• Fatima Blush : You know that making love to Fatima was the greatest pleasure of your life.

  James Bond : Well, to be perfectly honest, there was this girl in Philadelphia...

  Fatima Blush : SHUT UP!

  [beat] 

  Fatima Blush : *I* am the best.

  James Bond : Yes. Yes, you're right. In fact, i was going to put you in my memoirs as "Number One".

  Fatima Blush : Right.

• James Bond : Still here, Moneypenny? You should be in bed.

  Miss Moneypenny : James, we *both* should be!

• Nurse : Mr. Bond, I need a urine sample. If you could fill this beaker for me?

  James Bond : From here?

• Fatima Blush : Write! Now write this: "The greatest rapture in my life was afforded to me on a boat in Nassau by Fatima Blush." Sign: "James Bond, 007."

  James Bond : I just remembered. It's against Service policy for agents to give endorsements.

  Fatima Blush : *Write*!

  James Bond : Right now?

  Fatima Blush : Right - now.

• Largo : [Bond has defeated Largo at 'Domination']  It seems like I underestimated you. $267,000.

  James Bond : I'll settle for one dance with Domino.

  Largo : So. Do you lose as gracefully as you win?

  James Bond : I don't know, I've never lost.

  Largo : This game has been played, and *I* have lost. That's it.

• [Fatima Blush lands in James Bond's arms when she water-skis up the ramp to the bar] 

  Fatima Blush : Oh, how reckless of me. I made you all wet.

  James Bond : Yes, but my martini is still dry. My name is James.

• Q : Good to see you Mr. Bond. Things've been awfully dull 'round here. Bureaucrats running the whole place. Everything done by the book. Can't make a decision unless the computer gives you the go ahead. Now you're on this. I hope we're going to have some gratuitous sex and violence!

  James Bond : I certainly hope so too.

• M : Too many free radicals. That's your problem.

  James Bond : "Free radicals," sir?

  M : Yes. They're toxins that destroy the body and the brain, caused by eating too much red meat and white bread. Too many dry martinis!

  James Bond : Then I shall cut out the white bread, sir.

  M : Oh, you'll do more than THAT, 007. From now on you will be suffering a strict regimen of diet and exercise; we shall PURGE those toxins from you!

  James Bond : Shrublands?

  M : You got it!

• Miss Moneypenny : Have you got an assignment, James?

  James Bond : Yes, Moneypenny. I'm to eliminate all free radicals.

  Miss Moneypenny : Ooh. Do be careful.

• Patricia : Lentil delight, dandelion salad, goat's cheese.

  James Bond : Beluga caviar, quails eggs, vodka, foie gras - Strasbourg.

• M : I send you to a health farm to get yourself in shape! Instead you DEMOLISH it! Now I've had to notify the local police, get a minister to muzzle the press, and allocate a sizable chunk of my meager budget to renovating the establishment!

  James Bond : A man DID try to kill me, sir.

  M : Oh! Caught you seducing his wife, did he?

  James Bond : No, sir, not at all. But, in fact, I did lose 4 lbs and God knows how many free radicals.

  M : [slams the table]  That is the KIND of attitude that tempts me to suspend you, 007!

• Doctor at Shrublands : Miss Fearing tells me you're making fine progress. But, I must say, you're looking a bit peaked this morning.

  James Bond : I was up all night.

  Doctor at Shrublands : Don't overdo it. A herbal enema should fix you up.

• Largo : Are you a man who enjoys games?

  James Bond : Depends with whom I'm playing.

• James Bond : My name is Bond.

  Patricia : Oh, you're Mr. Bond. I believe I'm having you in half an hour.

  James Bond : Oh, splendid. Your room or mine?

• James Bond : You're marvelously well equipped.

  Fatima Blush : Thank you, James. So are you.

• James Bond : Is it far to the reef?

  Fatima Blush : It's far enough. We've got time to kill.

• Receptionist at Health Spa : Bon jour, Monsieur.

  James Bond : Do you serve men here?

  Receptionist at Health Spa : But, of course. Some men more than others.

• Domino Petachi : That feels *so* good.

  James Bond : It certainly does.

  Domino Petachi : Excuse me?

  James Bond : It *certainly does* need it. You have slight lesions in the upper vertebrae.

• [Last lines] 

  [Small-Fawcett is thrown into the pool by James Bond] 

  Small-Fawcett : I'm sorry Mr. Bond. I obviously caught you in a bad moment.

  James Bond : M sent you!

  Small-Fawcett : Only to plead for your return, Sir. M says that without you in the service, he fears for the security of the civilized world.

  James Bond : Never again.

  Domino Petachi : Never?

  [they hug and Bond winks to the audience] 

• James Bond : Is it conceivable that he could have used a false eye?

  M : Oh, do come along, Bond! Let's think of a more logical explanation, shall we?

• James Bond : What's the Americans' story on how the damn things were stolen?

• James Bond : I won't need one of these where I'm going.

  Q : Where's that or - are you not allowed to say?

  James Bond : The Bahamas.

  Q : Oh, lucky, bloody you!

• Small-Fawcett : Nigel Small-Fawcett. British Embassy. Nassau.

  James Bond : How do you do, Nigel?

  Small-Fawcett : Sorry I'm late. But, as you're one of these undercover johnnies, I took the precaution of not being followed.

  James Bond : And that's why you shouted my name across the harbor.

  Small-Fawcett : Oh, God! Did I? Oh, I'm sorry. Damn! Damn! Sorry, I'm rather new to all this.

• James Bond : What exactly are we going down for?

  Fatima Blush : Sport - and a little fun.

• James Bond : You appear tense.

  Fatima Blush : You affect me, James.

  James Bond : Well, that's bad. Going down, one should always be relaxed.

• James Bond : With due respect, I played the war games for two weeks and only got killed once.

  M : Twice. You've forgotten the land mine on the Black Sea beach.

  James Bond : Correction, sir. I lost both legs. I did not die.

  M : [Unimpressed]  You were *immobilized.*

  James Bond : It can never be the same playing with blanks. It is somewhat different in the field. With your life on the line... your adrenaline gives you an edge.

  M : But is your edge sharp enough? That's the difference between a "Double-0" and a corpse.

• James Bond : [In the lab, curious about yet another one of Q's interesting little spy gadgets]  What is this for?

  Q : I'll show you. You unscrew it... then stick it up your nose.

  Q : [as he sticks the inhaler up his nose and sniffs]  For my sinus.

• Q : Rather tasty this is. It looks like a watch, but, it's really a laser. It keeps perfect time.

  James Bond : But, for how long?

  Q : At least your lifetime.

• James Bond : C'est la vie.

  Domino Petachi : C'est la vie?

  James Bond : Such is life.

  Domino Petachi : Such is life.

• Largo : So, a drink?

  James Bond : Vodka martini.

  Largo : Of course.

• James Bond : Commander Pederson, are you equipped with the new XT-7B's?

  Captain Pederson : That's Top Secret! How do you know about them?

  James Bond : From a Russian translation of one of your service manuals. Sorry, old boy.

• James Bond : We're both humble servants of the Crown, Alge.

  Q : If the CIA made me an offer, I'd be off like a shot! Unlimited resources. Air conditioning. Twenty-eight flavors of ice cream in the restaurant.

• James Bond : What's the score with Largo?

  Small-Fawcett : Oh, he's highly visible in these parts. Enormously wealthy. Owns the biggest boat in the Caribbean...

  James Bond : You've met him?

  Small-Fawcett : Yes. He's charming. I mean - foreign. But, charming, nonetheless.

• Small-Fawcett : You're not going to make any trouble, are you Mr. Bond? Let's face it. Your reputation has proceeded you.

  James Bond : Do I look like the sort of man who would make trouble?

  Small-Fawcett : Well, yes, frankly. And you're going to jeopardize the tourists trade if you start going around killing people.

• Fatima Blush : Hello, James. I'm Fatima Blush.

  James Bond : You ski very well.

  Fatima Blush : I do many things very well.

• Leiter : It's gonna be your ass, James.

  James Bond : Thank you.

• James Bond : Now, hard or soft - massage?

  Domino Petachi : Hard, please.

• Domino Petachi : Oh! Could you go a little lower, please.

  James Bond : Lower?

  Domino Petachi : Yes, please. Yes. Oh, right there. Oh, it feels *so* good!

• James Bond : Hello, again. I do owe you an explanation. My name is Bond, James Bond. May I offer you a drink?

• James Bond : Vodka on the rocks, please.

• James Bond : [about one of Q's spy gadgets: a pen that shoots a lethally explosive charge]  You could write a very binding contract with this.

• James Bond : Your brother's dead. Keep dancing!

• James Bond : Since you took over, sir, you've had little use for the "Double-O"s. I've spent most of my time teaching, not doing.

  M : It's no secret I hold your methods in much less regard than my illustrious predecessor did. But my duty is to keep you up to par.
