Our favourite lines from the Bond films - LICENCE TO KILL
Benny
In the shadowsAdministrator, Moderator
It's Friday and it gave me an idea to start a favourite lines thread. But unlike the previous ones it will be a week to week thing.
That being the case we'll start with out favourite lines from Doctor No.
A few of mine include :
<i> "Bond...James Bond."</i>
<i> "Second time nothings come out, give her her arm back." </i>
<i> "That's a Smith and Wesson. And you've had your six." </i>
<i> "No, I'm just looking." </i>
<i> "Where were you fitted for this bud?" </i>
<i> "My tailor. Savile Row." </i>
<i> "Mine's a guy in Washington. Felix Leiter CIA." </i>
<i> "I never fail Mister Bond." </i>
<i> "Sergeant, make sure he doesn't get away." </i> Concerning the recently deseased Mr.Jones.
That's a few to be getting on with.
Be sure to include any of the above, and hopefully a few more of your own. Look forward to seeing what members come up with.

That's my favourite line for sure. Connery oozes 'cool' when he says it. One of the true jewels.
I remember first watching the movie, and when he says that, and then just coldly kills the man, while puffing on his cigarette - i was like "DAMN!".. :) ... but it's the whole scene, he never panics - he's in complete control, he's like a cat batting around a mouse.. and just when Dent thinks he's got Bond dead, he realizes just how screwed he is.... if there was one definitive Bond moment, that defines what the character is - at least to me, it's this moment..
i also like, "Does the toppling of American missiles really compensate for having no hands?"
I do love the way Connery provokes his enamies with these choice titbits.
Just noticed haserot picked that one as well. Great minds....
"Because I'm hungry; we don't know when we'll have the chance to eat again." —James Bond
"Unfortunately I misjudged you, you are just a stupid policeman." —Dr. No
Oh, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that line from Dr. No that gets me every time: "We'll be back! We'll be back with the dogs! …FULL SPEED AHEAD." For anyone whose memory of the scene in question is spotty, the henchman on the boat—I call him MEGAPHONE MAN—attempts to intimidate Bond, Honey, and Quarrel into the open while his buddies attempt to do the same with machine guns. When it fails, they give up for the time being, and MEGAPHONE MAN tells them to move on without his megaphone (after all, the driver's right there). But his voice is still amplified. Where you may see careless sound editing, I see a henchman with a peculiar quirk who reveals his malady in something of a twist moment. I love it.
passenger!"
My line is now positively awful. ;)
passenger!"
He never sounded so Scottish as he does when delivering this line :)
lol.. sorry...
almost any line in this movie is great - they don't even need to come from Bond...
"You'll be sorry! You'll all be sorry, you RATS!"
Though that's a great idea for a "when did the actor portraying Bond accent slip"? I fear it may become a Brosnan bashing zone.
Quoting Samuel001: "Up slowly and face the wall!"
Quoting JobeGDG: "We'll be back! We'll be back with the dogs! …FULL SPEED AHEAD."
Keep it up folks. I love reading these.
Clumsy effort, Mr. Bond. You disappoint me. I'm not a fool, so please do not treat me as one. And that table knife, please put it back.
Little gal, I does. I tell you, Mr. Bond -- let's get the hell outta here!
And the one that gets so many people upset can't remain unmentioned:
Fetch my shoes.
LMAO! I complete forgot about the "Fetch my shoes" line..... I'm shocked Bond didn't scold him and tell him to get back in dem fields!!! ;-) :-))
Civil Rights Movement... what Civil Rights Movement??.. Bond just told them to take all their "so called" civil liberties and stick it, with one tiny little quote..
James Bond - on the cutting edge of oppression!
Boy, can Joseph Wiseman deliver a good line. Still arguably the best villain of the series.
Most of the good Dr. No lines have already been covered, so here's probably some overlooked ones:
Quarrel: "I like people who's friends of people."
Dr. No: "One million dollars, Mr. Bond. You were wondering what it costs."
007: "As a matter of fact, I was."
007: "Book her, Superintendant, and be careful of her nail varnish."
Dent: "Very clever, Mr. Bond. But you're up against more than you know. Shoot me, and you'll end up like Strangaways."
007: "Then you killed him?"
Dent: "He was killed, but nevermind how."
007: "Who sent you?"
The Photographer: "Uh, eh...the Daily Gleaner."
007: "Pussfella! Pussfella! Phone the Gleaner and see if they had a reporter sent here tonight."
The Photographer: "They didn't send me, uh...I work freelance."
007: "Ah, freelance, really? For whom?"
Lines straight from the novel. The dinner scene with old Julius is full of good dialogue.
Agreed, it's one of my favorite scenes in all of Bond. I love how Bond tricks the guards into taking Honey away from the table so that Bond can use the distraction to grab the table knife.
"One million dollars, Mr Bond.."
Dr No glides across the carpet like a worm according to Fleming.
"You were wondering about the cost of my aquarium - my guests generally do after a few minutes."
Road Worker: "What happened?"
Bond: "I think they were on their way to a funeral."
Definitely one of my favorites beside the Smith and Wesson quote.
007: " You should say yes."
Miss Taro: "I should say maybe."
Other than Sylvia Trench, the first time a woman plays hard to get with Bond- and FAILS!
Sylvia- "Trench, Sylvia Trench. I admire your luck Mr.."
Bond- (lights cigarette, cue music) "Bond, James Bond."
Puss Feller: Nobody's died from my cookin', yet.
Dr. No: I'm a member of SPECTRE
James Bond: SPECTRE?
Dr. No: SPECTRE. Special Executive for Counter Intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, Extortion. The four great cornerstones of power headed by the greatest brains in the world.
James Bond: Correction. Criminal brains!
Dr. No: The successful criminal brain is always superior. It has to be!
Bond: Then why become criminal?
Connery was king of the windups.
The Chinese nurses at Dr. No's lair escorting Bond and Hobey to their room.
Nurse: we have everything you need (paraphrased)
Bond: such as 2 air tickets to London?
James Bond: Good evening, sir.
M: It happens to be 3 a.m. When do you sleep, 007?
James Bond: Never on the firm's time, sir.
Three blind mice in a row
Three blind mice there they go
Marching down the street single file
To a calypso beat all the while
They're looking for the cat
The cat that swallowed the rat
They want to show that cat the attitude
of three blind mice
Three blind mice here and there
Three blind mice everywhere
Searching all around for the cat
All over Kingston town pitter pat
They got the carving knife
To cut the pussycat's life
The puss will get the knife for triflin
with three blind mice
So beware
Three blind mice
Watch your step
Three blind mice
Deadly mice
Three blind mice
Where they go?
Three blind mice
What they do?
Three blind mice
Oh, the mice
Three blind mice
Deadly mice
Lines/text from older movies is not easy to remember, the Bond qoute scene is one to remember and always like when i see it and be one of those things i don't mind there repeat in Thunderball. Same count if not done to much, but subtil and you must believe it if a villian said ''I never fail Mister Bond'' or something simalar like ''Good Evening 007''.
Well, as the interest is there, I see no problem in keeping the ball rolling.
We'll give other members a chance to contribute, so I'll let this one run untill next friday (20/04)
