A Very Curious Thing, Snobbery.

SPECTRE is a dedicated fraternity 

whose strength lies in 

The Absolute Integrity of its Members.

[ He is clearly lying when he says this -- ]

My suggestion on (b) is that SPECTRE, short for Special Executive for Terrorism, Revolution and Espionage, is an immensely powerful organisation armed by ex-members of SMERSH, the Gestapo, the Mafia, and the Black Tong of Peking, which is placing these bombs in NATO bases with the objective of then blackmailing the Western powers for £100 million or else.

Ian Fleming: memo to Whittingham and McClory

My Dear Prime Minister, 

Two atomic bombs, numbers 456 and 457, which were aboard NATO flight 759, are now in the possession of SPECTRE.

Unless within the next seven days your government pays to us £100 million in a manner to be designated by us, we shall destroy a major city in England or the United States of America. 

Please signal your acceptance of our terms by arranging for Big Ben to strike seven times at 6:00 p.m. tomorrow. 

Ernst Stavro Blofeld :

A grave deep enough, I think, 

to prevent even 007 from walking. 

Get The Girl. 

Miss Moneypenny :

United Nations, sir. 

Red scrambler. 

M :

M, here. 

Yes, we're standing by as instructed. 

I understand. 

Thank you, sir. 

No decision has been announced yet. 

Of course, there's a total news blackout, but my informant was very plain. 

How plain, sir? 

M :

They're going to buy Blofeld off. 

Sit down. 

007 :

And The Price?

M :

Amnesty. 

A Full Pardon for all Past Crimes. 

Official Recognition of his title 

when he retires into Private Life as 

Count de Bleuchamp. 

He seems to set a great store by that. 

A very curious thing, snobbery.
