James Bond

• [After placing Fiona's body in a chair after she is shot] Do you mind if my friend sits this one out? She's just dead.

• It looks very difficult. [Shooting from the hip, Bond shatters his clay pigeon] Why no, it isn't, is it!

Others

• Pat Fearing: [after strapping Bond to the motorized traction table] There, first time I've felt safe all day.

Dialogue

Miss Moneypenny: In the conference room. Something pretty big. Every double-o man in Europe has been rushed in. And the Home Secretary too.

Bond: His wife probably lost her dog.

M: I've assigned you to Station "C" Canada.

Bond: Sir, I'd respectfully request that you change my assignment to Nassau.

M: Is there any other reason, besides your enthusiasm for water sports?

[Bond shows M a picture of Dominique Derval, the Vulcan pilot's sister]

M: Do we know where she is now?

Bond: Nassau.

M: Do you think she's worth going after?

Bond: Well, I wouldn't put it quite like that, sir...

[As Q is showing Bond new gadgets]

Q: It is to be handled with special care!

Bond: Everything you give me...

Q: ...is treated with equal contempt. Yes, I know.

Pat Fearing: What exactly do you do?

Bond: Oh, I travel... a sort of licensed troubleshooter.

Fiona: Some men just don't like to be driven.

Bond: No, some men don't like to be taken for a ride.

Bond: [after making love to the evil Fiona Volpe] My dear girl, don't flatter yourself. What I did this evening was for King and country. You don't think it gave me any pleasure, do you?

Fiona: But of course, I forgot your ego, Mr. Bond. James Bond, the one where he has to make love to a woman, and she starts to hear heavenly choirs singing. She repents, and turns to the side of right and virtue... [she steps on Bond's foot] ... but not this one!

Bond: That gun, it looks more fitting for a woman.

Emilio Largo: You know much about guns, Mr. Bond?

Bond: No, but I know a little about women.
