Vesper Lynd: You love me? James Bond: Enough to travel the world with you until one of us has to take an honest job... which I think is going to have to be you, because I have no idea what an honest job is.

[angrily to M] The job's done and the bitch is dead.

Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

Bond: No. It would have proved that she's guilty, not that he's innocent. It could have been a double blind. Keep sweating him. [pause] M: You don't trust anyone, do you, James? Bond: No.

Bond: It's just that not so long ago, I would have described your feelings towards me as, um...well, I'm trying to think of a better word than 'loathing'. Vesper: I'm afraid I'm a complicated woman. Bond: That is something to be afraid of.

Bond: Well, I understand double-0's have a very short life expectancy, so your mistake will be short-lived. M: Bond, this may be too much for a blunt instrument to understand, but arrogance and self-awareness seldom go hand-in-hand. Bond: So you want me to be half-monk, half-hitman?

[A bartender comes to the poker table to take drink orders.] Bond: Dry martini. Bartender: Oui, monsieur. Bond: Wait. Three measures of Gordon's gin, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake until it's ice cold and add a thin slice of lemon peel.

Who the hell do they think they are? I report to the Prime Minister, and even he's smart enough not to ask me what we do. Have you ever seen such a bunch of self-righteous, arse-covering prigs?
