Could someone attach the script here please?

The simple answer is No - the reason? In the run up to Die Another Day, a fan who had gotten his hands on a copy of the script copied sections of the script onto one of the James Bond fan-site forums.

These sections got copy and paste'd. That's where the problem started, several sites were shut down, legal issues ensued, noone wants that again - thats why we paraphrase lines and if we do post any lines they are in the spoiler code - now I don't no the exact details, and I am hoping someone can post some more background to this James Bond fansite history

That's pretty much what happend. Three scenes were posted. The end of the VR scene with Bond and Q, Miranda Frost's briefing with M, and Moneypenny's VR scene. I don't know the particulars, but the after effects, CBN is very cautious about people posting images of any kind around here.

Back on topic, does anyone else find it bizarre how many times Bond drops his gun? Seems like four or five times at least. Anyway on a positive note, CR appears to have maintained it's fair share of "Bond Moves", both in the Parkour chase and at MIA. He displays a lot of quick thinking that helps him catch up to the bad guys, but he also makes some pretty stupid choices as well. But I suppose that's part of being a rookie, you don't always show good judgment, and even Bonds no exception.

I didn't notice the gun trouble, but yea, some thing's he should know better at - and he wont be making those mistakes again.

I just read the Madagascar action sequence again, he loses the gun when the bomber opens fire on him.

Speaking of said sequence, I really think this will be a highlight (this and the Miami sequence). I really hope Arnold is up to the task, because a great score will elevate these two action scenes into stuff of legend.

Wanted to add something else. Reading the script some more, and I got up to the point where Bond plays cards with Dimitrios. I really like the way the card game is shown to take place over a few hours. Really reminds me of Bond in the casino in OHMSS, no hurrying or all, Bond's just enjoying himself for a while, after the "hurry up lets go" attitude of the Brosnan films, it's nice to slow down every once in a while.

There is also a scene in Venice. I wonder how

Spoiler

he kills TALL MAN after losing his Walther

since the screenplay I read has no details.

I can just imagine putting on a fake Asian accent - "my hands are registered as a deadly weapon"

One of my favourite lines - man holds gun up to Bond's head, pulls trigger, Bond smiles - "learn to count"

[DamnCoffee]

Classic line. i love the conversation between bond and molakka:

Molaka: Whats your name i never get to know the names
Bond: The names Bond, whats yours
Molaka: Molaka
Bond: See you already had your answer (shoots molaka in chest)

I read the scene much like Vaux, so he didn't seem stupid to me. Does anyone else LOVE the PTS? It's short and sweet but it gets the point across that this is no joke. I think it's fantastic.

[JimmyBond]

I just reread that scene (that line in particular) and I dont think it makes Bond look stupid. If anything it makes Bond appear to be looking at the bigger picture, there really were no targets that would case turmoil "inside" the airport.

I love it. I like the way it's intercut between Bond's two kills. Certainly not a new trick as far as film is concerned, but something not seen in a Bond film before.

[DamnCoffee]

The PTS is fantastic i cant wait too see it on screen

[DamnCoffee]

Just been reading the script this morning and the Chemistry between Bond and Vesper is amazing IMO she will be the Best Bond girl yet

[Matt_13]

I agree, I just hope the dialogue has been cleaned up. I cringe every time I read that "perfectly formed " line. That's a DAD type of line. Other than that the chemistry should be fantastic.

Remind me? I cant place that line. what is ?

[Matt_13]

I suppose I'm going to have to answer this like a two year old because of the censors, but it's the "A" word.

[JCRendle]

ah yes - the could have been anything.

[Matt_13]

Yup, like or or even .

[JCRendle]

I was thinking more of or , but , and will do. Would have been hilarious if it was , but I doubt even EON would go there, still can still be changed.

WHAT THE ! I love this.

[JCRendle]

Any lines you think are going to become classics, and will be oft quoted? (vein of "Shocking" and "All those feathers").

[DanMan]

There's definetly a few in there. There very subtle and classy.

Umm... There's a ton of dialogue I love, but I'm having trouble picking out specific lines.

My favorite is probably, "The last thing one needs is a woman hanging on your gun arm."

I would have to go with the final line of the script. Even though the line itself is already classic, infact pretty much Bond's trademark line, the context and delivery of it in this film will remind us why it is.
