Can anyone recall what Bond said right after the throwing of the knife in the chapel? I couldnt make it out! Thanks!

[JazzyBond]

I too was unsure but a fellow member told me "Last rat standing" in reference to Silva's rat speech earlier. I mistakenly thought Bond said last rites standing lol!

[Pussfeller]

Yeah, I didn't get that either. There were several lines that I couldn't make out, like M and Tanner's murmuring during the inquiry. At least it made narrative sense for those lines to be very quiet. The most annoying mumble was Bond's last line to Q in the gallery. Q says something like "Return the equipment in one piece", and then Bond mumbles something. And as much as I love Craig as an actor, it's not the first time he's sacrificed the intelligibility of a line for the sake of mumbly authenticity. He could give James Caan a run for his money. It's especially weird to mumble the last line in a scene, which is presumably some sort of comic punchline or dramatic sting that ought to be heard.

I didn't have any problems hearing the dialogue in SKYFALL. (Just to confirm, the line is "Last rat standing.")

[MarcAngeDraco]

Yes, "Last rat standing".

I don't recall Bond replying to the 'one piece' line, I'll have to pay particular attention to that scene when I see it again tomorrow.

" Brave new world."

"Brave new world."

"Brave new world."

Ah, yes I do recall that now...

In the National Gallery, I think the scene ends with Craig mumbling something along the lines of "Brave new world" in response to "Return the equipment in one piece".

[Casino007Royale2]

Thanks guys! Yeah, the only dialogue issue I had was with that line. I was expecting it because it was a Bond movie, and there generally is a line after he kills the baddie, and I missed it. Not bad, but not the funniest lne in the film for sure.

[JazzyBond]

Speaking of not being able to make out what was said, what did Silva shout out on numerous occasions outside of Skyfall? I made out one " can you come out to play" but he said alot more that I wasn't able to catch.

I have to say there was a massive difference between sound quality in the Imax showing I first attended and the subsequent 'standard' cinema I saw the film in second time round. The mumbling you identify, sadly, was present in both.....

There was one bit where he shouted into the house asking whether Bond was getting hot in there, not knowing that he had fled into the tunnel shortly before the house blew up.

[thecasinoroyale]

...I can confirm all those lines were said.

Good question...I could have sworn he made a quip right after throwing the knife and then the 'Last rat standing' comment comes at the end of that scene as Silva turns and staggers towards Bond and collapses.
However, I had eaten at least half a pound of sherbet sweets and a pint of Coke by then, so I could well be mistaken...

[thecasinoroyale]

No, Bond throws it and Silva then turns in agony. All we see is Bond catching his breath at the chapel door as Silva starts to walk towards him, where Bond meets him and going back to his earlier monologue about the 2 rats..."Last rat standing." Silva dies.

Spoiler

He does try a little cheeky response to M, but it's sad his world is shattered in that moment after he sees her wounded....

[JazzyBond]

I think M asks him what took him so long or where has he been or something like that and he says he was in deep water. Then he notices the wound.

"Everyone listen to me - don't you dare touch her! She's mine."
"Can your friend come out and say hello?"
"Are you getting warm?"
"Just make sure Bond's dead!"

[Iceskater101]

Aw Bond's reaction when he found out M was wounded is precious. M was like the mom that he never really had. :/ so sad.

[A Kristatos]

Ahh! We have a DAD reference here. Just like when Jinx asks Bond what took him so long after he rescued her from the ice hotel.

"Can your friend come out and say hello?"

"Just make sure Bond's dead!"

And as much as many would not want to hear this, we have a NSNA reference here:

Fatima Blush telling her henchmen not to touch Bond because "he's mine"!

I'll post these in the SF reference thread.
