Dialogue [edit]
- Countess: Oops! Me nightie's slipping.
- James Bond: So's your accent, Countess. Manchester?
- Countess: Close. Liverpool.
- James Bond: That was a rather amusing conversation between you and the owner of this. What exactly did Columbo whisper to you at the restaurant?
- Countess: That you were a spy, and to find out more about you.
- James Bond: And have you?
- Countess: Have I ever.
- Tanner: You were supposed to question Gonzales, not let Miss Havelock perforate him!
- James Bond: I quite agree, sir.
- Frederick Gray: I'm afraid we have to inform the Prime Minister that Operation Undertow is dead in the water. Why... she'll have our guts for garters!
- [Bond enters a confessional]
- James Bond: Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
- Q: [in disguise as the priest] That's putting it mildly, 007!
- Bibi: That's a laugh. Everyone knows it builds up muscle tone.
- James Bond: Well, how about you build up a little more muscle tone by putting on your clothes?
- Bibi: Don't you like me?
- James Bond: [Wearily] Why, I think you're wonderful, Bibi... But I don't think your uncle Aris would approve.
- Bibi: Him? He thinks I'm still a virgin.
- James Bond: Yes, well...you get your clothes on and i'll buy you an ice cream.
- General Gogol arrives to acquire ATAC. He is met by Bond, who throws it against a mountain ridge, shattering it
- James Bond: That's detente, comrade. I don't have it, you don't have it!

- The Prime Minister: [over the phone] Ah, Mr. Bond. I wanted to call you personally and to say how pleased we all are that your mission was a success. Thank you.
- Max the Parrot: Thank you, thank you.
- The Prime Minister: Don't thank me, Mr. Bond. Your courage and resourcefulness are a credit to the nation. Denis and I look forward to meeting you. Meanwhile, if there is anything I can do for you...
- Max the Parrot: Give us a kiss, give us a kiss.
- The Prime Minister: Well, really, Mr. Bond.
- Tanner: I think we're having a little trouble with the line, madam.
- Frederick Gray: [to Q] You idiot. Get on to him.
