[to Tiffany while he’s in bed with her]
James Bond: Presumably I’m the condemned man and obviously you’re the hearty breakfast.
James Bond: Presumably I’m the condemned man and obviously you’re the hearty breakfast.
Sir Donald Munger: Tell me, Commander, how far does your expertise extend into the field of diamonds?
James Bond: Well, hardest substance found in nature, they cut glass, suggests marriage, I suppose it replaced the dog as the girl’s best friend. That’s about it.
M: Refreshing to hear that there is one subject you’re not an expert on!

[Tiffany Case opens the door almost nude]
James Bond: That’s quite a nice little nothing you’re almost wearing. I approve.
Tiffany Case: I don’t dress for the hired help. Let’s see your passport, Franks.
[Bond gives her his passport. She looks it over]
Tiffany Case: Occupation: Transport Consultant? It’s a little cute isn’t it? I’ll finish dressing.
James Bond: Oh, please don’t, not on my account.

Slumber Inc. Attendant: The stiff, ehm, the deceased back there… Your brother, Mr. Franks?
James Bond: Yes, it was.
Slumber Inc. Attendant: I got a brudder.
James Bond: Small world.

Slumber Inc. Attendant: I got a brudder.

Plenty O’Toole: Plenty O’Toole.
James Bond: Named after your father perhaps?
James Bond: But of course you are.
Plenty O’Toole: Plenty O’Toole.
James Bond: Named after your father perhaps?
[Plenty O’Toole is thrown out of the window by some goons perhaps from the 10th floor, and lands in the middle of the hotel’s swimming pool]

Slumber Inc. Attendant: I didn’t know there was a pool down there.
[a couple of oil workers open a hatch down to the oil pipe, and James Bond comes up to their surprise]
James Bond: Thank you very much. I was just out walking my RAT and seem to have lost my way…
James Bond: Thank you very much. I was just out walking my RAT and seem to have lost my way…
James Bond: Good morning, gentlemen. ACME pollution inspection. We’re cleaning up the world, we thought this was a suitable starting point.
James Bond: Weren’t you a blonde when I came in?
Tiffany Case: Could be.
James Bond: I tend to notice little things like that – whether a girl is a blonde or a brunette.
Tiffany Case: Which do you prefer?
James Bond: Well, as long as the collar and cuffs match…
Tiffany Case: Could be.
James Bond: I tend to notice little things like that – whether a girl is a blonde or a brunette.

[to a rat]
James Bond: Well, one of us smells like a tart’s handkerchief.
[sniffs]
James Bond: I’m afraid it’s me. Sorry, old boy.

[sniffs]
James Bond: I’m afraid it’s me. Sorry, old boy.
Sir Donald Munger: You have been on holiday, I understand. Relaxing, I hope?
James Bond: Oh, hardly relaxing, but most satisfying.
James Bond: Oh, hardly relaxing, but most satisfying.
James Bond: Pity about your liver, sir. Unusually fine Solera. ’51, I believe.
M: There is no year for sherry, 007.
James Bond: I was referring to the original vintage on which the sherry is based, sir. 1851, unmistakable.
Sir Donald Munger: Precisely.

James Bond: Would you settle for a tulip?
Miss Moneypenny: [Bond leaves; she sighs longingly] Mm, yes.
Tiffany Case: Listen, you can drop me off at the next corner. This whole thing is getting a little out of hand. No regrets, but when you start stealing moon machines from Willard Whyte, GOOD bye and GOOD Luck!
James Bond: Just relax, I have a friend named Felix who can fix anything.
Tiffany Case: Is he married?
[after being pulled over by the sherriff]
Tiffany Case: [sarcastically] Relax, you’ve got a friend named Felix who can fix anything.
James Bond: Unfortunately, so can Willard Whyte.

[Plenty O’Toole is found face down in a swimming pool]
Tiffany Case: She’s…
James Bond: Dead. Supposed to be you. The next link in the “pipeline”.
Tiffany Case: What are you talking about?
James Bond: Poor Plenty must have stumbled in here looking for you.
Tiffany Case: I don’t believe you!
James Bond: A dentist is dead in South Africa. That little old lady in Amsterdam. Shady got his last night. They’ve missed me once. And you’re next. Now, who’s your connection?
Tiffany Case: You sound like a cop to me…
[Slaps her]
James Bond: Who’s your connection?
Tiffany Case: All I know, his voice is on a phone. They got me this place and told me to wait for further instructions.
James Bond: You’ll find that rather difficult to hear underwater.
[Bond has shoved a tape in the rear end of Tiffany’s bikini bottom]
James Bond: Bitch. Your problems are all behind you now.
James Bond: Bitch. Your problems are all behind you now.

Tiffany Case: Oh, James.
James Bond: Oh, yes. What were you about to ask me?
Tiffany Case: James, how the hell do we get those diamonds down again?
[Bond tastes the Mouton Rothschild wine served]
James Bond: The wine is quite excellent. Although for such a grand meal I would have expected a claret.
Mr. Wint: But of course. Unfortunately our cellar is poorly stocked with clarets.
James Bond: Mouton Rothschild IS a claret. And, I’ve smelled that aftershave before, and both times – I’ve smelled a rat.

Mr. Wint: But of course. Unfortunately our cellar is poorly stocked with clarets.
James Bond: Mouton Rothschild IS a claret. And, I’ve smelled that aftershave before, and both times – I’ve smelled a rat.
James Bond: What do you intend to do with those diamonds?
Blofeld: An excellent question. And one which will be hanging on the lips of the world quite soon. If I were to break the news to anyone it would be to you first, Mr Bond, you know that.
Blofeld: An excellent question. And one which will be hanging on the lips of the world quite soon. If I were to break the news to anyone it would be to you first, Mr Bond, you know that.

James Bond: [Plenty O’Toole enters Bond’s hotel room] Well, if you’d like to come in, Plenty.
Plenty O’Toole: Oh, how pretty, what a super place you have!
James Bond: Mmm…
[Plenty kisses him; Bond unzips her purple satin dress and it falls from her, leaving her almost completely naked except for her purple high heels and her transparent pink panties]
Plenty O’Toole: [holding up a finger, moving back] Just give me one second, lover.
[she walks into the bedroom]
James Bond: [Bond picks up her dress and tosses it onto a couch. He turns on a lamp and finds a goon pointing a gun at him] Good evening.
[other lights come on, revealing another goon, also pointing a gun at him]
James Bond: Well, I’m afraid you’ve caught me with more than my hands up.
Plenty O’Toole: [being forced out of the bedroom by a third goon, her arms folded across her chest protectively] Hey, what the hell is this? A pervert’s convention or something?
[the other goons come over and pick her up, carrying her over to the window]
Plenty O’Toole: Now listen, you can’t do this to me! Stop that! I’ve got friends in this town!
[she is thrown out of the window and lands in the pool]
James Bond: Surely, sir, there’s no need to involve our section on a relatively simple smuggling matter.
M: Sir Donald has convinced the PM otherwise. May I remind you 007, that Blofeld is dead. Finished! The least we can expect from you now is a little *plain*, *solid*, *work*.

James Bond: Is that who it was? Well just goes to show, no one’s indestructible.
James Bond: Is that who it was? Well just goes to show, no one’s indestructible.

[choking a girl to get information]
James Bond: Speak up, darling, I can’t hear you.
