Quotes 

• [Referring to his machine gun vs Bond's hand gun] 

  Brad Whitaker : You've had your eight, now I have my eighty.

• [Bond finds Whitaker playing with toy soldiers] 

  James Bond : Pickett's charge was up Cemetary Ridge, not Little Round Top.

  Brad Whitaker : I'm reenacting the battle as I would have fought it. Meade was tenacious, but he was cautious. He missed his chances to crush Lee at Gettsyburg.

• Brad Whitaker : How do you like my personal pantheon of great commanders?

  Leonid Pushkin : Butchers.

  Brad Whitaker : Surgeons. They cut away society's dead flesh.

• James Bond : I've come for Koskov.

  Brad Whitaker : Hell, you can *have* him. As soon as I get my opium. Now where is it?

  James Bond : Up in smoke.

  Brad Whitaker : [incredulous]  You burned up a half a billion bucks?

  [Bond nods] 

  Brad Whitaker : That's too bad, Bond. You could've been a live rich man, instead of a poor dead one.

  James Bond : You're *finished*, Whitaker! If the Russians don't get you, the Americans will!

  Brad Whitaker : Nah. You know Meade should have taken another 35,000 casualties. Could have ended the rebellion right then and there. Hell, Grant would have done it.

  [Whitaker manages to knock Bond off his feet, grab a machine gun and open fire on him] 

• Brad Whitaker : Necros can do it.

  Necros : I've worked with the Russians. My appearance and methods are well known to them. It could jeopardize my comrades struggling for world revolution who depend upon me.

• Brad Whitaker : My hobby. The strategy and tactics of the world's historic battles. Afghanistan. The Northwest Frontier. 1895. The initial trial of the first automatic machine gun... 303 Caliber Maxim. The King's Royal Rifles - they whacked out a vastly superior force. Kept the British in Afghanistan for another 25 years. Now, what you Russians need over there, nowadays, is the equivalent of a modern Maxim.
