• Heller : [Bond has just told Sanchez that those who tried to kill him probably came from within his own organization, and that Bond knows this because he used to work for the British government]  You're not going to believe who this guy is.

  Franz Sanchez : Former British agent.

  Heller : [Surprised]  How did you know that?

  Franz Sanchez : [Smiles]  Because I know things.

  [Demeanour changes] 

  Franz Sanchez : I want to meet Krest's boat tonight. We'll need a dozen reliable men.

• Franz Sanchez : Everyone and his brother is on the payroll. So, you - buy a mayor, chief of police, generals, presidents. One day you wake up and you own the whole god damn country. Then you take what you want. Banks. Government Casino. Airline concession. Why? Simple. It's easier for the politicians to take silver, than lead.

• Ed Killifer : You're facin' 139 felony counts, Sanchez. Why, that's 936 years! Even one of your famous million dollar bribes can't get you out of this one.

  Franz Sanchez : Two.

  Ed Killifer : What?

  Franz Sanchez : Two million.

• James Bond : I used to work for the British government. We kept dossiers on such people.
