  Fleming : Like stepping on an angry cobra... Mmm, like stepping on two angry cobras.

• Fleming : Well, tell me. What happens if I don't get the list?

  Christakis : I do not accept failure, Mr. Fleming. I expect you to get the list... or die trying.

  Fleming : Oh, swell... Mr. Christakis I respectfully suggest you take your job and your million bucks and show it.

  Christakis : Two million dollars, Mr. Fleming.

  Fleming : What the hell. You only live once.

  Christakis : If you are lucky.

• Vallone : Are you all right?

  Fleming : Yes, it's great fun... if you like barbecue.

  Vallone : Vasilenko would have killed you, you know.

  Fleming : I thought you wanted me out of this caper?

  Vallone : I do, but not in a pine box. Unless of course you insist on it.

  Fleming : Are you kidding? Right now, I'm in no condition to insist on anything.

• Police Chief : You will keep yourself available, and you will not leave the country without my permission.

  Fleming : Sort of.

  The Princess : In town?

  Fleming : Yeah.

  The Princess : Is she pretty?

  Fleming : Dynamite!

• Fleming : I don't believe this. I really don't believe I'm doing this, for Christ's sake.

• Beltron : You're not gonna burn two million dollars for a lady?

  Fleming : I never met a princess before.
