Sean Connery as James Bond in You Only Live Twice (1967)
James Bond: Is this the only room there is?
Kissy Suzuki: Yes. That is your bed,
[
points to one side of room]
Kissy Suzuki: I shall sleep over there.
[
points to other side of room]
James Bond: But we’re supposed to be married.
Kissy Suzuki: Think again, please. You gave false name to priest.
James Bond: Yes, but we must keep up appearances. We’re on our honeymoon.
Kissy Suzuki: No honeymoon. This is business.
James Bond: [
pushing aside his oyster dinner] Well, I won’t need these.
Helga Brandt: [
Bond is captured by Helga Brandt] I’ve got you now.
James Bond: Well, enjoy yourself.
[
Brandt slaps him]
[
about to make love to Helga Brandt]
James Bond: Oh the things I do for England.
Aki: You wouldn’t touch that horrible woman, would you?
James Bond: Oh heaven forbid.
[
Coded message to headquarters]
James Bond: Little Nelly got a hot reception. Four big shots made improper advances toward her, but she defended her honor with great success.
Tiger Tanaka: It can save your life, this cigarette.
James Bond: You sound like a commercial.
Blofeld: The firing power inside my crater is enough to annihilate a small army. You can watch it all on TV. It’s the last program you’re likely to see.
James Bond: Well, if I’m gonna be forced to watch television, may I smoke?
Blofeld: Yes. Give him his cigarettes. It won’t be the nicotine that kills you, Mr. Bond.
[
Bond has just sent Blofeld’s henchman into the water. The piranha immediately attack him]
James Bond: Bon appetit!
Blofeld: James Bond. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernst Stavro Blofeld. They told me you were assassinated in Hong Kong.
James Bond: Yes, this is my second life.
Blofeld: You only live twice, Mr. Bond.
Tiger Tanaka: Permit me to introduce myself. I am Tanaka. Please call me Tiger.
James Bond: If you’re Tanaka, then how do you feel about me?
Tiger Tanaka: [
the code response] I… love you.
James Bond: Well, I’m glad we got that out of the way.
[
Being bathed by Tanaka’s women]
Tiger Tanaka: You know what it is about you that fascinates them, don’t you? It’s the hair on your chest. Japanese men all have beautiful bare skin.
James Bond: Japanese proverb say, “Bird never make nest in bare tree.”
[
James is in bed with a Ling, a Chinese woman]
James Bond: Why do Chinese girls taste different from all other girls?
Ling: You think we better, huh?
James Bond: No, just different. Like Peking Duck is different from Russian Caviar. But I love them both.
Ling: Darling, I give you very best duck.
[
Choosing a masseuse]
James Bond: Well, I’ll just settle for this little old lady here.
Tiger Tanaka: Good choice, she’s very sexyful.
[
Bond is about to have his chest waxed so he can pass for Japanese]
James Bond: Why don’t you just dye the parts that show?
Tiger Tanaka: Rule number one: never do anything yourself when someone else can do it for you.
James Bond: And rule number two?
Tiger Tanaka: Rule number two: in Japan, men come first, women come second.
James Bond: I just might retire to here.
MoneyPenny: Oh, by the way, how was the girl?
James Bond: (turns the lamp towards her, interrogation style) Which girl?
MoneyPenny: The… uh… Chinese one we set you up with?
James Bond: Another few minutes and I would have found out.
Mr. Osato: You should give up smoking. Cigarettes are very bad for your chest.
Helga Brandt: Mr. Osato believes in healthy chest.
[
Bond eyes Helga’s breasts]
James Bond: Really?
Tiger Tanaka: [
after Tiger’s helicopter drops an enemy car chasing Bond and Aki into the Pacific ocean] How’s that for Japanese efficiency?
James Bond: Just a drop in the ocean.
Tiger Tanaka: [
discussing Osato Chemicals’ supertanker, the Ning Po, which is known to be smuggling rocket fuel] We shadowed the Ning Po to the outer islands.
Aki: It was very dark. Hard to see her all the time.
Tiger Tanaka: But we know she stopped somewhere. Look at these photos.
[
Tiger hands James photos of the Ning Po]
Aki: Look at the water line.
James Bond: [
noticing the higher water line of the ship in seperate photos] You’re right. Fully laden here, and empty here.
James Bond: [
getting up] I want to take a look at the island now. Is Little Nellie here?
Tiger Tanaka: Yes. And her father.
[
James, Aki, and Tiger enter a nearby garage where an agitated and sweating Q is waiting]
James Bond: [
sarcastically] Welcome to Japan, Dad. Is my little girl hot and ready?
Q: [
annoyed] Look, 007, I’ve had a long and tiring journey, probably to no purpose, so I’m in no mood for juvenile quips.
M: [
buzzing intercom] Miss Moneypenny, give 007 the password we’ve agreed with Japanese S.I.S.
MoneyPenny: Yes sir.
[
to Bond]
MoneyPenny: We tried to think of something that you wouldn’t forget.
James Bond: Yes?
MoneyPenny: “I, love, you”. Repeat it please, to make sure you get it
James Bond: Don’t worry, I get it.
James Bond: Do you have any commandos here?
Tiger Tanaka: I have much, much better. Ninjas. Top-secret, Bond-san. This is my ninja training school.
Sean Connery as James Bond in Thunderball (1965)
Bond: [
draping arm around nurse] Do I seem healthy to you?
Pat Fearing: Too healthy.
Fiona: Some men just don’t like to be driven.
Bond: No, some men don’t like to be taken for a ride.
[
after making love to the evil Fiona Volpe]
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…
[
she steps on Bond’s foot]
Fiona: … but not this one!
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.
James Bond: My dear, uncooperative Domino.
Domino: How do you know that? How do you know my friends call me Domino?
James Bond: It’s on the bracelet on your ankle.
Domino: So… what sharp little eyes you’ve got.
James Bond: Wait ’til you get to my teeth.
[
after shooting Vargas with a spear gun]
James Bond: I think he got the point.
[
Placing Fiona’s body in a chair after she is shot on the dance floor]
James Bond: Do you mind if my friend sits this one out? She’s just dead.
[
to the shark that almost bit him]
James Bond: You can tell of the one that got away.
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.
[after a narrow escape from a motorized traction table set on overload]
James Bond: I must be six inches taller.
M: I’ve assigned you to Station “C” Canada.
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?
[
Bond shows M a picture of Dominique Derval, the Vulcan pilot’s sister]
M: Do we know where she is now?
James Bond: Nassau.
M: Do you think she’s worth going after?
James Bond: Well, I wouldn’t put it quite like that, sir…
[
after making love to Pat, Bond sees something suspicious on the grounds, and gets up to investigate]
Pat Fearing: James, where are you going?
James Bond: Oh, nowhere. I just thought I’d take a little, uh… exercise.
Pat Fearing: You must be joking.
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.
[
Bond and Largo spot Domino eavesdropping
Bond: I hope we didn’t scare the fishes.
Q: It is to be handled with special care!
James Bond: Everything you give me…
Q: …is treated with equal contempt. Yes, I know.
Felix Leiter: Well, hello Double-Oh…
[
James slugs Felix to shut him up, then slugs the bad guy hiding in the shower]
Felix Leiter: Fine way to treat the CIA!
James Bond: I’m sorry about that, Felix, but you were about to say double-O seven. Here.
[
James gives Felix the bad guy’s gun]
Felix Leiter: Well, James, did you kill him?
James Bond: You know me better than that.
Emilio Largo: You wish to put the evil eye on me, eh? We have a way to deal with that where I come from.
James Bond: You may hex me yet. Let’s see your decks for the cards.
[
Bond is standing in the doorway between their apartments as Fiona takes a bath]
Fiona: Aren’t you in the wrong room, Mr. Bond?
Bond: Not from where I’m standing.
[
first lines]
Madame LaPorte: The coffin – it has your initials: J.B.
Bond: At the moment, rather him than me.
Madame LaPorte: At least you’ve been saved the effort of removing him. Colonel Bouvar passed away in his sleep, so they tell me.
Bond: Mm…
Madame LaPorte: You sound disappointed you did not kill him yourself.
Bond: I am. Jacques Bouvar murdered two of my colleagues.
[
last lines]
Bond: [
helping Domino into a life raft] Up.
Bond: You should be locked up in a cage.
[
starts kissing her]
Fiona: Mmm… this bed *feels* like a cage, all these bars. Do you think I will be -
[
voice cracks in a blissful moan]
Fiona: *safe*?
Bond: [
massaging Pat] Mink. It uh, reduces the tensions.
Pat Fearing: [
throaty voice] Not mine.
[Largo dies]
Domino: I’m glad I killed him.
James Bond: You’re glad?
[
after leaving an Irrigation Therapy Room]
Bond: See you later, irrigator.
Count Lippe: [
after Bond slides a broom handle through the handles of doors on a sitting steam bath that Lippe is in] What the hell do you think you’re doing?
Bond: Now don’t you worry, I’ll tell the chef!
Count Lippe: Let me out of this bloody machine!
James Bond: [
donning the underwater jet pack] … and the kitchen sink.
Felix Leiter: On you, anything looks good.
