Thanks @IncompetentHenchman
Cannot for the life of me understand the love for this tedious p.o.s
"Go blow up your pants...."
Inspiring stuff....
Yes, you got me on that one.
I was thinking more along the lines of Blofeld and Bond's dialogue, although Tiffany did get a good line which was something about 'The 3 pigs guarding the big bad wolf'.
Also Wint & Kidd get some humdingers.
It really does have some exceptional dialogue.
"I'm afraid you caught me with more than my hands up."
"Like any sensible animal she's threatening only when she's threatened."
"Providing the collars and cuffs match..."
And that's only three examples, so far.
Mr. Wint: But of course. Unfortunately our cellar is poorly stocked with clarets.
James Bond: Mouton Rothschild IS a claret. And, I've smelled that aftershave before; and both times I've smelled a rat.
James Bond: (about diamonds) Well, hardest substance found in nature, they cut glass, suggest marriage, I suppose they replaced the dog as the girl's best friend. That's about it.
M: Refreshing to hear that there is one subject you're not an expert on!
Bond (talking to a rat) Well one of us smells like a tart's handkerchief. And I'm afraid it's me old boy.
Leiter: I give up. I know the diamonds are in the body, but where?
Bond: Alimentary, Dr. Leiter...
Goon: The stiff..er deceased back there. Your brother?
Bond: Yes, it was.
Goon: I got a brudder
Bond: Small world.
I do like the 'Plenty O'Toole' line
Its just the whole film has a jokey tone that coming after the Flemingesque OHMSS just makes you realize what could have been.
Needless to say DAF is bottom of my Bond pile
Love Barry's score though.
The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker on the other hand...
:)) Now, that's very witty AND funny!
Otherwise DAF is exceptional alright, exeptionly bad.
I'll take "Named after your father perhaps?" over "you know what I can do with my little finger" any day.
Bond: Is Mr Case not at home?
Tiffany: There is no Mr Case. The T is for Tiffany.
Bond: Tiffany Case? Definitely distinctive.
Tiffany: I was born there, on the first floor, while my mother was looking for a wedding ring.
Bond: I'm glad for your sake it wasn't Van Cleef and Arpels.
Yes, this is my favourite dialogue in the film. Up until the Brosnan era, DAF was my least favourite Bond film. I don't dislike it but I never thought that it was up there with the rest of them, that is, until the Brosnan films hit the screen. I have always enjoyed the dialogue though.
It was all a bit "into to face" for my taste. But I agree to the witty lines and I like the overall plot I must say. If it would be played down a bit more plus a better finale it would rank much higher for me. Many classic Bond lines from this movie for sure!
Better than "I'm sorry... that last hand nearly killed me", "Is this what you really want? Living in the shadows, hunting, being hunted, always alone?", "When one is young it seems very easy to distinguish between right and wrong [...]" (this one comes straight from Fleming), "I wish I could set you free, but your prison is in there", "You're a kite dancing in a hurricane", "Everything you've ever stood for, everything you believed in, a ruin", "A grand old war ship, being ignominiously hauled away for scrap", "You do what I do long enough, there won't be any soul left to salvage" and so on?
Say what you want, but Daniel Craig era featured beautiful dialogues, definitely among the best in the series.
The fun now is watching to see the paths this thread takes... it's now like a catch all until we get anything on B25.
It's actually a great movie except for the editing, and my second fave Craig Bond after SP.
