    007: "My name is Bond, James Bond"

    Max Kalba: "What of it?"

    That's a great line on multiple levels. A bit of taking the piss on the smarmy Bond, James Bond introductions. And fortunately they didn't go the route of some random nightclub owner knowing who James Bond is.

    "How do you kill 5 hours in Rio of you don't Samba?"

    I will definitely use it if I go there.

    It certainly is. Lonsdale is the best thing about that movie for me. He really delivers on all his lines.

    Yes, also this:

    "Take good care of Mr. Bond. See that some harm comes to him."

    Yep, I love it and the delivery is brilliant. Makes me chuckle every time.

    Ah yes, how could I forget that one. Excellent line.

    "Mr. Bond, you appear with tedious inevitability of an unloved season."

    Lonsdale is a great, sometimes forgotten actor: I loved him on Day Of The Jackal, and does a good performance with Connery on The Name Of The Rose. However, late F. Murray Abraham steals the spotlight there.

    "Expel them!"

    F. Murray Abraham would be very surprised to hear he is dead.

    Thought I'd bump this one up to see if any one has any other lines or whether the original poster would like to move on to the next movie?

    Sometimes words not spoken can be as good.

    In Rio, there is this scene when Jaws is walking towards the camera from afar in this long and narrow street to get Manuela.

    His interaction with poor Manuela is gripping and intense, especially because there is no word spoken between them. One of my favourite scenes of the franchise.

    Okay then, time to move on. Plenty of really good lines in this film.
    Some choice ones would be :

    Hugo Drax: Mr. Bond, you persist in defying my efforts to provide an amusing death for you.


    [Bond and Drax are shooting pheasants]

    Hugo Drax: You missed, Mr. Bond.

    [a sniper falls from a tree]

    James Bond: Did I?


    Hugo Drax: Look after Mr. Bond. See that some harm comes to him.


    Dr. Holly Goodhead: You know him?

    James Bond: Not socially. His name's Jaws, he kills people.


    [Bond dangles from a cable car a thousand feet up]

    Dr. Holly Goodhead: Hang on, James!

    James Bond: The thought had occurred to me.


    Miss Moneypenny: James! But, why are you so late?

    James Bond: I fell out of an airplane without a parachute. Who's in there?

    Miss Moneypenny: Q and the Minister of Defense.

    James Bond: You don't believe me do you?

    Miss Moneypenny: No. And you should go right in.


    Hugo Drax: Frederick Gray! What a surprise. And in distinguished company, all wearing gas masks. You must excuse me, gentlemen, not being English, I sometimes find your sense of humor rather difficult to follow!


    Dr. Holly Goodhead: Come on, Mr. Bond. A 70-year-old can take 3 G's.

    James Bond: Well, the trouble is there's never a 70-year-old around when you need one.


    And of course...

    Sir Frederick Gray, Minister of Defence: My God, what's Bond doing?

    Q: I think he's attempting re-entry, sir.


    And with that, let's move onto For Your Eyes Only

    Bibi: Him? He thinks I'm still a virgin.
    James Bond: Yes. Well, you get your clothes on... and I'll buy you an ice cream.

    Always makes me laugh.

    Yeah, that was funny.

    For a more intense line, I liked Bond saying "You left this with Ferrara, I believe" to Locque. The line itself is hardly intimidating, but Moore completely sells it with an understated menace.
  • Best Lines:

    "You left this with Ferrara I believe."
    "That's putting it mildly 007."
    "And one woman."

    The worst line:
    "I'll buy you a delicatessen! In stainless steel!"
    ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    "That's putting it mildly, 007" really needs to be put in its proper context for maximum effect. Bond steps into a confessional and opens with the traditional, "Bless me father, for I have sinned." Q reveals himself to be disguised as a priest in the adjoining section of the confessional booth; peeling off his beard he replies, "That's putting it mildly, 007." It IS a great line, but particularly so because of the context.

    The stainless steel delicatessen is so bad BECAUSE of the fact that we have no idea what it really means. It was an in-joke, Cubby Broccoli putting the needle to Kevin McClory.

    Quite right about putting quotes into context. It is the same with many quotes.

    I think the whole FYEO PTS was an in-joke, really a big middle finger to McClory.

    Bond: The Chinese have a saying: Before setting off on revenge, you first dig two graves.

    Melina: I don't expect you to understand, you're English, but I'm half Greek and Greek women like Elektra always avenge their loved ones.

    That's detente, comrade; You don't have it, I don't have it.

    Bond: A nose, Q, not a banana.

    "You were supposed to question Gonzales, not let Miss Havelock perforate him!"

    "Courage is no match for an unfriendly shoe, Countess...."


    "I'm a good judge of man. You have what the Greeks call thrausos - guts!"

    Short line but after one of Kristatos' men ends up in the water after they've captured 007 & Melina, sharks are circling and he just says "Ah, leave him", then goes on to say "Turn, run them down".

    Well it's been a year since we last ventured into this thread. No reason why we can't reinvigorate it methinks.

    Yet another quote laden film. A few choice picks would be...

    Bibi: Him? He thinks I'm still a virgin.
    James Bond: Yes. Well, you get your clothes on... and I'll buy you an ice cream.


    James Bond: If I don't report in by tomorrow, not only will my people, but the entire Greek police, will come down on you like a load of bricks.
    Columbo: By tomorrow, we'll be good friends. Let us drink to that.
    James Bond: I'll wait until tomorrow.


    Columbo: I'm here, Mr. Bond of the British Secret Service. But I'll tell you it is Kristatos you want, NOT me. He told you about himself. He's the one with the powerful connections. Locque works for him, not me. I smuggle, yes. I smuggle gold, diamonds, cigarettes, pistachio nuts... but no heroin.


    Melina: I didn't think it would end like this.
    James Bond: We're not dead yet. Hold tight.


    James Bond: Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
    Q: That's putting it mildly, 007!


    And with that, let's move on to Octopussy

    Yep. So politically incorrect these days it always raises a chuckle.

    Also:

    "You have a nasty habit of surviving"
    "That's my little octopussy"
    "and what have you learned?... Well my back hand has improved"

    etc...

    That should keep you in curry for a few weeks.

    Indians eat curry = fact. Saying 'Roast Beef' to an Englishman would be seen totally acceptable, and this is the same.

    "Double six, fancy that"
  • "Fill her up please!"

    "Mister Bond is indeed a very rare breed"

    "And it doesn't give a damn to you I suppose that thousands of innocent people will be killed, in that accident of yours"

    "But tomorrow, I shall be a hero of the Soviet Union"

    "You left me to be killed, along with thousands of innocent people"
    "Octopussy...Octopussy"

    "He'll kill us all, go out, and get him"
    "Out There?"
    "Go!"
