Es sprechen: Lewis Gilbert (L.G.), William P. Carlidge (W.P.C.), Michael G. Wilson (M.G.W.), Christopher Wood (C.W.) und Michael Lonsdale (Drax).

11:15 L.G. She was quite pretty, wasn't she?

12:15 W.P.C. Oh yes! They're still doing it, by the way.

14:00 M.G.W. This is where we get the idea that there are beautiful women in Bond films. Do you remember that?
L.G. Yeah.
W.P.C. What you mean there hadn't been any before?
M.G.W. Well, the idea that they are all over the place.
L.G. Yes.

15:00 M.G.W. May I press you to a cucumber sandwich? was one of your... I haven't quite figured out what that means, but I guess you...

15:30 M.G.W. She had a nice decolltage.
L.G. Yes.

16:35 C.W. Holly Goodhead is of course an invented name in a long, you know, category of Pussy Galore et cetera?
W.P.C. In a good tradition.
C.W. Exactly.
W.P.C. Of subtle names.
C.W. Right.

22:00 C.W. We now approach my most hated line in any Bond movie for which I even haven't got a hell of a response, because it was changed, a terrible line when she says: I never learned to read.
W.P.C. What did you write then?
L.G. Such a cheerful line!
C.W. What matter!

25:10 L.G. What I think is really incredible about James Bond films, in most countries in the world, because they are dubbed into a different language, they think it's their... their... you know, they think he's for instance German or whatever.

29:05 L.G. But I remember these dogs as being not as good as they seem to be now.

30:10 L.G. Shame we cut away.

30:55 L.G. She was very pretty, the Polish girl.

32:30 C.W. (annoyed) She's a pretty girl.
L.G. (guilty) Oh damn, yes. Very sweet girl.

33:45 W.P.C. I don't just speak as the male species, we  all quite like Bond as a bit of a male chauvinist, don't we?
L.G. Oh, absolutely, I mean, that's what he was and...
W.P.C. That's what he should be, really.
L.G. Yeah.

44:30 M.G.W. We had a lot of alternative lines here, didn't we? He had an ear for music.
C.W. I wanted to used that so much.
M.G.W. Play it again, Sam. was the final choice. Hmm.

52:00 L.G. She was very pretty, wasn't she?
W.P.C. Yes, Emily...
L.G. Bolton.
W.P.C. Bolton, yes.

1:03:40 W.P.C. This was Christopher Wood's romantic touch.
C.W. Wheel of fortune.

1:04:10 L.G. She's lovely this girl though, isn't she? She's so sweet!

1:18:10 L.G. She was attractive, the red headed girl.
C.W. She was great!

1:18:20 M.G.W. So you got all the girls in this shot, huh, Lewis?
L.G. Yuh.
W.P.C. They all appear, together. They don't do a lot, but they all appear.
C.W. Damn right.

1:18:40 L.G. She was attractive.

1:30:10 L.G. What is going on here?
M.G.W. We should ask the director what is going on here.
L.G. Yes, oh no, I remember now, they were taking them up to get a perfect race. Some kind of a Hitler stuff, yuh, of course.

1:36:00 C.W. There's a valuable lesson for mankind in this film! People got to live together, you know?

1:36:15 Drax ...and know that there is law and order...
C.W. Exactly!
W.P.C. This is sort of a classic Bond, isn't it? The heavy's got to be definitely a complete, absolute loony.
C.W. (bemused) What?

1:41:25 C.W. The splendor of my conception!

1:41:45 L.G. What about all their families?
C.W. Well, you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs, Lewis.

1:42:30 Drax And you, Dr. Goodhead, your desire to be America's first woman in space will shortly be fulfilled.
M.G.W. Oh, Christopher! Love it, love it.

1:53:10 L.G. Did he know that everybody called him Jaws?
