Calling Cape Com. Cape Com? This is Jupiter 16. Do you give a go for fourth orbit?
Cape Com to Jupiter 16. Can you confirm O2 pressure is within limit?
Roger. Everything looks good in the environmentaI controI system.
Okay. Everything looks good from here. You have a go for fourth orbit.
Jupiter 16. Roger. You’re stowing all loose gear. Ready for the EVA.
Jupiter 16, this is Cape Com. Start your EVA any time you’re ready. Remember that you have plenty of time in the other EVAs to experiment, so don’t stay out too long, Chris.
Okay, Flight. Don’t worry. We’ll stick to plan.
Roger. Cape Com to Jupiter 16. On my mark it will be four plus three seven.
Cape Com to Jupiter 16. On my mark it will be four pIus three seven. Four, three, two, one, mark. Cape Com, this is Chris. I am out. Everything looks okay. Good. The maneuvering unit is working this time. I used it to get out and it makes things a lot easier.
Cape Com to Hawall, this is flight control, come in, please.
Hawaii, roger.
Hawaii, we expect to start EVA over your station on this pass.
Hawaii to Jupiter 16. There is an unidentified object is closing on you fast from astern. Can you see it?
Hawaii from Cape Com, we have nothing here. Hold while we check the space track.
Hawall to Jupiter 16. Repeat, Hawall to Jupiter 16. There is an unidentified object is on our scope, closing fast.
We see nothing. Can you give me a bearing?
Appears to be coming up fast, from astern.
Hey, now I see it! It’s another spacecraft! I repeat, it’s another spacecraft!
Chris, this is Flight. Does it Iook llke a close pass?
We’re breaking up. Say again.
Repeat, does it look like close pass?
Hey Chris, what’s happening?
It’s coming right at us! The front is opening up! I repeat, the front is opening up!
It’s coming right at us
Chris, get back in, get back in!
Jupiter 16, this is Space Com, do you read me? You’re breaking up .
What’s happening? Chris, what’s happening?
Hawaii to Jupiter 16. Hawaii to Jupiter 16. Are you receiving?
You’re breaking up. Come in, please.
Over.
Jupiter 16!
Cape Com to Hawaii, are you receving me? Over, please. Hawaii are you receiving? Jupiter 16!
My lifeline! It’s cau…
Hawaii to Jupiter 16. Hawaii to Jupiter 16. Are you receiving me? Come in, please. Over.
Hello, Houston. We’ve lost radio contact. We’ve also lost him on the scope. Unidentified object is still orbiting. Alert all stations and track him closely.
It is ridiculous for the Soviet government to deny responsibility in this matter.
The Soviet government denies all knowledge of this affair. The world knows we are a peace-loving people.
I hereby give notice that in 20 days time, the United States intends to launch her next spaceship into orbit. My government has instructed me to inform you that any interference with this spaceship will be regarded as an act of war.
May I ask what motive our Russian friends would have for wishing to destroy American spacecraft?
My government sees this as nothing less than a blatant attempt to gain complete and absolute control of space itself for military purposes.
We don’t agree. Her Majesty’s Government is not convinced that this intruder missile originated from Soviet Russia. Our tracking station in Singapore reported faint echoes of this craft coming down in the Sea of Japan area. Might I suggest, gentlemen, that this is where you should concentrate your intelligence forces? The Prime Minister has asked me to assure you this is what we propose to do. As a matter of fact, our man in Hong Kong is working on it now.
Why do Chinese girls taste different from all other girls?
You think we better, huh?
No, just different. Like Peking duck is different from Russian caviar, but I love them both.
Darling, I give you very best duck.
Well, that would be lovely. We’ve had some interesting times together, Ling. I’ll be sorry to go.
Take that door. The bed! We’re too late.
Well, at least he died on the job.
He’d have wanted it this way.
“You only live twice, or so it seems,
One life for yourself, and one for your dreams
You drift through the years and life seems tame,
’til one dream appears and love is its name
And love is a stranger who’ll beckon you on,
Don’t think of the danger or the stranger is gone
This dream is for you, so pay the price,
Make one dream come true, you only live twice
And love is a stranger who’ll beckon you on
Don’t think of the danger or the stranger is gone
This dream is for you, so pay the price
Make one dream come true, you only live twice”
“We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed. We therefore commit his body to the deep to be turned into corruption, looking for the resurrection of the body when the sea shall give up her dead.”
Present! Fire! Fire! Fire!
Carry on.
Aye aye, sir.
Request permission to come aboard, sir?
Permission granted.
Thank you.
Take this officer aft.
Yes, sir.
Number One, take her up to 90ft. Course zero four five.
Aye aye, sir.
Hello, Penny!
You’d better go right in. You’re late as usual, even from your own funeral.
Well, we corpses have absolutely no sense of time.
In you go…sir.
Thank you…ma’am.
Oh, sit down, 007.
Thank you, sir.
No ill effects?
None at all, sir.
Well, now that you’re dead, perhaps some of your old friends will pay a little less attention to you for a while. Give you more elbow room. You’ll need it, too. This is the big one, 007. That’s why I’m out here myself. I take it you’re fully briefed?
Oh yes, sir, but, uh, there’s one thing I don’t understand. If our Singapore tracking station is correct about the rocket not landing in Russia, then where did it land?
We assume it’s Japan. Mind you, all this is pure guesswork, but the PM wants us to play it with everything we’ve got.
And the aerial reconnaissance?
Every inch photographed. Nothing.
Are the Japanese equipped to launch such a rocket?
We don’t think so.
Then who else is?
That’s what you’ve got to find out, and fast. Before the real shooting starts. This damn thing could blow up into a full-scale war. When you get to Tokyo, go to that name and address. Our man Henderson will contact you there.
Henderson.
Captain here, sir. We’re underway. Full ahead.
Right. Well, that’s all.
Thank you, sir.
Double-oh seven.
Sir?
We’ve only three weeks before the Americans launch the next one. You know that, don’t you?
Yes, sir.
And my sources tell me the Russians are planning one even earlier than that. So move fast, 007.
Yes, sir.
Oh, by the way, how was the girl?
Which girl?
The Chinese one we fixed you up with.
Oh, another five minutes, I’d have found out.
Mmm…she’ll never know what she missed.
Miss Moneypenny, give 007 the password we’ve agreed with Japanese SIS
Yes, sir. We tried to think of something you wouldn’t forget.
Yes?
I…love…you. Repeat it, please, to make sure you get it.
Don’t worry, I get it. Sayonara.
James…good luck. Instant Japanese. You may need it.
You forget, I took a first in oriental languages at Cambridge.
Stand by to load. Lift to the launch! Tube loaded. Hubcap open. Fire!
Sadanoyama?
Dozo.
Sadanoyama…
Domo arigato.
Sadanoyama?
This is your ticket. Oy!
Thank you.
Dozo.
I love you.
I have a car nearby.
Oh, where do you suggest we go?
I know a quiet hotel.
And?
Where your friend is waiting. Mr. Henderson.
Wasn’t Mr. Henderson able to come himself?
I suppose not.
Why?
He didn’t say.
Well, I think it’s about hotel-time.
How long have you worked for Henderson?
Long enough to learn not to discuss such matters with strangers.
Mr. Henderson’s waiting for you.
You’re not coming in with me?
Mr. Henderson would like to see you alone.
Do come in.
Mr. Henderson?
At your service. I believe you wanted to ask me some questions.
Yes. Excuse me. Thank you.
I’m glad you got it right. I lost that in Singapore in ’42. Oh, you must excuse this rather odd mixture of styles, but I refuse to go entirely Japanese. Very fond of some of these old things. You’ve never been to Japan before, have you?
No, never.
I myself have lived here for, uh, 28 years. And I’m just beginning to know my way about. Your most vital contact will be Tanaka.
Tanaka?
He’s head of the Japanese secret service. And his identity is the most closely guarded secret in Japan.
When can I see him?
You can see Tiger tonight.
Tiger?
His closest friends are permitted to call him that.
Do you have any leads of your own?
Yes, I do. Oh, that’s uhm stirred not shaken. That was right?
Perfect. Cheers.
Cheers.
Russian vodka. Well done.
Yeah, I get it from the doorman at the Russian embassy. Amongst certain other things. Now, look. I think London’s theory about the missile being fired from this country is right. I don’t know how or where. And don’t ask me who’s doing it either. But, uh, I have a fairly shrewd idea that a major foreign power is behind it all.
You mean, apart from Russia and Japan?
It’s not Russia, old boy, I’m sure of that. It’s not Japan either. Although a large Japanese industrial concern is…
Good evening.
Cheers. Siamese vodka?
Get in, quick!
Now, what the hell’s the score?
What do you mean? My job is to help you.
Like you helped Henderson?
I’m taking you to a place of safety.
No, this time I’m taking you. I want some information, I want it now.
I have no information to give you.
We’ll soon see about that. Slow down.
Welcome! Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond! It is a great pleasure to meet you at last. And how do you like our country so far? I am a trifle disappointed at the ease with which I could pull you in. The one thing my honourable mother taught me long ago was never to get into a car with a strange girl. But you, I’m afraid, will get into anything with any girl! I must say, you have a lot of energy for a dead man, Mr. Bond. You are James Bond, aren’t you? I am so very pleased to meet you, Bond-san. I really am. Permit me to introduce myself. My name is Tanaka. Please call me Tiger.
If you’re Tanaka, how do you feel about me?
I…love you.
Well, I’m glad we got that out of the way. I’d like you to examine these as soon as possible. They’re from Osato’s safe.
This is an order for naval stores. 500 kilos of butter, 50 containers of lox. What is lox?
Oh, it’s American name for smoked salmon. But it’s also the technical name for liquid oxygen. Which makes rocket fuel.
Very interesting.
Yes.
We must go. The journey out will be more dignified than the journey in.
Ah, that wouldn’t be difficult. Oh, I’d like that negative enlarged, alright?
Okay.
My private train. I never travel in the streets of Tokyo. In my position, it would be most unwise.
Very convenient.
I imagine that your Mr. M in London has a similar arrangement.
M? Oh yes, but of course. Then the girl in the white sports car’s one of us.
Aki? Yes.
Mmm, very competent. Domo arigato.
Dozo.
Do you like Japanese sake, Mr. Bond, or would you prefer vodka martini?
Oh, no. I like sake. Especially when it’s served at the correct temperature. 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit, like this is.
For a European, you are exceptionally cultivated. We’ll see the photograph you found.
Good. It’s just ship and a strip of land, it could be anywhere.
My men found a microdot on the paper. Enlarge! It says, ‘Photograph taken by female American tourist from coastal vessel. The woman has been liquidated as a routine precaution.’
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! Ah-ha! Ama. Diving girls.
Can you identify that coastline?
Given time, yes.
Who is the head of Osato Chemicals?
Mr. Osato.
Can you arrange for me to have 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 civilised bath.
Really? Well, I like the plumbing.
Place yourself entirely in their hands, my dear Bond-san. 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 ’round to it.
Miss Moneypenny, perhaps? We have our sources, Bond-san, 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 they were discovered, they could deny responsibility. Especially if some private organization’s doing the work.
Osato?
Perhaps.
Mr. Osato is one of the greatest industrialists in Japan.
No, 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 old lady here.
Good choice! She’s very sexiful.
The last time someone gave me a massage was in Hong Kong. But unfortunately, I 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?
Yes.
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 some champagne, Mr. Fisher?
Eh, no, thank you, it’s too early in the morning for me.
You’re quite sure?
Quite sure.
I always take a glass in the morning. You should try it.
It’s bad for your liver, isn’t it?
Nonsense, it adds a sparkle to the day.
I’m sure it does.
A Dom Pérignon ’59, Mr. Fisher. Are you really sure you won’t change your mind?
Well, if you insist.
Please be seated, Mr. Fisher.
Thank you.
So, you are the new managing director of Empire Chemicals?
Yes.
What happened to Williamson?
Williamson? Ah yes! He died rather suddenly, poor chap.
Ah, so. From what?
He fell into a pulveriser at the works.
Ah, so How shocking. A very honourable death, all the same.
Very. He gained great face with the company.
I hope you are not taking any risks yourself, Mr. Fisher.
Me? I never take any risks.
You forgive me for saying so, but, uh, I think you are taking one now.
I am?
You should give up smoking. Cigarettes are very bad for your chest.
Mr. Osato believes in a healthy chest.
Really?
Now, then. You must tell me what I can do for you, Mr. Fisher.
Well, we’re interested in the bulk-buying of fermentation chemicals. Monosodium glutamate and ascorbic acid.
Would you like a license to manufacturing?
Yes, very much.
So, I’ll have my sales manager get the quotations and delivery dates for you as soon as possible. We’ll contact you later today at your hotel.
Which hotel are you staying at, Mr. Fisher?
The Hilton.
Goodbye, Mr. Fisher. A pleasure to meet you.
A pleasure to meet you, too. Goodbye, Miss Brandt.
Goodbye, Mr Fisher. Kill him.
Get down! 294 here. Tiger, immediate.
Come in, 294.
Zero-zero is with me. We are being chased by gunmen, in black sedan. I’m heading south for Highway Two. Arrange usual reception, please.
How’s that for Japanese efficiency?
Just a drop in the ocean.
Zero-zero?
Yes, Tiger.
Motor vessel Ning-Po is owned by Osato Chemicals, Tokyo.
That fits. Go on.
Vessel at present loading in Kobe docks. Sailing for Shanghai at 5pm this afternoon. Suggest you proceed Kobe immediately to look her over.
Can we make it?
Yes, just.
Proceeding immediately, Kobe docks. Tiger, contact M. Tell him to send Little Nellie. Repeat, Little Nellie. Suggest she be accompanied by her father. Most urgent. Understood?
Understood.
Condensation, ice-cold. Liquid oxygen.
Get out of here. Contact Tanaka.
I’m not leaving you.
Tell him to keep that ship shadowed, wherever she goes. Go now.
Take him to Number 11.
Wake him up.
Are you finished? Where am I?
You’re in my cabin on the Ning-Po. Leave him to me now. Wait in there. And shut the door. I’ve got you now.
Well, enjoy yourself.
Who are you working for?
Empire Chemicals, you know that.
Do all their people carry guns?
When they’re abroad, yes.
And why were you snooping around the docks?
I like ships. And I used to be a sailor.
You are a liar. Do you know what this is?
I’d rather not.
Plastic surgeons call it a dermatome. They use it to slice off skin. I hope you won’t force me to use it.
Now, what’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this? I have a confession to make.
What?
Actually, I’m a spy.
I know that.
I suppose you know that industrial secrets are big business? Well, I have stolen Osato’s new process for making monosodium glutamate. And, uh, well it’s worth, uh, $300,000.
So?
Well, I’ll split it with you if you’ll get me out of here and back to Tokyo.
That’s a nice offer.
How about it?
I’m afraid not.
Why?
Osato would kill me.
We could fly to Europe tomorrow, you and I. Oh, the things I do for England.
Now, you are going to need some very close, uh, protection tonight in Tokyo because, uh, well, that’s when they’ll try and get at you. You’ll need the best man we’ve got.
And who do you suggest?
Well, me.
I’m afraid I have another appointment tonight, Mr. Fisher. Helga Brandt: I’m awfully sorry to leave you. But I have to get off.
Chasing girls will be the end of you, Bond-san, I have told you that before.
He didn’t chase her. He did it so I could get away. He wouldn’t touch that horrible girl. You wouldn’t, would you?
Oh, heaven forbid. Any progress?
Yes. We have identified the coastline in the photograph. It is an island called Matsu, and lies on the direct route between Kobe and Shanghai. We shadowed the Ning-Po in a helicopter.
Did it stop at the island?
I think so.
It was a very dark night. Impossible to see her all the time.
But we know she stopped somewhere. Look at these.
That one we took last night. And that one, early this morning. Notice, please, the water line.
You’re right. Fully laden here and empty here. I want to take a fast look at the island now. Has Little Nellie arrived yet?
Yes, and her father.
Ah, welcome to Japan, Dad. Is my little girl hot and ready?
Look, 007, I’ve had a long and tiring journey, probably to no purpose. I’m in no mood for your juvenile quips.
I have much curiosity, Bond-san. What is Little Nellie?
Oh, she’s a wonderful girl. Very small, quite fast. Can do anything. Just your type.
A toy helicopter?
No, it’s certainly not a toy! You’ll see. We’ve made one or two improvements since you used her last. I’ll give you the drill.
This can only be for children. Don’t use it, Bond-san! Take my helicopter instead.
Right. Now pay attention. Two machine guns, fixed.
Synchronised to what?
100 yards, we’re using incendiaries and high explosives. Two rocket launchers, forward-firing on either side.
Fine.
Now, these fire heat-seeking air-to-air missiles. 60 a minute.
Good.
Flame guns. Two of ’em. Firing astern.
What range?
80 yards. Two smoke ejectors next door to them. Aerial mines. Now remember, use them only when directly above target. Now, that’s about the lot I thimk. You know the rest, don’t you.
Yes.
Cine camera.
Tanaka, listen in on 410 megacycles.
Good luck, Bond-san!
I’ll contact you when I get over the island.
Okay.
Be careful, Bond-san!
Hello, Base One. I’m over the island now. I’ve seen the fishing village. Nothing to report.
Roger, we’ll keep llstening.
Hello, Base One. There’s nothing here but volcanoes.
Understood. Carry on.
Hello, Base One.
Listening.
Little Nellie got a hot reception. Four big-shots made improper advances towards her, but she defended her honor with great success. Heading for home.
Do not come home, Bond-san. Russian space shot imminent. Proceed vector 4-6 degrees and await instructions. Understood?
Roger and out.
Clear the area. Clear the area. Prepare for reception. Prepare for reception. Radar blackout is now compIete. Radar blackout is now compIete.
Moscow radio’s already saying that we did it.
The president’s called a press conference for 2 PM. He’s gonna deny emphatically we had anything to do with it.
But can we prove it?
Of course we can’t.
The world isn’t gonna believe the Russians destroyed their own spacecraft.
Now they’ll use the excuse to shoot down our next Jupiter.
Houston to Washington. We followed him for one orbit, now he’s gone off the screen.
That means he’s coming down.
Yeah, but where?
Some place in Russia. It has to be. The British theory about Japan is nonsense.
Forget Japan.
I agree. We’ve re-photographed every square inch.
Ventllator fans to full power. Open all air ducts.
Area safe to enter. All crews to stations.
All air ducts to normal.
Air ducts opened.
Close crater.
Closing crater.
Fire guards to station.
Ventilator fans to normal. Open shutters.
Reception compIete.
Withdraw captive spaceship.
Guards to stations.
Remove the prisoners.
Remove the prisoners.
I shall be in my apartment. I may send for you later.
I must congratulate you, gentlemen, upon your superb equipment.
We congratulate you, sir, upon the way you handle it.
Our clients are satisfied with the progress so far?
My government is quite satisfied.
Good. Hans! You will see that my piranha fish get very hungry. They can strip a man to the bone in 30 seconds. I have decided to ask for a little money in advance. I want the sum of 100 million dollars, in gold bullion, deposited in our account in Buenos Aires.
Our agreement states quite clearly that no money should be paid until war has broken out between Russia and the United States.
This is extortion.
Extortion is my business. Go and think it over, gentlemen. I’m busy.
Osato and Number 11, report now.
An unknown Englishman was in your office the other day.
Correct, Number One.
Do you know what gun this is?
Walther PPK.
Only one person we know uses this sort of gun. James Bond.
But Bond is dead.
It was in all the newspapers.
Rubbish. Bond is alive. Unless you killed him, Mr. Osato? Don’t tell me you let him go.
I gave Number 11 the strictest orders to eliminate him.
And did she?
She failed.
You should have killed him yourself. You had plenty of opportunity.
This organization does not tolerate failure.
I know, but you see, I…
Go! Well?
Ah! Osato! Ah!
Kill Bond! Now!
Yes, Number One. Yes. Yes, yes.
Hello.
Bad news from outer space.
Yes, I heard it. Now the Russians are accusing the Americans.
Next time it will be war.
We’ll have to get down to the volcanoes.
I agree.
We’ll also need a company of first-rate men. Do you have any commandos here?
I have much, much better. Ninjas. Top-secret, Bond-san. This is my ninja training school.
Ninjas?
The art of concealment and surprise, Bond-san.
This must develop very fast reflex actions.
And spiritual strength.
Now, we will see some modern ninjas.
My plan is this. I make a base on the Ama island. 100 of my ninjas will slide in unseen. They will be workers and fishermen.
What about me?
Later. But for the moment, these will interest you. Rocket guns. Very powerful. See the little holes in the back for jet propulsion.
It’s a fine gun.
All rocket guns. This is our special baby rocket. It’s very useful for people who smoke too many cigarettes, like you. Accurate up to 30 yards.
Very neat.
It can save your life, this cigraette.
You sound like a commercial.
Now, what’s the plan for me?
First, you become a Japanese. Second, you train hard and quickly to become a ninja like us. And third, to give you extra-special cover, you take a wife.
Oh.
Regretfully impossible. You must marry Ama girl. One who is known on the island.
Is she pretty?
She has a face like a pig.
To hell with that idea.
But this is duty.
The girl I have chosen is an agent of mine. But first, you must become Japanese.
Eyepieces to Hera.
Why don’t you just dye the parts that show?
Konbanwa.
Konbanwa. Tiger said, from now on, you must do everything Japanese-style.
Everything? Good for Tiger.
I’m…I…I…
Aki!
I’m…
She’s dead. Poisoned. Tiger, we must get to that island.
You’re almost ready. Just two more days’ training.
You killed him.
Yeah, he tried to kill me.
This man is a stranger from outside.
It’s lucky we’re getting out of here.
Yes, tomorrow you will be a poor Japanese worker, with humble Japanese wife at your side.
Yeah, with a face like a pig.
My men are already ashore. All over the island. We have four days left. It is not much time.
This is my house. My friend has made us some food.
Do you live here alone?
Yes. My parents are dead. Sit down, please.
Oysters. Is this the only room there is?
Yes. That is your bed. I shall sleep over there.
We’re supposed to be married.
Think again, please. You gave false name to priest.
Yes, but we must keep up appearances! We’re on our honeymoon.
No honeymoon. This is business.
Well, I won’t need these.
Well, I won’t need these.
What’s wrong?
The Americans have changed the launching date. The countdown has already started. The President has spoken on television. He has given a last warning to the Russians.
When does it go up?
Tonight, midnight. Our time.
Did your men search the island?
Yes. There is nothing, except volcanoes. Everything is so normal around here. Nothing happens.
One thing has happened. Yesterday an Ama girl rowed her boat into Ryuzaki.
Ryuzaki?
It is a big cave on the mainland. And when her boat floated out again, she was dead.
Was that the funeral we saw yesterday?
Yes.
How did she die?
Nobody knows.
Can you take me to this cave?
Yes.
We’ll slip away from the fishing fleet in the morning.
All right. Well, where is this cave?
It’s straight across. The cave is over there.
Gas. Get over the side. Quick!
Phosgene gas, to keep the visitors away. Did you notice the sulphur on the walls?
The yellow?
Yes. It was once an underground outlet for the lava from the volcano.
There must be a long tunnel.
Miles of it. Leads all the way, right up to the top there. And that’s where we’ll have to go next. Do you think you can make it?
Of course. It’s business.
Good.
May I rest a moment?
Surely.
It’s hard work.
Some honeymoon!
It’s going down! Into the volcano!
Heliport to position.
The honeymoon’s over. Come on.
This volcano isn’t active, is it?
It never has been. Not in my lifetime.
There’s been some terrific heat here recently.
What happened to the helicopter?
It’s down there somewhere. Come on.
Stand by. Mark. Stand by for ten-second countdown. 10, 9, 8, 7…
All units throughout the world will remain at instant readiness so long as the spacecraft is in orbit.
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Ignition.
This is it, gentlemen. All we can do now is wait and pray.
Is that deep?
They usually are – very.
It’s metal! Wait here.
Hellport to takeoff position. Open crater. Emergency crews to stations.
Get back to Tanaka. Tell him to come here with every man he’s got.
Yes.
Heliport to standby position. Astronauts to dressing rooms. Astronauts to dressing rooms. Attention, attention. American target vehicle is now in orbit. Interception will take pIace in two hours’ time.
Washington, this is Houston. Houston to Washington. Our vehicle is now 120 nautical miles altitude, 170 mlles downrange.
Jupiter to Houston, we now have second phase.
Roger, Jupiter.
We are now 4 hours plus 36 minutes into the mission. Can you give us a time, Mac?
Roger.
Connect igniter cable. Connect igniter cable. Radar technicians, report to controI room. Radar technicians, report to controI room. T-minus 100 minutes and counting.
Did you guys volunteer for astronaut training?
In our country, we say cosmonaut.
Yes, sir, both of us did…In six months we started training.
Good evening.

You only live twice, Mr. Bond.

It’ll be a pleasure, sir.
“You only live twice, or so it seems,
One life for yourself, and one for your dreams
You drift through the years and life seems tame,
’til one dream appears and love is its name
And love is a stranger who’ll beckon you on,
Don’t think of the danger or the stranger is gone
This dream is for you, so pay the price,
Make one dream come true, you only live twice”
