This one was in the book From Russia With Love: 'And your mouth isn't too big. It's just the right size. For me, anyway.'

Another one of my favourite one-liners is:
Bond: "My name's Bond-"
Mr. Big: "Names are for tombstones, baby."

I'm not sure if Bond gets cut off, but I still wince when I hear that line, along with the one that freemo mentioned about Mr. Big. Also, from the same scene:
Mr. Big: "Is this that stupid mutha that trailed you uptown?" :)

Tomorrow Never Dies:
Q: "Listen here, talk here!"
007: "So, that's what I'm doing wrong all these years!"

The Living Daylights:
Kara: "What was that??"
007: "Salt corosion!"

The World Is Not Enough:
Cigar Girl: "Would you like to check my figures?"
007: "Ooh, I'm sure they are perfectly rounded."
The typical Sean Connery tough of Pierce Brosnan: "Perhaps you have failed to take into account myeeh HIDDEN ASSETS!"

Jog my memory please. Which film is this in?

This was in FRWL, after Bond destroys the SPECTRE helicopter. My favourite one-liner is "Oh, he blew a fuse," after Bond kills Oddjob.

Um....from TWINE:

Are you saying that is PB doing is best SC impersation....or this is a line where PB reminds you of SC or what? Yo soy mucho lost.

I think he just means that PB reminds him of SC when that line is spoken. For me, Pierce seems to come off sounding more like Dalton when he acts serious.

Anyway, favorite Line.

Well ****, just look at my signature :)

''Need I remind you 007, that you have a licence to kill, not to break the traffic laws.''
''I would'nt think of it''
The late, great Desmond Llewelyn and Pierce Brosnan in GE.
''My name is Pussy Galore''
''I must be dreaming''
007 and Pussy Galore in GF
one more:
''Shaken, not stirred, and you?''
'' The same.''

I think that scene shows us that even Sean Connery needs to pretend he's kissing a girls sometimes! ^_^

For Xenobia: Well, this line reminds me of Sean Connery. Look at his mouth when he says 'assets', and he had a bit that typical 'Sean Connery' accent in that line.

Carmen Electra? Since when was she in that movie? I think you mean Elektra King.

I wouldn't know what you would call this but anyway: In TWINE, when M is telling Bond about his assignment to look after Carmen Electra

M: Remember, shadows stay either in front or behind, never on top.

All of the new PB movies have similar references.

LALD - Bond, unarmed, is grabbed by two thugs who are instructed to 'waste him.' As he is being drug away, he says to Solitaire: "Now promise you'll stay right there... I shan't be long."

The one in my sig. Tiffany comes out wearing next to nothing and Bond simply goes "Well that's quite a nice little nothing you're almost wearing.

007 may be the king of one liners, but other people have said pretty witty comments too. Take Moneypenny, who had a good one-liner in Goldeneye:
''Goodnight James i trust you'll stay..On a top of things''
and M (Judi Dench):
''Sometimes M, i don't think you have the balls for this job''
''Prehaps, but the advantage is i don't have to think with them all the time''

"Toro? Sounds like a load of bull." from Octopussy

I know, no one else likes that line but me, but I think it's hilarious; every time I see it i chuckle b/c he's such a wise-:), there's no need for him to say it


I like that one a lot.

Also, from the novels:

Rene Mathis, From Russia With Love
'Eh bien The 70th position! Now, at last I have seen everything. And invented by an Englishman! James, this really is an insult to my countrymen.'


This is so ironic because no one except Rosa knows that Bond is going to die.

These are my favourites from the Bond eras:
Connery: ''I think he got the point.''
Lazenby: ''He has lots of guts.''
Moore: ''How does that grab you?''
Dalton: ''Watch the birdie you [cuss].''
Brosnan: ''No,no,no. No more fourplay...''
The last one has to be my favourite though :).
