Our post the other day about nominations for best lines from James Bond movies drew five responses. So here’s some of the feedback we got for additions plus a few we added.
The World Is Not Enough
James Bond: The world is not enough.
Elektra King: Foolish sentiment.
James Bond: Family motto.
Die Another Day
Q (following virtual reality exercise): Very good, 007, though killing M. was certainly not part of the exercise.
Bond: I think if you examine the replay Q, you’ll see M. suffered only a
flesh wound.
Diamonds Are Forever
Plenty O’Toole: Hi, I’m Plenty!
Bond: But of course you are!
Plenty: Plenty O’Toole!
Bond: Named after your father, perhaps?
(later after Bond coolly demonstrates his expertise at the crap table.)
Plenty: Say, you’ve played this game before!
Bond: Just once.
(still later when Bond has finally entered Blofeld’s lair at an abandoned oil well)
Blofeld: At present, the satellite is over…Kansas. Well, if we destroy Kansas, the world may not heard about it for years.
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
(at end of the pre-credits sequence)
Bond: This never happened to the other fella!
(during ski chase)
Blofeld: We’ll head him off at the precipice!
Dr. No
(Bond arrives in a car, with a corpse in the back seat, at Government House)
Bond: Seargeant, make sure he doesn’t get away.”
(Bond to Miss Taro)
Bond: Forget it. I’m feeling Italian and musical.
(Bond and Honey just before meeting Dr. No)
Honey: I’m glad your hands are sweating too.
Bond: Of course, I’m scared too.
From Russia With Love
Grant: The first one won’t kill you. Not the second. Not even the third. Not until you crawl over here and you kiss my foot!
