What is the bit of script where Bond orders the "Vesper Martini"? Is the text online somewhere?

This sounds like a great drink! THE Bond drink! I loved the way DC gave his order.

From what I remember he says:


"A dry martini. Just a moment. 3 measures of Gordons, 1 of Vodka, half-measure Kina Lille, shake over ice and add a twist of lemon peel."


...I think...!

that's it. The recipe is straight from the book, if that's what you mean...

In The Book of Bond, Kingsley Amis suggested Lillet vermouth in place of Kina Lillet, saying that Fleming's original "is flavored with quinine and would be very nasty in a Martini." Wouldn't know myself, but I've always wondered if this was another area where Fleming's expertise had reached its limits.

Let me ask this differently. Is the movie script for "Casino Royale" available on line? Then I can search for the script myself. I am not interested in what might be in Fleming's book.

I loved how Leiter told the barman to "hold the fruit." Americans are so funny.
