- 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.
- M: Do you know what this is?
- James Bond: Why, it looks like a Fabergé egg, sir. One of the jeweled eggs made by Carl Fabergé as an Easter gift to the Russian royal family. They're priceless and very rare. This one contains a model of the imperial stage coach.
- M: Top marks, 007.
- James Bond: Thank you, sir.
- M: Except - it's a fake.
- M: Eyes only, 007. Operation Trove. You'll be replacing 009. He turned up dead in East Germany with that egg in his hand.
