'Are you having lunch with the president too'
'Where's Goldfinger?', 'Playing his Golden harp'
'That's as bad as listening to the Beatles without ear muffs'
'Now Pussy, you know a lot more about planes than guns. That's a Smith and Wesson 45, and if you fire at me at this close range, the bullet will pass through me and the fuselage like a blow torch through butter. The cabin will depressurize, and we'll both be sucked into outer space together. If that's how you want to enter the United States, you're welcome. As for me, I prefer the easy way'
'I would say it was a 30 year old fine indifferently blended sir, with an overuse of bon bois'
'A beautiful animal I think', 'Certainly better bred than it's owner'
'At least they won't be using heroin flavored bananas to finance revolutions'
'Run along, it's man talk' (slap)
007: "Bond...James Bond." (cue the theme music)
007: "Now hear this Goldfinger, your luck has just changed. I doubt very much if the Miami Beach Police would take kindly to what you're doing."
Felix Leiter: "You okay, James? Where's your butler friend?"
007: "Oh, he blew a fuse."
007: "I would say it was a 30 year old fine indifferently blended sir, with an overdose of bon bois."
M: "Colonel Smithers is giving the lecture, 007."
M: "Gold...all over?"
007: "Yes, it's been known to happen to caberet dancers. It's all right as long as you leave a small patch at the base of the skin to allow the skin to breathe."
M: "Well someone obviously didn't."
007: "And I know who."
M: "This is an assignment, 007, like any other. If you can't treat it so, coldly and objectively, then 008 can replace you."
007: "No, sir. I shall continue this assignment in the spirit you suggest...if I knew what it was about...sir."
M: "What do you know about gold? Not paint, bullion."
007: "Well I know it when I see it."
M: "Meet me here at 7...black tie."
007: "What are you doing here?"
Tilly Masterson: "I want to kill him!"
007: "Who?"
Tilly Masterson: "Goldfinger!"
007: "Well I want him alive."
Tilly Masterson: "I want him DEAD! He killed my sister."
007: "Wait...T.M., Tilly Masterson. I knew your sistser Jill and what he did to her in Miami."
Tilly Masterson: "No you don't, let me go!"
007: "Well if you wanted him dead why did you shoot at me?"
Tilly Masterson: "I didn't, I was shooting at him!"
007: "Well you're a lousy shot...(BANG!)...but someone else around here isn't! Come on!"
"You can turn off the charm...I'm immune"
"isnt it customary to grant a condemned man his last request?"
"Pussy?!" (when Bond finds her in the coc...pilot cabin ;) )
"I must be dreaming"
That's the one! that's the scene I was thinking of; he is waking up on the plane and she introduces herself by that fabulous name. I love Sean's reaction.
I just love the first bit ;)
UGH! Probably my least favorite scene in the entire series, definitely the entire movie of GF. Honor Blackman delivered that line as if she couldn't wait to get her pay check and high-tail it out of there!
No, it's when he wakes up on the plane from being knocked out post-laser table and he drowsily looks up to see her.
Yeah, I got it wrong again. Yet I love the quote. Need to see GF again soon, it is obvious. That and the classic, "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" just perfect.
Bond: "Playing his golden harp."
I love that one! :D
(Goldfinger fires off three shots from his golden revolver)
Goldfinger: (points to Ling's dead body) "He's one of them, so is the girl. I'll get her, you get the door open!" (picks up machine gun, kills soldiers, cue the cheesy death yells and unison fall)
As in, on the Golf match with Frobe - 'hmmmmm, you play a Slazinger One don't you ?'
'hmmmmm, I know the best place in town'
'hmmmmmm, that makes two of us'
'hhhhhhhhhm, now where was I'
etc
"Man has shot rockets to the moon...split the atom...plunged the depths of the oceans...achieved miracles in every field of human endeavour EXCEPT CRIME!"
"And what will you do with your share of Operation Grand Slam pussy?"
"I will buy a little island in the Bahamas, put up a sign saying no trespassing and go back to nature.."
I'd actually argue that's GE. Maybe because its the only film I can literally quote large sections of on command.
A few examples of "quotable" lines:
"No glib remark, no pithy comeback?"
"Walther PPK...7.65mm only three men I know use such a gun I...believe I've killed two of them"
"For crying out loud another stiff-ass Brit, with your secret codes and your passwords...one of these days you guys are gonna learn just to drop it!"
"I gave him the limp"
"I might as well ask you if all the vodka martini's ever silenced the screams of all the men you've killed etc"
"For England James? No...for me" (my entire generation probably knows that line :p )
"Because I think you're a sexist, mysoganist dinosaur"
"Because if I wanted sarcasm Mr Tanner I'll talk to my children thank you very much"
I don't really like Blackman that much either, but the line is still great. And Connery is perfect. Plus, cmon, Pussy Galore, it's like the greatest name of all time ;)
It might be very clever and ingenious, but it's also rather embarrasing and quite crude. Take her out of the movie and I might enjoy it a bit more, maybe just a bit!
[facespalms] Oh Bain!! Did you have too...
This is a Goldfinger thread, Did you have to hijack it to big up frigging Goldeneye..
Wait until we get to that film.
Apologies @actonsteve. I couldn't help it...its just so "awesome" :p
Anyway, GOLDFINGER
I do like "I think you've made your point Goldfinger...thank you for the demonstration".
007: "Auric Goldfinger? Sounds like a French nail varnish."
Felix: "He's English, but he doesn't sound like it. That's his pigeon waiting for him over there. Goldfinger's been taking him to the cleaners every day for a week."
007: "Tell me Jill, why does he do it?"
Jill Masterson: "He likes to win."
007: "Why do you do it?"
Jill Masterson: "He pays me."
007: "Is that all he pays you for?"
Jill Masterson: "And for being seen with him."
007: "Just seen?"
Jill Masterson: "Just seen."
007: "I'm so glad."
Mr. Solo: "I've had enough."
Gangster: "Let him finish!"
Mr. Solo: "IF YOU HAVE NO OBJECTIONS....I'll take my money now."
Gangster: "What's da matta, Solo? Too big for you ta handle?"
Goldfinger: "Gentlemen, we must respect Mr. Solo's decision."
Sounds good, thanks for the update!
007: "Manners, Oddjob, I thought you always took your hat off to a lady. You know he kills little girls like you."
Miss Galore: "Little boys too" (tap tap!)
Bond- "That makes two of us."
Bond- "Felix, get over here right away. The girl's dead.
Felix- "Dink?"
Bond- "No Masterson, Jill Masterson. And she's covered in paint. Gold paint."
M: What's the matter with it?
James Bond: I'd say it was a 30-year-old fine, indifferently blended, sir... with an overdose of bon-bois.
M: Colonel Smithers is giving the lecture, 007.
Q: Now this one I'm particularly keen about. You see the gear lever here? Now, if you take the top off, you will find a little red button. Whatever you do, don't touch it.
James Bond: Yeah, why not?
Q: Because you'll release this section of the roof, and engage and then fire the passenger ejector seat. Whish!
James Bond: Ejector seat? You're joking!
Q: I never joke about my work, 007
Bonita : Why do you always wear that thing? (Refering to Bonds gun)
James Bond: I have a slight inferiority complex.
James Bond: You'll kill 60,000 people uselessly.
Auric Goldfinger: Hah. American motorists kill that many every two years.
James Bond: Yes, well, I've worked out a few statistics of my own. 15 billion dollars in gold bullion weighs 10,500 tons. Sixty men would take twelve days to load it onto 200 trucks. Now, at the most, you're going to have two hours before the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines move in and make you put it back.
Auric Goldfinger: Who mentioned anything about removing it?
i]Bond is stunned into silence[/i
Auric Goldfinger: The julep tart enough for you?
James Bond: You plan to break into the world's largest bank, but not to steal anything. Why?
Auric Goldfinger: Go on, Mr. Bond.
James Bond: i]thinking[/i Mr. Ling, the Red Chinese at the factory, he's a specialist in nuclear fission... but of course! His government's given you a bomb.
Auric Goldfinger: I prefer to call it an "atomic device." It's small, but particularly dirty.
James Bond: A dirty bomb? Cobalt and iodine?
Auric Goldfinger: Precisely.
James Bond: Well, if you explode it in Fort Knox, the... the entire gold supply of the United States would be radioactive for... fifty-seven years.
Auric Goldfinger: Fifty-eight, to be exact.
James Bond: I apologize, Goldfinger. It's an inspired deal! They get what they want, economic chaos in the West. And the value of your gold increases many times.
Auric Goldfinger: I conservatively estimate, ten times.
James Bond: Brilliant.
James Bond: Auric Goldfinger. Sounds like a French nail varnish.
So many lines to pick in Goldfinger, but alas we must move on to the fourth film in the series. And one I feel is full of great lines.
Yes my friends, it's time to share our favourite lines from...
Thunderball
Bond: "No, some men just don't like to be taken for a ride"
"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"
