Top Three Goldeneye Lines/Quotes

I'm going to be cheeky here. I won't do it for any other film, maybe, maybe not but for a film that I've had a love-hate relationship with, on the quiet I've managed to employ certain lines from this film into conversation without thinking.

1) She always did enjoy a good squeeze.

The most Moore-esque of Brosnan's GE one-liners.

2) That depends on your definition of safe sex.

and , Ouromov's shout

3) I am timing you!

---

Hmm, I do quite like:

"It keeps me alive." / "No, it keeps you alone."

Beautiful character moment so gorgeously filmed, acted and score.

"Someday you'll have to make good on your innuendos"

The key to this Moneypenny scene lies in that line. The sexual harassment line overshadows the rest, but she's saying Bond needs to act on the flirting. She's not resisting him - she's inviting him. And with the knowing glint in Samantha Bond's eyes makes it a welcome to return to the best of the 60s.

"I gave him the limp"
Humour and danger in equal parts, perfectly played by Brosnan.

Not sure the bottom two would be 'top 3' (the first absolutely is) but they're the ones that popped into mind first. GoldenEye has some great dialogue.

Excellent choices. I do like the limp line, Brosnan's expression seals the deal. For a film that has never sat terribly easily on my mind, it is one that is quite quotable. I used to imitate Ouromov for ages when I saw it as a kid (kid I was, I was, er 10).

"I am timing you!" he was an underrated actor. The expressions alone was worth the ticket.

One of the finest villains in the series. His throwing down the food on the train, his look at Bond with the gas tanks, his entrance (with Serra's perfect cue!) in the PTS, his look to zealous killer Xenia at Severneya... As you say the reaction shots in the tank chase. Brilliant actor.

And yes, very quotable. One that pops into mind quite often (if someone steals something from a plate during a meal) I humorously recall 'Don't touch that! That's my lunch!'

'The pleasure was all mine' and its variants used in the film.

And of course 'who's strangling the cat?'

Oh you know, I actually quite often employ one of Anna's few lines: "he wouldn't know a woman if one came and syat on his hyead."

Ha yes. When we watched it as kids, seem to remember shouting "I am invincible!" on the playground a few times (a few of us that is).

And if said woman was Anna, poor chap would likely have suffocated long before he'd have got the chance to be frozen by liquid nitrogen.

I quote GE daily so it's impossible to just do three.

1. Every Boris line. Particularly the whole introduction sequence which I quote far too much.
2. Alec's speech when emerging in the statue park. Brilliant, dark, emotional, dripping with venom and rage and yet a particular cold detached regret. Bond's responses are equally emotional, betrayed, driven and unwavering.
3. Zukovsky or Wade probably.

Honorary mention: every scream of raging insults hurled at Natalya causing mission failed in GE 64.

Abso-lutely. Used to go mad trying to get her through that level and she either gets killed or stuck on something. Somebody a couple of years ago did a live-action version parody. As always the only way to get through when she glitched was, er, shoot her.

GE 64: revolutionized gaming with its multiplayer but most fail to realize it's actually a take out your frustrations on Natalya simulator.
