60 Second Interview With Napoleon Bonaparte

   

   Dr. Schnipps: “Don't you think it's clever. Aren't I an extraordinary man?”

    No.113 : “Crazy! Those who claim to be Napoleon Bonaparte, are generally speaking - mad!”

    Dr. Schnipps: “But clever with it, you must admit that. After all, I've managed to hide the rocket.”

    “The rocket in the lighthouse!”

    “Oh. I say, you're not the Duke of Wellington are you?”

    “And the plan is to destroy London.”

    “Yes. In one hours time London will lie entirely in ruins!”

    “Chelsea Barracks - Wembly football stadium - Bond Street? And they'll be no more. Trafalgar Square, It'll be Napoleon Square. And of course Nelson's column will be Napoleon's column.”

    “So, it's not a neutron bomb then?”

    “What isn't?”

    The Warhead of the rocket.

    “No.”

   “Then how can you possibly offer Bond Street to your daughter - Wembly football stadium to the Scottish Marshal when they'll be lying entirely in ruins?”

    “But it will be a great day for the Welsh Nationalists!”

    “Aren't you Welsh?”

    “Schnipps isn't a Welsh name is it?”

    “No, it's German!”
    “And this plot to destroy London isn’t original you know.”
    “No?”

    “Hugo Drax tried it back in nineteen fifty-five.”

    “Oh look, it’s time to start the countdown!”

    “Drax died in a Russian submarine when the Moonraker rocket was reprogrammed by James Bond to a new target, that submarine!”

    “Well there’s not much danger of that. There’s no James Bond here, only Mister X, and he’s tied up in a chair over there. What’s more I’ve a fast boat to escape in, not a submarine! And now I’ve set the countdown for the rocket to blast off, nothing can go wrong………”
