[edit] James Bond

  • [Making love to his language tutor] I always enjoyed learning a new tongue.
  • Another Carver building. If I didn't know better, I'd say he developed an edifice complex.
  • [to Carver before he is killed by the sea-vac] You forgot the first rule of mass media, Elliot! GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!

[edit] Elliot Carver

  • The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.
  • Soon I'll have reached out to and influenced more people than anybody in the history of this planet, save God himself. And the best he ever managed was the Sermon on the Mount.

[edit] Dialogue

M: I believe you once had a relationship with Carver's wife, Paris.
James Bond: That was a long time ago, M... before she was married. I didn't realize it was public knowledge.
Miss Moneypenny: Queen and country, James.
M: Your job is to find out whether Carver or someone in his organization sent that ship off course, and why. Use your relationship with Mrs. Carver, if necessary.
James Bond: I doubt if she'll remember me.
M: Remind her. Then pump her for information.
Miss Moneypenny: You'll just have to decide how much pumping is needed, James.
James Bond: If only that were true of you and I, Moneypenny.
Elliot Carver: Mr. Wallace, call the President. Tell him if he doesn't sign the bill lowering the cable rates, we will release the video of him with the cheerleader in the Chicago motel room.
Mr. Wallace: Inspired, sir.
Elliot Carver: And after he signs the bill, release the tape anyway.
Mr. Wallace: Consider him slimed.
Admiral Roebuck: With all due respect, M, I think you don't have the balls for this job.
M: Perhaps. But the advantage is, I don't have to think with them all the time.
Q: It's the insurance damage waiver for your beautiful new car. Now, will you need collision coverage?
James Bond: Yes.
Q: Fire?
James Bond: Probably.
Q: Property destruction?
James Bond: Definitely.
Q: Personal Injury?
James Bond: I hope not, but accidents do happen.
Q: They frequently do with you.
James Bond: Well, that takes care of the normal wear-and-tear. Is there any other protection I need?
Q: Only from me 007, unless you bring that car back in pristine order.
Paris Carver: Do you know that I used to read the newspaper every day lpoking for your obituary?
James Bond: Sorry to disappoint.
[Bond has Dr. Kaufman, the assassin who killed Paris, at gunpoint]
Dr. Kaufman: Wait! I'm just a professional doing a job!
James Bond: Me, too. [shoots him dead]
[the phone in Bond's car rings]
James Bond: Yes?
Elliot Carver: Good morning, Mr. Bond. Elliot Carver. I believe you have two things that belong to me.
James Bond: What are you talking about?
Elliot Carver: The red box, Mr. Bond...[pause] and my wife, in your hotel room.
Wai-Lin: It's mostly dull routine, of course, but every now and then you get to sail on a beautiful evening like this. And sometimes work with a decadent agent of a corrupt Western power.
James Bond: And they say communists don't know how to have fun.
