• James Bond : [a device closes; cocks gun]  So you lived to die another day... Colonel.

  Gustav Graves : At last... I was beginning to think you would never guess.

  James Bond : Was it painful? The gene therapy.

  Gustav Graves : You couldn't possibly imagine.

  James Bond : Oh, good. I'm glad to hear that.

  Gustav Graves : But there have been compensations, like you floating around in peril. Granting you life day by day just to see you get wise. It's been fun.

  James Bond : Well, the fun is about to come to a dead end.

• [Graves and Bond are fighting in a depressurizing plane] 

  Gustav Graves : You see, Mr. Bond, you can't kill my dreams. But my dreams can kill you. Time to face destiny.

  [James pulls Graves' parachute cord] 

  James Bond : Time to face gravity.

• Gustav Graves : [Spoiler Quote] 

  [Miranda point her gun at Graves] 

  Gustav Graves : So... Miss Frost is not all she seems.

  James Bond : Looks can be deceptive.

  Gustav Graves : Yes. By the way, did you find out who betrayed you in North Korea?

  James Bond : Only a matter of time.

  Gustav Graves : You never even thought of looking inside your own organization?

  [Miranda turns against MI6 by pointing the gun at James] 

  Gustav Graves : She was right under your nose.

  Miranda Frost : [James shoots, but his gun is empty]  It was so good of you to bring your gun in bed with us.

  James Bond : Yes. Occupational hazard.

  [throws the empty pistol on the floor] 

  Gustav Graves : You see, I have a gift. An instinct for sensing people's weaknesses. Yours is women. Hers and mine are winning, whatever the cost. So when I arranged for that fatal overdose for the true victor at Sydney, I won myself my very own MI6 agent, using everthing at my disposal - her brains, her talent, even her sex.

  James Bond : The coldest weapon of all.

• James Bond : I see you don't chase dreams, you live them.

  Gustav Graves : One of the virtues of never sleeping, Mr. Bond. I have to live my dreams. Besides, plenty of time to sleep when you're dead.

• Gustav Graves : We only met briefly, but you left a lasting impression. You see, when your intervention forced me to present the world with a new face, I chose to model the disgusting Gustav Graves on you. Oh, just in the details - that unjustifiable swagger, the crass quips, the self-defence mechanism concealing such inadequacy...

  James Bond : [holding up his Walther P99]  My self-defence mechanism's right here.

• General Moon : I don't know you.

  Gustav Graves : You always found it difficult to accept me. That made my exile easier to bear, but, I never forgot what you taught me: In war, the victorious strategist only seeks battle...

  General Moon , Gustav Graves : After the victory has been won.

  Gustav Graves : You see, father, I remember my Art of War.

• Gustav Graves : You only get one shot at life. Why waste it on sleep?

• Gustav Graves : The pleasure of the kill is in the chase.

• Gustav Graves : [fencing with Bond]  Since you've upped the stakes, let's up the weapons, shall we? Let's do this the old-fashioned way - first blood drawn from the torso!

  [He grabs two swords and throws one to Bond] 

• Reporter : We've been hearing rumors about the Icarus space program. What's the big secret?

  Gustav Graves : It's not a secret, it's a surprise.

• Gustav Graves : What a wonderful day to become a knight.

• Reporter : After an entrance like that you can't be surprised you've been called a self-publicizing adrenaline junkie, can you?

  Gustav Graves : I prefer the term adventurer.

• Gustav Graves : He died chasing a dream. Isn't that the way to go?

  James Bond : I'd rather not go at all.

• Gustav Graves : Look, parachutes for the both of us!

  [throws one out the window] 

  Gustav Graves : Whoops. Not anymore!

• Reporter : Are you going to try out for the British fencing team? We hear you have been training furiously.

  Gustav Graves : I never get furious. As we say in fencing, "What's the point?"

• Gustav Graves : And Mr.?

  James Bond : Bond. James Bond.

• Gustav Graves : Come father, watch the rising of your son.

• Gustav Graves : Glad you could make it, Mr. Bond. How did you like my run?

  James Bond : Like a man on the edge of losing control.

  Gustav Graves : It's only by being on the edge that we know who we really are, under the skin.

• Gustav Graves : Are you a gambling man Mr. Bond?

  James Bond : If the stakes are right.

• Gustav Graves : You have no idea how much Icarus is about to change your world.

• Gustav Graves : Armed and very dangerous.

• James Bond : There will be others after me. You know that.

  Gustav Graves : Oh, you mean your American friend Jinx? Soon to be the victim of a tragedy. An ice palace can be such a treacherous place.

• Gustav Graves : You're a rare challenge, Mr. Bond.

• Gustav Graves : Care to place a bet, Verity?

  Verity : No, thanks. I don't like cockfights.

• Gustav Graves : Time to draw the line.
