[Moneypenny, M, and other officials are listening to Bond’s taped interview of Tatiana Romanova]
Tatiana: The mechanism is… Oh James, James… Will you make love to me all the time in England?
James Bond: Day and night. Go on about the mechanism.

James Bond: Red wine with fish. Well that should have told me something.
Donald “Red” Grant: You may know the right wines, but you’re the one on your knees. How does it feel old man?

James Bond: Pardon me, do you have a match?
Kerim’s Chauffeur: I use a lighter.
James Bond: Better still.
Kerim’s Chauffeur: Until they go wrong.
James Bond: Exactly.

James Bond: How can a friend be in debt?

Donald “Red” Grant: Is any of the opposition around?
James Bond: Not in any condition to be worried about.

Tatiana: Horrible, horrible woman.
James Bond: Yes, she had her kicks.

[last lines]
Tatiana: [removes ring and hands it to Bond] Here you are. In case you ever need it again.
James Bond: Oh, yes. All government property has to be accounted for. But as I said before, we won’t always be working on the company’s time. Will we?
Tatiana: No
[Tatiana kisses Bond passionately]
Tatiana: James, behave yourself. We are being filmed.
James Bond: Oh, not again.
[Bond pulls a film reel from his pocket and unwinds it]
James Bond: He was right, you know.
Tatiana: What is it?
James Bond: I’ll show you.
[Bond kisses Tatiana and throws the film away]

[Grant has just explained SPECTRE’s plot for Bond]
James Bond: That must have been a pretty sick collection of minds to dream up a plan like that.
Donald ‘Red’ Grant: Wish you could see the headlines, “British agent murders beautiful Russian spy, then commits suicide.”
James Bond: Tell me, which lunatic asylum did they get you out of?
Donald ‘Red’ Grant: [angered] Don’t make it tougher on yourself, Mr. Bond!
[Grant slaps Bond across the face]
Donald ‘Red’ Grant: My orders are to kill you and deliver the Lektor. How I do it is my business. It’ll be slow and painful.

[after shooting down a SPECTRE helicopter]
James Bond: I’d say one of their aircraft is missing.

James Bond: Your clock, is it correct?
Russian Clerk: Always.
James Bond: But of course.
[he walks away, checks his watch, then comes back]
James Bond: Excuse me, you did say your clock was correct?
Russian Clerk: Russian clocks are always…
[the hidden tear-gas bomb explodes]

James Bond: How about a cigarette?
Donald ‘Red’ Grant: Not a chance.
James Bond: I’ll pay for it.
Donald ‘Red’ Grant: What with?
James Bond: Fifty gold sovereigns.

[When the two Gypsy girls are brought out to fight, Vavra addresses the tribe in the Romani Gypsy language]
Kerim Bey: [translating] The women will fight until one of them is dead or surrenders. The winner will marry the man they both love, the loser will be cast out of the tribe, never to return. If both quit, the elders of the tribe will then decide who will marry the chief’s son.
[speaking Romani, Vida lets out a long string of curses, glaring venomously at Zora]
Kerim Bey: She’s saying that…
James Bond: Yes, I think I got it without the subtitles.

Man in a Punt: Great sport, this!
Woman in a Punt: What?
Man in a Punt: I said, it’s great sport, this punting!
[Their punt passes another one beached behind some reeds, where James and Sylvia are making out]
James Bond: I couldn’t agree with him more.
Sylvia Trench: Mmm, I may even give up golf for it.

[on seeing Kerim Bey’s office in shambles]
James Bond: Well… who won?
Kerim Bey: I had visitors. Limpet mine on the wall outside – timed to catch me at my desk. But by good fortune, I was relaxing on the settee for a few moments. The girl left in hysterics.
James Bond: Found your technique too violent?

James Bond: There’s a saying in England: Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Tatiana: [trying on dresses] I will wear this one in Picadilly.
James Bond: You won’t. They’ve just passed some new laws there.

James Bond: She should have kept her mouth shut.

James Bond: [in atypical self-effacement] Suppose when she meets me in the flesh I-I don’t come up to expectations?
M: Just see that you do.

James Bond: I hope you’re not… disappointed.
Tatiana: I will tell you… in the morning.

James Bond: You’re one of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever seen.
Tatiana: Thank you, but I think my mouth is too big.
James Bond: No, it’s the right size… for me, that is.

Tatiana: But, there are some English customs that are going to be changed.
James Bond: But of course darling.

Donald “Red” Grant: We were keeping you alive until you could get us the Lektor.
James Bond: So, you had me deliver it on a silver plate? That’s brilliant. Go on, I’m fascinated.
Donald “Red” Grant: Now that we’ve got it, you and the girl are expendable… from here onto Trieste.
James Bond: The girl? Isn’t she working for SPECTRE too?
Donald “Red” Grant: No. She thinks she’s doing it all for Mother Russia. She takes her orders from Colonel Klebb. And so do I.
James Bond: Rosa Klebb? But Colonel Rosa Klebb is a Russian, head of operations for SMERSH.
Donald “Red” Grant: Correction: was. Klebb works for SPECTRE now. The girl doesn’t know that.
James Bond: But why kill her?
Donald “Red” Grant: Orders. That’s only half of it, old man.
[Grant pulls out a roll of 8mm film and an envelope from his suit pocket]
Donald “Red” Grant: Here’s a roll of film. She’ll have this in her handbag. And on you they’ll find this letter. It’s from her, threatening to give the film to the press unless you marry her for helping you steal the Lektor.
James Bond: [confused] What film?
Donald “Red” Grant: [sneers] Taken in the bridal suite at your hotel. Something else the girl didn’t know about… or you.

Tatiana: I think my mouth is too big.
James Bond: I think it’s a very lovely mouth. It’s just the right size – for me anyway!

Dr No Film Quotes

Sean Connery as James Bond in Dr. No (1962)

[Bond admires a huge aquarium. Dr. No enters]
Dr. No: One million dollars, Mr. Bond. You were wondering what it cost.
James Bond: As a matter of fact, I was.
 

Dr. No: The Americans are fools. I offered my services, they refused. So did the East. Now they can both pay for their mistake.
James Bond: World domination. The same old dream. Our asylums are full of people who think they’re Naploeon. Or God.

James Bond: Both hands on the wheel, Mr. Jones, I’m a very nervous passenger.

[James Bond’s first scene, winning a game of chemin-de-fer]
James Bond: I admire your courage, Miss…?
Sylvia Trench: Trench. Sylvia Trench. I admire your luck, Mr…?
James Bond: Bond. James Bond.

[Professor Dent tries to kill Bond, but his gun is out of bullets]
James Bond: That’s a Smith & Wesson, and you’ve had your six.
[shoots Dent twice]

James Bond: Tell me Miss Trench, do you play any other games?

James Bond: Don’t worry. I’m not supposed to be here either.
Honey Ryder: Are you looking for shells too?
James Bond: No, I’m just looking.

Miss Moneypenny: James! Where have you been? I’ve been searching all over London for you.
[Picks up phone]
Miss Moneypenny: 007 is here sir.
[Slaps Bond’s hand away from the papers on her desk]
James Bond: Moneypenny! What gives?
Miss Moneypenny: Me, given an ounce of encouragement. You’ve never taken me to dinner looking like this. You’ve never taken me to dinner…
James Bond: I would, you know. Only “M” would have me court-martialed for… illegal use of government property.
Miss Moneypenny: Flattery will get you nowhere – but don’t stop trying.

Miss Taro: What should I say to an invitation from a strange gentleman?
James Bond: You should say yes.
Miss Taro: [shaking her head] I should say maybe.

Worker: What happened?
James Bond: I think they were on their way to a funeral!

Sylvia Trench: When did you say you had to leave?
James Bond: Immediately… almost immediately

Dr. No: That’s a Dom Perignon ’55, it would be a pity to break it
James Bond: I prefer the ’53 myself…

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!

Major Boothroyd: [to M, referring to Bond’s Baretta] Nice and light… in a lady’s handbag.
M: Any comment, 007?
James Bond: I disagree, sir. I’ve carried the Baretta for ten years, and I’ve never missed with it.
M: No, but it jameed on you last job, and you spent six months in hospital in consequence. When you carry a 00 number, you have a license to kill, not get killed. Furthermore, since I’ve been head of MI7
[sic – MI6]
M: there’s been a forty percent drop in casualties, and I want to keep it that way. From now on you carry the Walther… unless you’d rather return to standard intelligence duties.
James Bond: No sir,I would not.
M: [to Boothroyd] Show him, Armourer.
Major Boothroyd: [to Bond] Walther PPK, 7.65 millimeter, with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window. The American CIA swear by them.

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.

Dr. No: [to Bond] I had even hoped that there would be a position for you in our organization.
James Bond: I’m honored. Of course, I’d prefer the Revenge department. My first job would be to find out who killed Strangways and Quarrel.

[Showing prisoners Bond and Honey around their cell]
Sister Lily: Don’t hesitate to ring if there’s anything else you want. Anything at all.
James Bond: Two air tickets to London?

[Honey describes how she killed the man who had raped her]
Honey Ryder: I put a black widow spider underneath his mosquito net… a female, they’re the worst. It took him a whole week to die.
[Bond looks shocked]
Honey Ryder: Did I do wrong?
James Bond: Well, it wouldn’t do to make a habit of it.

[last lines]
Felix Leiter: Ahoy, Mr. Bond! Ahoy, Mr. Bond!
James Bond: Well, well. What’s the matter? Do you need help?
[Honey stands up into plain view]
Felix Leiter: Quite sure you don’t.
James Bond: Well, now that you’re here, you’d better give us a tow.
Felix Leiter: Throw us your line.

[Bond pulls up to the front of Government House with a dead man sitting up in the backseat]
James Bond: Sergeant, make sure he doesn’t get away.

James Bond: [to Honey Ryder] I can assure you, my intentions are strictly honorable.

Honey Ryder: Have you any idea what they’ll do with us?
James Bond: No idea. No door handles or windows, either.
Honey Ryder: It’s a prison, then.
James Bond: Mink-lined, with first-class service.

Honey Ryder: How can you eat at a time like this?
James Bond: I’m hungry. We don’t know when we’ll get the chance to eat again. Here, take this.
James Bond: [whispering] Careful. The whole place is probably wired for sound.

James Bond: Now, don’t worry, Quarrel. Everything’s going to be fine.
Quarrel: You say so, Captain. Bottom part of where my belly used to be tells me different.
James Bond: For me, Crab Key’s going to be a gentle relaxation.
Felix Leiter: From what? Dames?
James Bond: No, from being a clay pigeon.
