Quotes 

• Kronsteen : SPECTRE would probably have the chance of a personal revenge for the killing of our operative - Dr. No - because the man the British will almost certainly use on a mission of this sort would be - their agent - James Bond.

  Blofeld : Let his death be a particularly unpleasant and humiliating one.

• Blofeld : Three men were found dead on the Orient Express train at Trieste. One of them was Grant. What have you got to say about that Number Five?

  Kronsteen : It was Klebb's choice. Her people failed.

  Rosa Klebb : It was your plan they followed implicitly.

  Kronsteen : Impossible. It was perfect.

  Rosa Klebb : Except for one thing, they were dealing with Bond.

  Kronsteen : Who is Bond compared with Kronsteen?

• Rosa Klebb : I hope Kronsteen's efforts as Director of Planning will continue to be as successful as his chess.

  Kronsteen : They will be.

• Kronsteen : I shall put my plan into operations straight away - and there will be *no* failure.

• Blofeld : Kronsteen, are you sure this plan is foolproof?

  Kronsteen : Yes, it is. Because I have anticipated every possible variation of any counter-move.

  Blofeld : But what makes you think that M, the head of British intelligence, will oblige you by falling in with your plan?

  Kronsteen : For the simple reason that this is so obviously a trap. My reading of the British mentality is that they always treat a trap as a challenge.
