James Bond
- [After placing Fiona's body in a chair after she is shot] Do you mind if my friend sits this one out? She's just dead.
- It looks very difficult. [Shooting from the hip, Bond shatters his clay pigeon] Why no, it isn't, is it!
Others
- Pat Fearing: [after strapping Bond to the motorized traction table] There, first time I've felt safe all day.
Dialogue
- Miss Moneypenny: In the conference room. Something pretty big. Every double-o man in Europe has been rushed in. And the Home Secretary too.
- Bond: His wife probably lost her dog.
- M: I've assigned you to Station "C" Canada.
- 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?
- Bond: Nassau.
- M: Do you think she's worth going after?
- Bond: Well, I wouldn't put it quite like that, sir...
- [As Q is showing Bond new gadgets]
- Q: It is to be handled with special care!
- Bond: Everything you give me...
- Q: ...is treated with equal contempt. Yes, I know.
- Pat Fearing: What exactly do you do?
- Bond: Oh, I travel... a sort of licensed troubleshooter.
- Fiona: Some men just don't like to be driven.
- Bond: No, some men don't like to be taken for a ride.
- Bond: [after making love to the evil Fiona Volpe] My dear girl, don't flatter yourself. What I did this evening was for King 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] ... but not this one!
- Bond: That gun, it looks more fitting for a woman.
- Emilio Largo: You know much about guns, Mr. Bond?
- Bond: No, but I know a little about women.
