He might as well have asked: "Hey Bond, do you like drinking tea?"
Happily he didn't because Fleming hated tea :))
GOODHEAD: "It can go up to 20 Gs, but that would be fatal. Three Gs is equivalent to take-off pressure. Most people pass out at seven."
BOND: "You make a great saleswoman."
GOODHEAD: "You don't have to worry. This is what we call a "Chicken Switch". You just keep your finger on that button, the moment the pressure gets too much for you, release the button and the power's cut off.
BOND: "Just like that?"
GOODHEAD: "Come on, Mr. Bond. A 70-year-old can take 3 Gs."
BOND: "Well, the trouble is there is never a 70-year-old around when you need one."
No one delivers these lines quite as good as Roger Moore.
That's exactly why he's my favourite Bond.
Absolutely.
Moore's eyebrows both lifting as he hears Gloria Hendry's voice is priceless, it always throws me off the chair, howling mad in laughter.
"Oh, the snake. I forgot, I should have told you. You should never go in there without a mongoose."
Priceless! :))
For me, it's especially the text combined with his stiff upper lip and unbaffled expression that really brings it home. He doesn't stress the fact he's going to deliver a punch line - he lets it slip in, which makes it all the more effective.
Moore makes you smirk even in his non-Bond roles and without the specific quips/puns. He's just a natural at it. Just like Willis.
It was so evident when Dalton took over that Moore had something in this regard that they couldn't emulate. I even feel it with Craig, most notably in SP but also in SF ("circle of life"). It's all in the delivery. I've said before that Craig should stick to being sarcastic. It suits him better. He doesn't have 'quip' comedic timing or delivery imho.
In anyways, that's why I said the ones the writers suggested him to say didn't really work apart from the ones he came up with, like that Onatopp joke on the tree. That one worked very well.
And sorry about forgetting about that scene. My mind isn't functioning well right now. :))
I think that's one of the better moments of DAD.
"I take it you spend a lot of time in the saddle?"
"Yes...I love an early morning ride"
"well I'm an early riser myself"
Crap lines but a kid wouldn't (or shouldn't) automatically GET the sexual innuendo. It's delivered as if they were just having a normal conversation and the joke isn't emphasised.
There's also "she's just coming sir"
Broz almost says those sort of lines like he knows it's a bad joke. In fairness to him I'm not entirely sure you could say some of those lines he did in a straight way (the entire last scene of DAD).
You made me laugh, just reminding me of it. Great line!
"To the right, to the right"
Also 4:25-4:40 in this clip. So brilliantly acted.
Bond asks to see the Faberge egg up close then offers a look to his companion, Jim Fanning. The look on Jim's face is priceless as he's already gobsmacked that Bond has joined in the bid for it!
OP's finest scene in my opinion.
