Favourite Bond double-entendre

A double entendre is a figure of speech in which a spoken phrase is devised to be understood in either of two ways. Often the first (more obvious) meaning is straightforward, while the second meaning is less so: often risqué or ironic.

Mine would be after Roger Moore's Bond has a fight with artery-gnawing Jaws on the train and kicks him out the window (like Tee Hee). He then tells Anya 'He just dropped in for a quick bite.'

"Could you me help find... the stationary?"

Geddit?

Bond to Rosie: "Oh, I wouldn't worry. We should be able to lick you into shape in no time."

Honorable mention to: "Just a slight stiffness coming on."

'Unintentional' one - obviously - "I think he's attempting re-entry, sir."

"I am now aiming precisely at your groin. So speak now or forever hold your piece."

"Now there's a mouthful."

"I think I got the thrust of it."

"Lee Tamahori."

'As long as the collars and cuffs match'.

5 examples of favorites:

''We have people everywhere'' QOS.
''This is the new banker... Mr.. Bond James Bond.'' TMND
''Oh, Stop it both of you! Stop it! You're like boys with toys! '' Goldeneye.
''James Bond. Charming, sophisticated secret agent. "Shaken, but not disturbed." Goldeneye.
''Where's Fekkesh?'' ''Pyramids! '' TSWLM.

BTW, Sharky, very cool avatar.

Got to be either 'Speak now or forever hold your piece' or 'A little restless but I got off eventually.'

"You're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen."
"Thank you, but I think my mouth is too big."
"No, it's the right size... For me, that is."

Actually I always loved:

"Elliot Carver: (staring at Bond) You have a vivid imagination for a banker, Mr. Bond. Perhaps I should commission you to write a novel.
Bond: Oh, no, I wouldn't know where to begin. I'd be lost at sea... adrift..."

He might as well have been saying "Hey, I know you sunk the Devonshire, I know you misguided it with your satellites, I'm onto you."

Pretty cringe-worthy exchange IMO.

Dunno, maybe they shouldn't have shown the audience that Carver was the one behind HMS Devonshire's sinking that early on.

But then that comes with trying to revive the soggy old TB-YOLT-TSWLM-MR formula for one last time.

It's already doing that anyway even as it is. I'm not too much against that, as I understand this was Mike and Babs own attempt at just doing a classic formula Bond film that TLD/LTK/GE got away from. While the older films still felt fresh in their own way, TND is just limp and generic, which all comes down to Spottiswoode, who should have never gotten a call from EON. Heck, Roland Emmerich was suggested to be a better alternative to Tamahori, I think TND would have suited his style more with the WWIII high stakes.

Really though, I would have loved John Woo to do TND. With him it would have stood a good chance at topping GE.

When I heard that TWINE was to feature a character called Christmas Jones, I thought that there was potential for a 'Christmas coming more than once a year' double-entendre but then dismissed it as too risque for Bond. So imagine my surprise at it being the movie's closing line.

"I'm afraid you've caught me with more than just my hands up!"

Well, I had to join when I saw these.

How about in "Thunderball" when he tells Pat Fearing, "Oh, I travel... a sort of licensed troubleshooter."

Not very saucy, but pretty much on-target.

I think Dalton does a nice corollary to this when he corrects Sanchez suggesting he's "More a problem eliminator" and gives that semi maniacal laugh!

"My god, what's Bond doing?!"

"I think he's attempting re-entry sir!"

Here's some of my favourites:

1) M: "Where's Bond?" Moneypenny: "He's on his final leg sir." Moonraker
2) Plenty: "I'm Plenty." Bond: "But of course you are." Plenty: "No! Plenty O' Toole." Bond: "Named after your father no doubt." DAF
3) Not so much a double entendre but funny: Hood: "I gotta a brudder." Bond: "Small world." DAF
4) Felix: "Where are the diamonds James? Bond walking past the casket: "It's alimentary my dear Felix." DAF
5) Again, just funny really: Woman: "Are you with our group? Bond climbing into the boat from the river: "No ma'am. I'm with the economy tour." Octopussy
6) One more and I better stop! I could do this all morning! Solitaire: "Now what are you doing? Bond: "Just being disarming, darling." LALD
