Our Favourite Quotes from the Films

"You blew it, Charlie!"

Gotta love that chagrined gas station attendant. He had the chance to shove a couple of gallons in for Jill St. John and missed the opportunity.

Marc-Ange Draco: "Spare the rod and spoil the child, eh?"

Prince Kamal Khan: "Spend the money quickly, Mr. Bond."

Where do you begin with so many brilliant lines over the years.

"Miss?"
"Chew Me."

Come on, the most immortalised line is

The writers have had a tough time since beating that gem.

Some of my favorite Lines:

Bond his introduction in DR No and Thunderball at gabmle table: Bond James Bond

TSWLM:
Bond: Where's Fekkesh?
Sandor: Pyramids!

Goldeneye: Alec: For England Bond: For England Alec. Alec: For England Bond: No, For Me. Now he's your enemy and you will kill him. Oh, Stop it both of you! Stop it! You're like boys with toys!
TMND: Roebeck: With all due respect, M, sometimes, I don't think you have the balls for this job
Twine: Q: I always learn you two things: Never Let Them Se you Blaid. Bond: And the Second? Q: Always have escape plan.
DAD: Frost: He'll light the fuse on any explosive situation, and be a danger to himself and others.
QOS: Mr White: The first thing you should know about us is... we have people everywhere.

I do like that line from Mr. White. Well delivered, too.

Shame that it just serves as a cheap 'cue action sequence' moment.

"That looks more suited for a woman" - James Bond
"You know about guns, Mister Bond?" - Emilio Largo
"No, but I know a little about women!" - James Bond

One of Sean's most at ease moments as Bond. Bond is very much relaxed here and enjoying his taunting of the evil villain. Both Bond and Largo are fully aware that they are deadly enemies, yet they maintain an air of civility and enjoy their repartee. In this case Largo is no match for the silver tongued Bond. Bond is softening up his target here. He gets away with this cocky approach as he has every confidence in his ability to deliver the deadly force when the time comes.
Sean's brief introductory remarks to the "widow" Jacques Bouvar in TB pts, is very satisfying as well. Sean Bond likes to prime and rattle his targets before he engages them in deadly combat.This speaks to the uber coolness of Connery Bond. Bond could have shot Bouvar in the back, but he wanted to play with him first, like a cat with a mouse. Bond gets away with this approach because he is utterly confident in his ability to get the better of his target and finish him off.Such is the appeal and charm of Connery Bond. Utterly unflappable and thorougly confident in his ability to act with deadly decisive force when the moment arrives.This is the power of Connery and to a certain extent Lazenby as well, while Craig also has this potential, if and when he ever gets over his Bond issues, but no-one delivered it like Sean, the ultimate Bond.Rog and Brozzer on the other hand could not bring the menace with anywhere near the same level of authority.Dalts lacked the uflappableness. He seemed too affected by events.

"Not very comfortable in here, is it?"

"Are you going to complain the whole way?"

"Oh fine! Go ahead and eject me. See if I care."

Perilagu Khan wrote:

"Not very comfortable in here, is it?"

"Are you going to complain the whole way?"

"Oh fine! Go ahead and eject me. See if I care."

Personally, I found that exchange a bit hamfisted. It was as if it was shoehorned in just to remind people that the DB5 had an ejector seat. Not to mention the "See if I care," line seemed rather childish and out of character for Dench-M.

I much prefer M's subsequent f-bomb.

I thought it was the funniest moment in the whole film, and therefore priceless platinum for a DC era that has arguably been too dour and grim.

And I thought the "See if I care" was a touch of humor from M and entirely in keeping with the evolution of the relationship between her and Bond, which SF had limned.

Didn't like M's F-bomb. That is one innovation the Bond serious could have done without.

"Now start losing, Goldfinger. Shall we say 10,000? No, let's be generous - let's make it 15,000. Over and out. That should keep him occupied for some time."

Bond: I'd say it was indifferently blended, with an overdose of bombois.
M: Colonel Smithers is giving the lecture, 007.

M: Do you think she [Domino]'s worth going after?
Bond: I wouldn't have put it quite that way...

The entire exchange between Bond and Q in Thunderball, culminating in his instructions for activating his 'harmless' radioactive homing beacon:
Q: You swallow it!
Bond (meekly): Now?

M:There is no year for sherry, 007.
Bond: I was referring to the original vintage on which the sherry was based, sir. 1851 - unmistakable.

Thumper: Is there something we can do for you?
Bond: I can think of several things, offhand - but for now I'm looking for Willard Whyte.
(Why does that sound so much better coming from Connery than it did from Moore in Moonraker ["I'm tempted to say yes immediately - but perhaps I'd better have a look around first"]? Oh yeah, because it's Connery.

007: (to Quarrel and Honey) "Look, you two, there are no such things as dragons. What you saw was just something that looked like one."

Tiffany Case: "Look, you can drop me off at the nearest hotel, I mean this whole thing is getting a little out of hand. No offense, but when you start stealing moon machines from Willard Whyte, goodbye and good luck."
007: "Just relax. I've got a friend named Felix who can fix anything."
Tiffany Case: "Is he married?"
(after an encounter with a police officer)
Tiffany Case: "Relax! You've got a friend named Felix who can fix anything."
007: "Unforunately, so can Willard Whyte."

Georgi Koskov: "How many people have you gotten to do this?" (referring to the human pipeline)

Natalya Simonova: "This is not one of your games, Boris. Real people will DIE! You pathetic little worm!"
Alec Trevelyan: (grabs Boris' hand in mid-slap) "She was in the mainfraim, check the computers."
Boris Grishenko: "She's a moron! A second level programmer. She works on the guidance system. She doesn't even have access to the firing codes!"

007: "Even trade, Elliot! Gupta for Wai Lin! You can't fire the missile without him."
Elliot Carver: "And it seems you can't resist any woman in my possession."
Wai Lin: "What are you waiting for? Shoot him!"
007: "I told you, we're going to finish this together."
Elliot Carver: "Oh, how romantic. But do you realize how absurd your position is?"
007: "No more absurd than starting a war for ratings!"
Elliot Carver: "Great men have always manipulated the media. Look at Willaim Randolph Hearst, who told his photographers, 'you provide the pictures, I'll provide the war.' I've just taken it one step further."
007: (shoots a guard above him) "Sorry about that, I uh....tuned out there for a moment, Elliot."

A great sequence. Ultimate cyber-smack from a true computer geek. And Natalya's reaction is priceless.

While we're 'bigging up' Goldeneye, a lovely bit of post-modern self-referentialism from it -

Mishkin: 'Good morning! So, by what means shall we execute you?'

Bond: 'No small talk? No chit-chat? That's the trouble with the world today. No one takes the time to do a really sinister interrogation any more. It's a lost art!'.
