1) would have to be "you expecting someone else" from the GE trailer
2) "Welcome to hell Blofeld" from DAF

I try to interject a Bond line somewhere in my world at least once a day. Often, I may put a twist on one to fit a situation.

I mentioned one I did in another post somewhere.

The line I end up using (sadly more often than not) is from GE. Usually after a pretty girl says good bye or goodnight.

"the pleasure was all mine."

That and I have developed a habit of saying/asking "What's the score?"

One friend did comeback on that real fast with "Same as always James, Lions 7 - Christians zero..."

One that accidently slips from my mouth at work is "if they fires me I'll thank them for it". I usually mean it in context, but without the Bond reference. Then I can't help but laugh at myself.

That side, there are far too many quotes to choose from. But the one that sprang to mind as soon as I saw this thread was "He got the point"

"That's quite a nice little nothing you're almost wearing"

Never used it though.

Yeah Paul thats a good one. I also like "That looks particularly inviting."
And another classic I like using is "ah she found your technique to violent." (you can substitute *my* for *your* as the situation arises)

One of my favorites is from GE

"You're late."
"Had to stop in the bathroom."

Brosnan delivers his witty lines with such mock solemnity

From TMWTGG: "Yes, well, it is a little kinky..." (something like that) (The situations when this can legitimately arise can be all too few, alas. So I have it "arising" (oo-er)(yawn) anywhere, anytime)

Anything from Diamonds Are Forever, possibly the funniest Bond film ever. The line when Connery comes out of the pipe is especially funny.

Not many mention MWTGG I think its the wittiest - when in the night club fight, Bond swallows the girls charm from her navel....

GIRL
Oh, I've lost my charm.

BOND
Not from where I'm standing!

When Bond on a night stroll comes into contact with what he thought and we thought were mock sumo-wrestlers. They move off their podiums and Bond not wanting to come across as surprised says;

Bond
A pleasent evening!

My favorite line remains "I think my mouth is too big." / "It's just the right size...for me, that is."

One of the raciest lines they ever got away with, especially considering the era!

Bond: "That gun. Looks more fitting for a woman."
Largo: "You know a lot about guns, Mr. Bond?"
Bond: "No. I know a little about women."

Perhaps my favorite.

End scene with Bond & Goodnight when M rings them on the boat both are in lust mode - Goodnight getting more worked up, M getting fed up on the other side of the line waiting on her, he asks;

M
Goodnight?

Bond
She's just coming, sir!

End of MWTGG as M keeps asking for Goodnight.

M
Goodnight? Are you there?..........................Goodnight?

- Bond reaches for the phone reciever and says;

Bond
Good night, sir!

MOORAKER has without doubt the best line ever to end a Bond film;

Q
I think he's attempting re-entry, sir!

{on the audio commentary region 1 dvd when that line comes up Christopher Wood/Lewis Gilbert/William Cartlidge and Michael Wilson burst out laughing!}

In Moonraker, when moore throws chang through the stained glass window in the tower, and chang falls to his death and lands in a piano, moore quips: "Play it again, Sam."

The "nice little nothing" line is a great one and (happily) I've had one or two occasions to use it.

I like Connery's line to Lois Maxwell (whispered seductively into her ear): "Let me tell you the secret of the world." If memory serves, this is a line in DR. NO.

I think it sounds impossibly sexy and exotic, although quite what it means is anyone's guess. It's BS, but superbly entertaining BS.

In everyday life, I love saying the line: "Hm. Interesting role model." And of course, "The pleasure, I'm sure, was all mine." My friend and I also have a tendency to say the line: "Balls, Q?" "Bolas, 007." Don't know why we say it, but we always crack up after.

For me it's the climax of Goldfinger. Goldfinger surprisingly appears in the lear jet w/the golden revolver. The look on Connery's face is priceless- a look of surprise we won't see again until "Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade."

Bond composes himself and utters the classic line:

"Congratulations on your, uh promotion Goldfinger. Are you going to the White house too?"

Second Place:

LTK: Franz Sanchez- a villan who gets the best lines in this series, to El Presidente of Isthmus.

"Remember, you're only President for life."

Since Kingdom Come and I share our favorite lines from TMWGG, I will give my second choice from GE:

"I have had a wonderful time. You will understand if I don't call."

I frequently say that when leaving the office after a bad day.

This is tough to decide. I would almost have to watch every movie and take notes! I would have to say my favorite might be when M, Gogol, and the Misister of Defense find Bond and Anya in the capsule at the end of Spy.
Minister: "Bond, what the hell are you doing?"
Bond: Why, keeping the British end up sir."

One of my many favourites that makes me laugh every time I hear it is Moore's:

"Women drivers."

No offence to any of the women out there. I just loved how Roger delivers it after Jaws pushes the vehicle into the wall in TSWLM. The way that he said it, was what made it perfect.

From Thunderball, "Some men just don't like to be taken for a ride." I'd have to say that's my fave.

I also love in Goldfinger when he says "Lovely sport."

humm i love to use the Bond lines at school, problem is its Christian school so sometime their out of place,
such as,

"Keeping the British end up,"-Been slapped several times for that one.
"Wait untill, you get to my teeth."-2-slaps,

The odds..
"I see you don't have dreams you live them."
and the follow up..."I don't sleep so i have to live my dreams."
"I don't know who it was, but i sacred the living daylights out of it"-Verys..

more...everydayer's
"Yeah well, we live to Die Another Day."
"yeah will see about that."

"Theirs one critical element i over looked here...(Verys to situation)"
"Players privlilge."
"Got your attention?"
"Expecting Davidof? He caught a bullet instead of a plan (Verys)

Classics....leave these for princples office or other trouble areas..
"Stuff my orders! i don't need this job anways."
"The same person who set me up before has just set me up again, and this time...I'm going after them."
"The Mission was comprmized"
"Somebody'll wish the day had never happened.."

Oh so many so little time,
hehe

seeing as SOMEONE beat me to that "i think he's attempting re-entry, sir" line, how about the bit from TSWLM when bond and xxx are escaping from jaws in the van - all of roger's lines are sooooooo mysoginistic (but soooo funny!!) not one of my all time faves, but i like "all those feathers and he still can't fly" :)

Graves has some classic lines:

"The Pleasure of the Kill is in the chase."

"Plenty of time to sleep when your dead."

And then the 006 greats:

"Ready to save the world again?"

"For Engalnd, James?"


"Half of everything is luck, James."
"And the other half?"
"Fate."

AND MY FAVOURITE:

006: "For England, James?"
007: "No... for me."
