"Who said it's my first time..."

Ha-ha!  Great line from Craig's 007.  But, back in the day, WWII era, that could have occurred, stealthily of course.  So, I believed the line from that point of view, as opposed to the more modern take.

 

My fav.....the final line of..... "Ready 007?"

 

Boo-Yah!!

The only lines that I really felt were at all memorable:

 

 

Psychologist:  "M"

Bond:  "Bitch"

 

 

Mallory:  "Try not to cock it up"

Rather oddly, the first line to come to mind was "Don't cock it up", but there is certainly a treasure trove of possibilities already mentioned in this thread. Silva's opening monologue about the rats is brilliant, and probably as close as they've ever ventured to a chunk of Fleming inspired speech in a modern Bond movie.

 

Another line that always amuses me is: "Q's afraid of flying." "Of course he is." That's largely down to Craig's delivery, rather than a particularly outstanding piece of script though.

While I enjoyed the rat speech, it's a tad too long. It supposed to finish as Silva nears Bond, but because of the length of the speech Silva has to make a strange kind of shuffling walk to fit it all in, rather than the relaxed stroll that it should be. The delivery also requires that he walk directly to the camera, so he can't extend the time by stepping to either side or stopping for some mannerism. Otherwise a good speech.
