The above is my favourite from TB...

To me TB has the best dialogue in the series. In addition to being genuinely funny, the dialogue is also witty and clever. Vastly superior to the punny, single-entendre lines of the Moore and Brosnan years.

It's personal preference but I also love how so many of the lines are delivered in a dry, matter-of-fact way. I'm hoping that this is the style of humour that we'll see in SF - Craig's delivery is well-suited to it. To me you never go wrong playing up to your audience as opposed to playing down to them.

"Mr Yanni.Mr Vargas. You may recognise Mr Vargas from the other night Vargas does not drink, Does not smoke. What do you do Vargas? [Vargas looks away embarassed]

[Largo puffs on cigar] "My dear your body has given me much pleasure now unless you do not tell me who gave you that little toy I will be forced to cause you much pain. This for heat. This for cold. Applied scientifically and slowly...very very slowly.."

"I've come to offer my most sincere condolences" *punches colonel* "my dear colonel (I forget his name), you really shouldn't have opened that car door by yourself"

It's Jacques Bouvier @thelivingroyale

As for me, hardly anything beats:
James Bond: Do you mind if my friend sits this one out? She's just dead.

And Sean's face during it is awesome!

Miss Moneypenny: In the conference room - something pretty big; every double-o man in Europe has been rushed in. And the Home Secretary, too!
James Bond: His wife probably lost her dog.

Bond: It looks very difficult.
[Shooting from the hip, Bond shatters his clay pigeon]
Bond: Why no, it isn't, is it!

Pat Fearing: Funny-looking bruise. A fall?
James Bond: A poker, in the hands of a widow.
Pat Fearing: Really? I'd have thought you were just the type for a widow.
James Bond: Not this one. He didn't like me at all.

I forgot how many hilarious quotes TB has. I really need to stop neglecting it.

Kerim

James Bond: My dear girl, don't flatter yourself. What I did this evening was for Queen and country. You don't think it gave me any pleasure, do you?
Fiona: But of course, I forgot your ego, Mr. Bond. James Bond, the one where he has to make love to a woman, and she starts to hear heavenly choirs singing. She repents, and turns to the side of right and virtue...... but not this one!

James Bond: Do you mind if my friend sits this one out? She's just dead.

James Bond: Sir, I'd respectfully request that you change my assignment to Nassau.
M: Is there any other reason, besides your enthusiasm for water sports?

Felix Leiter: Well, hello Double-Oh...

Bond: You should be locked up in a cage.
Fiona: Mmm... this bed feels like a cage, all these bars. Do you think I will be - safe?

Domino: I'm glad I killed him.
James Bond: You're glad?

Largo: "Where did you get that, my dear? Give it to me."
Domino: "No, why should I?"
(Geiger counter camera falls onto floor, makes noise indicating radioactivity)
Largo: "I see Mr. Bond has given you this toy. And Vargas is dead!! Like your friend, you have been a little too clever, and now you are caught!"

EDIT (thought I'd add some others to avoid double posting)

Fiona Volpe: "You would like Bond dead?"
Largo: "I can think of no better arrangement."
Fiona Volpe: "Because he tries to make love to your woman?" (flicks cigarrette)
Largo: "Because he is Bond. And as an enemy of SPECTRE, he should be killed."
Fiona Volpe: "If Bond had died last night as a result of your hastiness, his government would have known for certain that the bombs were here. When the time is right, he shall be killed. I shall kill him!"
(Largo gives a nasty look)

007: "Yes, I thought I saw a, spectre, at your shoulder."
Largo: "What makes you say that?"
007: "The spectre of defeat....that your luck was due to change."
Largo: "Yes well, we'll see about that."
007: "It's your spectre against mine."
Largo: "You wish to put the evil eye on me, eh? We have a way to deal with that...where I come from."

007: (sees Q) "Oh no."
Q: "Hello 007!"

Q: "It closes to a convenient pocket size."
007: "Yes, assuming one has a convenient pocket."

"-Any time James, any place.
- Another time, another place."

"Well... can't win them all"

Also all the messages from Blofeld, begining by: "My dear Prime Minister..."

Great script, great movie!

He always runs while others walk
He acts while other men just talk.
He looks at this world, and wants it all,
So he strikes, like Thunderball.
He knows the meaning of success.
His needs are more, so he gives less.
They call him the winner who takes all.
And he strikes, like Thunderball.

Any woman he wants, he'll get.
He will break any heart without regret.
His days of asking are all gone.
His fight goes on and on and on.
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all.
So he strikes like Thunderball

Q: "Well obviously you....swallow it.."
James Bond: "Now..?"

[After pushing the brush handle through the steam bath door that Lippe is sitting in]
James Bond: "Now don't worry, I'll tell the chef."

Finally, TB gets the respect it deserves. AWESOME film.

OHMSS69

Fiona Volpe "Aren't you in the wrong room?"

Bond "Not from where I'm standing."

CommanderRoss

Bond: Do I seem healthy to you?
Pat Fearing: Too healthy, by far.

James Bond: That gun, it looks more fitting for a woman.
Emilio Largo: You know much about guns, Mr. Bond?
James Bond: No, but I know a little about women.

Q: It is to be handled with special care!
James Bond: Everything you give me...
Q: ...is treated with equal contempt. Yes, I know.

Yep, Thunderball rocks!

Angelo Palazzi: "Make it a quarter of a million, or get someone else."
Count Lippe: "There is no one else."
Angelo Palazzi: "Exactly. I am Derval."
Fiona Volpe: (seeing Lippe's silenced pistol) "Put that away. I will inform Number 1 that we have made a new arrangement. (handing Palazzi the money envelope) This is merely a down payment."

For me TB is the film with the best one liners in the series. There are SO many greats, enough to fill at least two films.

My favourite one is probably "Do you mind if my friends sits this one out? She's just dead."

Outstanding delivery and acting by SC. No other Bond actor, no other actor, could have delivered that line as well in my view.

00Beast

007: "Somebody's gonna wish that had never happened."
Pat: "You wouldn't tell Dr. (something) would you? I could lose my job!"
007: "Well, I suppose my silence could come at a price."
Pat: "You don't mean.....ohhhh no!"
007: "Ohhhh yes..."

DB5

(Bond sets alarm goes off)
Someone in health spa- "What's going on?"
Bond- "I don't know, could it be the front doorbell?"
Pat Fearing- "No, it most certainly could not."(To Bond) "Haven't you had enough activity for one night?"

Baltimore_007

I haven't seen Thunderball for such a long time, the last (furthest back) watched of all the Bond releases for sure, so this may be difficult, even though I've seen it so many times before

'Now you can tell about the one that got away'

'I thought I saw the spectre of defeat'

'Of course, Vargas doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't make love, doesn't do this and that etc'

'Some men don't like to be taken for a ride'

'Do you mind if my friend sits this one out, she's just dead'

'At this moment, rather him than me'

'See you later Irrigator'

CraigMooreOHMSS

Is it my imagination, or do some releases omit the "You can tell of the one that got away" line?

I watched Thunderball last week, and I'm almost certain that in the version I have, Bond only says, "Sorry old boy, better luck next time." Then it cuts away.

But everyone seems to be quoting this line here, it's annoying me that I can't remember it!

Mine must omit that first line, because I've never heard that one before! And yes, I'm pretty sure my Special 007 Edition version of Thunderball has him saying that "better luck" line and then cuts away to the hotel where he tells Pinder that Paula is dead. Somebody once had a video up showing that there was an additional line added in some releases to the scene where Felix and Bond are flying over the Golden Grotto, and apparantly Felix has an additional line about the sharks that sounds like the voice of the guy who plays Pinder! It was really creepy!

"I thought I saw a specter at your shoulder."

"You wish to put the evil eye on me eh? We have a way to deal with that where I come from."

"You may hex me let's see what it does for the cards."

"The way you....hold me."

"His wife's probably lost her dog."

"Well. Now that we're all here."

"Do you think she's worth going after?"

"I wouldn't put it quite that way sir."

Virtually all of the Bond/Fiona dialogue.

DB5

Largo- "But I forget. Vargas does not smoke. Vargas does not drink. Vargas does not make love. What do you do Vargas?"

PrinceKamalKhan

"I know a little about women." reused of course by Lazenby in OHMSS

00Beast

Largo: "Every man has his passion. Mine is fishing. What is yours, Mr. Bond?"
007: "Well I'm not what you'd call a passionate man."
Domino: (seeing 007 and Largo look over) "I think it's time I went to change."

A couple more days for our favourite lines from Thunderball, and then we'll move onto You Only Live Twice.

Thats going to be tough as apart from "James Bond, They told me you were asssassinated in Hong Kong.." exchange YOLT isnt strong on dialogue its more action orientated.

00Beast

007: "Moneypenny, next time I see you, I'll put you across my knee."
Moneypenny: "On yougurt and lemon juice? Haha, I can hardly wait!"
Thankfully @Agent005 explained the quote above on another thread some time back. Now I get it, and it's hilarious!

007: "Some things really burn you up on the roads these days."

Paula Caplan: "Well it's not what I'd call contact....but I'll pass it through to London that you've seen the girl."

Domino Derval: "It's going to be impossible if his luck doesn't change."
007: "Somehow I don't think it will."

Felix Leiter: "Fine way to treat the CIA!"
007: "Sorry about that Felix, but you were just about to say 007."

DB5

Largo is about to shoot Bond, then Domino shoots Largo with the spear gun.

Domino- "I'm glad I killed him."

Bond- "You're glad?"

"Dont worry,i'll tell the chef..."
and:

"I dont know,could it be the front door bell".....classics...

4EverBonded

I am getting Thunderballed out, so yeah let'(s move on soon; thanks.

TB's not one of my favorites. I guess my fav line is Domino and Bond as mentioned several times by others: "I'm glad I killed him." "You're glad?!"
