Your most quoted Bond line in everyday life.

Behind you!Moderator
I find myself repeating Scaramanga's line "This is the part I really like!" on a daily basis.
Which Bond quote do you bring up all the time?

"there's a useful four letter word...and you're full of it!"
hasn't come up
Perhaps a line people THINK more than say.
Sometimes I like to jokingly say "yes Sir" when a woman gives me an instruction.
Yes, Bond doesn't want to use too much profanity, but in real life we would just say the word.
Someone says a long word
Your response:
"(insert word) huh...wow...now there's a mouthful" :))
Hmm...perhaps not
I say it to myself all the time, though I'm not sure why.
You don't say that about an ex and her new bf do you?
"Speak now or forever hold your piece!"
from DAF
and sometimes "Shocking. Positively shocking." It seems that if I say the word "shocking" in normal context of conversation, sometimes the rest pops automatically into my head! Sean is in my mind forever, it seems; other Bonds, too.
I can only hope you use it in the context from the film. You would be my hero, in this case.
Maybe one or two lines subconsciously slip out here and there but I really couldn't put a finger on what was said. Maybe 'Does it look like I give a Damn' being a prime example or even 'Switch the bloody machine off'
They smirked and walked away. One of the coolest moments of my life, as sad as that may be.
I thought that I had nothing to contribute to this thread but then I remembered that I used to use this line a lot in my late teens/early 20s. It's an odd, somewhat old-fashioned turn of phrase that people don't really use and it would often provoke an interested reaction in people when I used it. And it works far better than trying to be "cool" like saying "things are shaping up nicely" when meeting a girl (I'm so embarrassed that I tried using lines like that when I was 14).
