Khan: You have a nasty habit of surviving.
- James Bond: You know what they say about the fittest.
- James Bond: [bad guys are chasing Bond and Vijay] Vijay, we've got company!
- Vijay: No problem, this is a company car.
- [the unlikely-looking Tuk-Tuk 'rickshaw cab' accelerates through the crowd on its back wheels]
- Magda: I guess this is good night.
- James Bond: I could come in for a nightcap.
- [Gobinda puts a hand in front of Magda's door]
- James Bond: Some other time perhaps.
- James Bond: [Gobinda walks Bond back to his room] I don't suppose you'd care for a nightcap?
- [Twin Two throws several knives at Bond, which pass through his clothes, pinning him to a cabin door]
- Twin Two: [draws another knife] And this... for my brother...
- [Bond plucks one of the knives from the door, and throws it at Twin Two, hitting him fatally in his stomach]
- James Bond: And that's for 009!
- Q: [Q is demonstrating a pen filled with acid] Dissolves all metals.
- James Bond: Wonderful for poison pen letters...
- Q: Pay attention, 007!
- Jim Fanning: [after Bond bids for the egg] Have you gone mad?
- James Bond: Let's see how badly he wants it.
- Octopussy: When Father's gold ran out, the people in Hong Kong who'd disposed of it for him offered me a commission to smuggle some diamonds. I discovered I had a talent for it.
- James Bond: You went into business for yourself?
- Octopussy: Yes, but l needed an organization, so l revived the old Octopus cult.
- James Bond: Well, then. Where did you recruit all these lovelies?
- Octopussy: There are many of them all over Southeast Asia, looking for a guru, spiritual discipline, who knows what. l train them. Give them a purpose, a sisterhood and a way of life.
- James Bond: In crime?
- Octopussy: In business. I have diversified into shipping, hotels, carnivals and circuses.
- [first lines]
- James Bond: You didn't tell me there was going to be this much security.
- Bianca: They moved the flight up to this afternoon.
- James Bond: Well, we're going to have to go ahead as planned anyway.
- [Bianca hands an ID badge with the name 'Luis Toro' to Bond]
- James Bond: Toro. Sounds like a load of bull.
- Vijay: [Tells Bond about Kamal's doings, and says that he, too, plays cricket] As a matter of fact, I've got a part-time job as a pro at Kamal's club.
- James Bond: What have you learned so far?
- Vijay: Well, my backhand's improving.
- [Bond is dragged from a river onto a tour boat]
- Woman on Tour Boat: Are you with our group?
- James Bond: No, ma'am, I'm with the economy tour!
- Front Desk Clerk: I hope you have a pleasant stay.
- [Bond eyes a bikini clad beauty nearby who smiles at him]
- James Bond: I'm, ah, sure I will.
- James Bond: [handing a wad of Indian cash to his accomplice] That should keep you in curry for a few weeks.
- M: You had no business bidding for that egg! What would you have done if you'd had been stuck with it?
- James Bond: Then I would have claimed it was a fake, sir... and not paid.
- M: Not paid?
- James Bond: Here is the real one. I swiped it with the fake at the auction.
- M: Good God. And what happens when the buyer discovers this?
- James Bond: He complains.
- M: Well?
- James Bond: I don't think he will complain. According to Fanning, this Kamal usually sells. Now he buys. I think the fake will smoke him out. I had a tail follow him to Heathrow, where he caught a plane to Delhi.
- M: You must go there, too. I'll have Sadruddin, our man at Station I, there to assist you.
- James Bond: Yes, well, I have exactly 35 minutes to catch that plane.
- M: Oh, Bond... sign a chit for that egg on your way out... it's government property now.
