[edit] James Bond

  • I don't think the dead care about vengeance.

[edit] Dominic Greene

  • I knew we shouldn't have slept together. I'm beginning to like you.
  • How much do you know about Bond, Camille? Because he's rather a tragic case... His MI6 file says he's difficult to control; a nice way of saying that everything he touches seems to wither and die. You make a good couple. You're both, what is the expression... damaged goods.
  • You should know something about me and the people I work with. We deal with the left or the right, with 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 will 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.

[edit] M

  • When you can't tell your friends from your enemies, it's time to go.
  • I couldn't give a shit about the CIA and their trumped-up evidence. Bond is my agent, and I trust him.
  • When someone says 'we have people everywhere', you expect it to be hyperbole. Florists use that expression. It doesn't mean there's somebody working for them in the bloody room!

[edit] Dialogue

M: The Americans are going to be none too pleased about this.
Bond: I promised them Le Chiffre and they got Le Chiffre.
M: They got his body.
Bond: If they wanted his soul, they should have made a deal with a priest.
Greene: You just cost me quite a bit of money, darling.
Camille: You can't put a price on integrity.
Greene: I can try. Tell me you didn't drop by tonight just to piss on my parade. Why are you still after this general's head? For your mantel?
Rene Mathis: This man had me kidnapped and tortured, and you serve him fine wine?
Gemma: You only drink the cheap stuff. Anyway, after you were found innocent, they bought you this villa, so you really owe him, don't you think?
Rene Mathis: [irritably] Go work on your tan.
Camille: You lost someone?
Bond: I did, yes.
Camille: Did you catch whoever did it?
Bond: No... not yet.
Camille: Tell me when you do. I'd like to know how it feels.
Camille: Friend of yours?
Bond: I don't have any friends.
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!
Tanner: He says Slate was a dead end.
M: Damn it, he killed him!
M: If you could avoid killing every possible lead, it would be deeply appreciated.
Bond: Yes, ma'am. I'll do my best.
M: I've heard that before.
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 carved this place up.
Felix Leiter: I'll take that as a compliment coming from a Brit.
Dominic Greene: You promised that you'd —
James Bond: Let you go?
Dominic Greene: I answered your questions. I told you what you wanted to know about Quantum.
James Bond: Yes you did. And your friends would know that, so my guess is they're probably looking for you. But the good news is, you're in the middle of a desert. Here. [throws down a can of motor oil] I bet you make it 20 miles before you consider drinking that. Goodbye, Mr. Greene.
[Bond has just found the man who set Vesper up to die trying to seduce another woman]
James Bond: [holds them at gunpoint] Sit down!
[they both sit]
James Bond: [looking at the woman] You're Canadian...? You work in Canadian intelligence?
[The woman says nothing]
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. That's a beautiful necklace. Did he give it to you?
[Bond shows her Vesper's necklace]
James Bond: I have one just like it. He gave it to a friend of mine... someone very close to me. Your name is...?
Woman: 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.
James Bond: Congratulations, you were right.
M: About what?
James Bond: About Vesper. [pause] Ma'am. [starts to walk away]
M: Bond... I need you back.
James Bond: [turns and smiles sadly] I never left.
