You Only Live Twice Page #4

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.

- Can we see the photograph again?

- Of course.

So they killed an innocent tourist

for taking this?

Can you make it bigger?

Ning-Po.

Check motor vessel Ning-Po,

full details.

All recent movements

and present whereabouts.

- What's that on the left?

- Focus on the left.

- Diving girls.

- Can you identify that coastline?

Given time, yes.

- Who is the head of Osato Chemicals?

- Mr. Osato.

Can you arrange an appointment

with him tomorrow?

Of course. But tonight,

consider my house yours...

...including all of my possessions,

naturally.

My friend, now you take

your first civilized bath.

Really? I like the plumbing.

Place yourself entirely

in their hands.

Rule number one is

never do anything for yourself...

...when someone else

can do it for you.

- And number two?

- Rule number two?

In Japan, men always come first.

Women come second.

I might just retire to here.

Your English girls would

never perform this simple service.

I think I know one or two

who might get around to it.

Miss Moneypenny, perhaps?

We have our sources, just like you.

Don't get the soap in my eye,

will you?

I suppose you know what it is

about you that fascinates them.

It's the hair on your chest.

Japanese men...

...all have beautiful bare skin.

Japanese proverb say:

Bird never make nest in bare tree.

If Henderson's theory is right...

...why would a foreign power

want to launch missiles from Japan?

Because if ever they were discovered,

they could deny all responsibility...

...especially if some private

organization's doing the work.

- Osato?

- Perhaps.

Mr. Osato is one of

the greatest industrialists in Japan.

- He's merely a front.

- Who is big enough?

- SPECTRE.

- Could be.

Now, massage.

Which girl do you select?

I'll just settle for this little lady.

Good choice.

She's very "sexyful."

The last time someone gave me

a massage was in Hong Kong.

But unfortunately,

we had to cut it short.

We were rudely interrupted

by a couple of gunmen.

So we never got around

to finishing it.

This time, you shall finish it.

Aki.

No one will disturb you tonight.

I think I will enjoy very much

serving under you.

Mr. Fisher? This way, please.

Thank you.

Please come in, Mr. Fisher.

Mr. Osato is expecting you.

Thank you.

You are three and a half minutes early.

Please be seated.

- How do you do, Mr. Fisher?

- How do you do?

Miss Brandt,

my confidential secretary.

- Hello.

- Hello.

May we offer you

a glass of champagne?

No, thank you. It's too early for me.

- You're quite sure?

- Quite sure.

I always take a glass in the morning.

- You should try it.

- Isn't it bad for your liver?

Nonsense.

It adds a sparkle to the day.

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…
