Skyfall had some of the greatest lines in Bond film history! What are some of your favourites?

[x007AceOfSpades]

"Welcome To Scotland", "...Last Rat Standing"

[AMC Hornet]

"M?"

"Bitch."

[seawolfnyy]

That's okay, you weren't using it.

[kerimgrant]

Has to be the obviouly great one-"Some men are coming to kill us. We're going to kill them first". Not just the best line in Skyfall, but one of the the best lines  in any movie ever.

 

I also liked Silva's line, "She sent you after me, knowing you're not ready, knowing you would likely die. Mommy was very bad".

[seawolfnyy]

What makes you think this is my first time?

[Guy Haines]

Q, handing over Bond's new "Christmas present" - "Not so much a random killing machine, more a personal statement"

 

Q (again) - " I dare say I can do more damage with my computer sitting in my pyjamas before my first cup of Earl Grey than you can do after a year in the field"

 

Bond - "Then why do you need me?"

 

Q - "Because every now and then, a trigger has to be pulled."

 

Bond - "Or not pulled. It's hard to know. In your pyjamas."

 

And one of my favourites, as Bond arrives in M's new office - pointing at the bulldog - "The whole office goes up in smoke, and yet somehow that bloody thing survived!"

[plankattack]

"Day"

"Wasted."

[Matt_13]

" Put it all on red."

[x007AceOfSpades]

"Do you know what hydrogen cyanide does?"

[Double-0-Seven]

Bond getting smart with Silva after Silva had dismissed Q Branch's gadgets:

 

"The latest from Q Branch... it's called a radio!"

Then later when Silva twists that:

"Here's something from my toy store... it's called... radio!"

[seawolfnyy]

Not bad, not bad James, for a physical wreck!

[glidrose]

The brilliant rat-infested island monologue. One of the greatest intros for a villain in Bond or any series. A brilliant, thought-provoking monologue, so easily quotable. A true cinema classic moment.

[achille]

James Bond: The whole office goes up in smoke and that bloody thing survives.
M: I've always valued your advice on interior decorations, 007.

[thecasinoroyale]

Straight off the top of my head...

 

"Take the shot."

 

"M?" "Bitch."

 

"Oh, Mister Bond!"

 

"Oh good...there's a train coming."

 

"Try and stop me you jumped up little sh*t."

 

 

So many great ones, as you've all mentioned too!

Agreed. I particularly enjoyed how Silva enunciates the line "you have changed their nature..". But yeah, overall just a brilliant scene.

My ultimate favorite is probably: "Murder?" -  "Employment." Much of his character in one just this one line.

Bond "Are you going to complain the whole way?"

M "Oh go on then, eject me. See if I care."

[AgenttiNollaNollaSeitsemän]

M(allory): So, 007, lot's to be done. Are you ready to get back to work?

Bond: With pleasure, M. With pleasure.

[seawolfnyy]

Kincade "Now remember what I talk you, don't let it spring to the left."

Bond "I'll do my best." (shoots both pieces of China)

Kincade "What is it you said you did for a living?"

[sharpshooter]

Bond: In your defense, a moving target is harder to hit. 

Eve: Then you'd better keep moving. 

 

Silva: Do you see what comes of all this running around, Mr. Bond? All this jumping and fighting, it's exhausting! Relax. You need to relax... Ah well, mother's calling. I will give her a good-bye kiss for you. 

[S K Y F A L L]

Favorite Lines; 

 

"What did you expect, an exploding pen?"

 

"For her eyes only."

 

"S***, S***, S***! How did he get in?"

 

I also like Silva's intro monologue. 

 

Least Favorite;

 

"The latest thing from Q branch; called a radio."

 

"What do you know about fear?"

 

"Resurrection. " That's not really a hobby, is it?

[seawolfnyy]

Eve "You said it yourself, field work's not for everyone."

Bond "Well I feel a lot safer."

[Forward Look]

Q: "So much for my promising career in espionage."

[Stainless Steel Teeth INC]

Mallory: For the sake of variety, perhaps we can let the witness speak?

 

Not so much a classic line of dialogue in itself but its delivery was pitch perfect and for me a defining moment in establishing Mallory in our eyes as someone with a strong moral centre and a person to respect.

[Iceskater101]

"M?"

"Bitch."

That's definitely one of my favorite quotes.

[Forward Look]

It suggested a hint of a promising future for the Mallory character, but even I didn't know what it would be the first time I saw it. Granted, Ralph Fiennes is no Bernard Lee, but he's trying to imitate him.

[thecasinoroyale]

I loved that line too, showed a clear moment of his respect for M, but also the Service in question and he's got great potential as a more world-weary but strong-minded head of Double-0 section for Craig's Bond.

[Sean Moore]

What was that line Albert Finney spoke to Bond when his back was turned? It wasn't very complimentary. Does anyone know the line?

 

I need to see the film a second time, perhaps later this week.

 

My observations on the film, written for those who have already seen it, is posted right here

Not so much a great line as a nice moment. Of course the politician is a pompous sanctimonious self-righteous windbag who loves the sound of her own voice (clearly a Labour party member) that it's nice Mallory sticks up for M. Shame though Mallory's part is so underwritten (like too much in this film).

Well, the way I look at it, he'll have his chance in future films. This one was more about Dench's M; we'll get to see lots more of Fiennes' M down the road. I liked the fact that we didn't have a lot of stuff spoonfed to us. To my way of thinking, that's not underwriting, but leaving a fair bit to the audience's imagination. IMO, we don't get nearly enough of that in the major films these days (though it's the bread and butter of most independent films).
