M: Find Bond!

---

James Bond: How long have I got?
Felix Leiter: Thirty seconds.
James Bond: That doesn't give us a lot of time...

---

M: This is about trust. You said you weren't motivated by revenge.
James Bond: I am motivated by my duty.
M: No... I think you're so blinded by inconsolable rage that you don't care who you hurt. When you can't tell your friends from your enemies, it's time to go.

---

M: It'd be a pretty cold bastard who didn't want revenge for the death of someone he loved.

---

Felix Leiter: You know who Greene is and you want to put us in bed with him.
Gregg Beam: Yeah, you're right. We should just deal with nice people.

---

James Bond: [Bond is holding Yusef and Corinne at gunpoint] *Sit down!*
[they both sit]
James Bond: [looking at Corinne] You're Canadian...? You work in Canadian intelligence?
Corinne: [doesn't answer]
James Bond: That's all right... I know you do. And knowing this man, you likely have access to some very sensitive material that you're going to be forced to give up. His life will be threatened... and because you love him, you won't hesitate.
[pauses]
James Bond: That's a beautiful necklace. Did he give it to you?
Corinne: [still doesn't answer]
James Bond: [showing her Vesper's necklace] I have one just like it. He gave it to a friend of mine... someone very close to me. Your name is...?
Corinne: Corinne.
James Bond: Corinne... Corinne, I suggest you leave now. You contact your people, and you tell them to check their seals. They have a leak. Do it now, please. This man and I have some unfinished business.
Corinne: [softly, as she leaves] Thank you.

---

Dominic Greene: My friends call me Dominic.
James Bond: I'm sure they do.

---

Dominic Greene: [regarding James Bond] Everything he touches withers and dies.

---

Camille: You lost somebody?
James Bond: I did.
Camille: You catch who ever did it?
James Bond: No, not yet.
Camille: Tell me when you do, I'd like to know how it feels...

---

M: Who the hell is this organisation Bond? How can they be everywhere and we know nothing about them!

---

Mathis: [speaks to Bond regarding Vesper] She would have done anything for you... forgive her, forgive yourself.

---

Dominic Greene: [Speaks into the earpiece] This is the world's most precious resource, we need to control as much of it as we can.

---

[last lines]
M: Bond, I need you back.
James Bond: I never left.

---

Mr. White: [after his associates have fled the opera house] I guess Tosca isn't for everyone.

---

James Bond: [Interrupting the opera house conversation] Can I offer an opinion? I really think you people should find a better place to meet.

---

James Bond: [to Camille] Take a deep breath, you only got one shot, make it count.

---

James Bond: [at a dirty, small motel] What are we doing?
Strawberry Fields: We're teachers on sabbatical. This fits our cover.
James Bond: No it doesn't. I'd rather stay at a morgue. Come on.
[they go to a nicer hotel]
James Bond: [to the hotel receptionist] Hello. We're teachers on sabbatical and we've just won the lottery.

---

Camille: [Regarding Bond] There is something horribly efficient about you.

---

M: Ask him about Slate.
Tanner: She wants to know about Slate.
James Bond: Slate was a dead end.
Tanner: He says it was a dead end.
M: Damn it! He killed him.

---

James Bond: I don't think the dead care about vengeance.

---

Mathis: [to James Bond] I was sorry to hear about Vesper. I think she loved you.

---

M: If you could avoid killing every possible lead, it would be deeply appreciated.
James Bond: I'll do my best.
M: I've heard that before.

---

M: When someone says that they have people everywhere, you expect it to be hyperbole. Lots of people say that. Florists use that expression. It doesn't mean that they have people in the bloody room.

---

Strawberry Fields: Mr. Bond, my name is Fields. I'm from the consulate.
James Bond: Of course you are. And what do you do at the consulate Fields?
Strawberry Fields: That's not important. My orders are to turn you around and put you on the first plane to London.
James Bond: [Walking past her] Do those orders include my friend Mathis?
Strawberry Fields: [to Mathis] I'm sorry, I don't know who you are.
James Bond: [to Mathis] You see? You've been gone for such a short time and you're already forgotten.
Mathis: You're just saying that to hurt me.
Strawberry Fields: [Following Bond out] Mr. Bond, these orders come from the highest possible authority.
James Bond: Taxi! Fields, when is the next flight to London?
Strawberry Fields: Tomorrow morning.
James Bond: Well then, we have all night.
Strawberry Fields: If you attempt to flee I will arrest you, drop you off at the jail and take you to the plane in chains, understand?
James Bond: [Opening the taxi door] Perfectly. After you.
Mathis: I think she has handcuffs.
James Bond: I hope so.

---

Camille: [notices they are being followed] Friend of yours?
James Bond: I have no friends.

---

Felix Leiter: James, move your ass!

---

Dominic Greene: There is nothing that makes me more uncomfortable than friends talking behind my back. Feels like... ants under my skin.

---

Camille: You sent someone to kill me?
Dominic Greene: Please don't talk to me like I'm stupid... It's unattractive.

---

M: You killed a man in Brigenz.
James Bond: I did my best not to.
M: You shot him in cold blood and threw him off a roof. I would hardly call that showing restraint!

---

James Bond: Are you going to tell us who you work for?
Mr. White: I was always very interested to meet you. I heard so much about you from Vesper. The real shame is, if she hadn't killed herself we would've had you too.

---

M: The Americans are gonna be none too pleased.
James Bond: I promised them Le Chiffre and they got him.
M: They got his body.
James Bond: Well, if they wanted his soul, they should have made a deal with a priest.

---

[drags Mr. White onto an interrogation chair]
James Bond: Don't bleed to death.

---

Camille: So, what's your interest in Greene?
James Bond: Among other things, he tried to kill a friend of mine.
Camille: A woman?
James Bond: Yes. But it's not what you think.
Camille: Your mother?
James Bond: She likes to think so.

---

Mr. White: The first thing you should know about us is... we have people everywhere.

---

James Bond: You know I was just wondering what South America would look like if nobody gave a damn about coke or communism. It always impressed me the way you boys would carve this place up.
Felix Leiter: I'll take that as a compliment coming from a Brit.

---

[first lines]
James Bond: It's time to get out.

---

Mathis: I have pills for everything. Some make you taller... some make you forget.

---

Yusef: [Bond is holding him at gunpoint] Please. Make it quick.

---

[Bond shows up for his rendezvous with Camille having just survived a knife-fight]
Camille: You're late!
James Bond: Got pulled into a meeting.

---

James Bond: They say you're judged by the strength of your enemies.

---

Dominic Greene: you should know something about me and the people i work with. We deal with the left and the right, dictators or liberators. If the current president had been more agreeable, I wouldn't be talking to you. So if you decide not to sign, you'll wake up with your balls in your mouth and your willing replacement standing over you... if you doubt that, then shoot me, take that money and have a good night's sleep.
