You Only Live Twice Page #2

Synopsis: When an American space capsule is swallowed up by what they believe to be a Russian spaceship, World War 3 nearly breaks out. The British Government, however, suspect that other powers are at work as the space craft went down near Japan. S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is the force behind the theft, as James Bond discovers, but its motives are far from clear, and he must first find out where the captured space capsule is held before America and Russia initiate another world war.

That's what you've gotta find out fast,

before the real shooting starts.

This damn thing could blow up

into a full-scale war.

When you get to Tokyo,

go to that name and address.

Our man Henderson

will contact you there.

Captain here.

We're underway. Full ahead.

Right.

- Well, that's all.

- Thank you, sir.

- 007.

- Sir?

We've only three weeks before

the Americans launch the next one.

- You know that, don't you?

- Yes, sir.

My sources tell me the Russians

are planning one earlier than that.

So move fast, 007.

Yes, sir.

By the way, how was the girl?

Which girl?

The Chinese one

we fixed you up with.

Another five minutes,

I would've found out.

She'll never know what she missed.

Miss Moneypenny.

Give 007 the password

we've agreed with Japanese S.I.S.

Yes, sir.

We tried to think of something

that you wouldn't forget.

Yes?

"I love you."

Repeat it, please,

to make sure you get it.

Don't worry. I get it.

James. Good luck.

Instant Japanese. You may need it.

You forget I took a first

in Oriental languages at Cambridge.

Stand by to load.

Good to launch.

Tube readied.

Out cab open.

Fire!

This is your ticket.

Thank you.

I love you.

I have a car nearby.

Where do you suggest we go?

I know a quiet hotel.

And?

Where your friend is waiting.

Mr. Henderson.

Wasn't Mr. Henderson

able to come himself?

- I suppose not.

- Why?

He didn't say.

Well, I think it's about hotel time.

How long have you been working

for Henderson?

Long enough to learn not to discuss

such matters with strangers.

- Mr. Henderson's waiting for you.

- You're not coming in with me?

Mr. Henderson

would like to see you alone.

Do come in.

Mr. Henderson?

At your service.

I believe you wanted

to ask me some questions.

Yes. Excuse me.

- Thank you.

- I'm glad you got it right.

I lost that in Singapore in '42.

You must excuse this

rather odd mixture of styles...

...but I refuse to go

entirely Japanese.

I'm very fond

of some of these old things.

You've never been to Japan before,

have you?

No, never.

I myself have lived here for...

...28 years...

...and I'm just beginning

to know my way about.

Your most vital contact

will be Tanaka.

He's head of

the Japanese Secret Service...

...and his identity is the most

closely guarded secret in Japan.

When can I see him?

- You can see Tiger tonight.

- Tiger?

His closest friends

are permitted to call him that.

- Do you have any leads of your own?

- Yes, I do.

That's stirred, not shaken.

That was right, wasn't it?

Perfect.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

Russian vodka. Well done.

I get it from the doorman

at the Russian embassy...

...amongst certain other things.

Now, look.

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl (English: , Norwegian: [ˈruːɑl ˈdɑːl]; 13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990) was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter, and fighter pilot. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide.Born in Wales to Norwegian immigrant parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. He became a flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander. He rose to prominence as a writer in the 1940s with works for both children and adults, and he became one of the world's best-selling authors. He has been referred to as "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century". His awards for contribution to literature include the 1983 World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, and the British Book Awards' Children's Author of the Year in 1990. In 2008, The Times placed Dahl 16th on its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".Dahl's short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children's books for their unsentimental, macabre, often darkly comic mood, featuring villainous adult enemies of the child characters. His books champion the kindhearted, and feature an underlying warm sentiment. Dahl's works for children include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox, The BFG, The Twits and George's Marvellous Medicine. His adult works include Tales of the Unexpected. more…
