James Bond

• A martini. Shaken, not stirred.
  • Note: ranked #90 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema.

Auric Goldfinger

• Man has climbed Mount Everest. Gone to the bottom of the ocean. He has fired rockets at the Moon. Split the atom. Achieved miracles in every field of human endeavour... except crime!

• Choose your next witticism carefully, Mr Bond — it may be your last.

• Mr Bond, they have a saying in Chicago: "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
  • Viewers should note...this line is generally cut from British showings of Goldfinger on advice from British security services, as it is one of their own training maxims.

Dialogue

M: Gold? All over?

Bond: She died of skin suffocation. It's been known to happen to cabaret dancers. It's all right as long as you leave a small bare patch at the base of the spine to allow the skin to breathe.

M: Someone obviously didn't.

Bond: And I know who.

Bond: What do you know about gold Moneypenny?

Moneypenny: The only gold I know about is the sort you wear. You know on the third finger of your left hand.

Bond: One day we really must look into that.

Moneypenny: Well how about tonight? You come round to dinner and I'll cook you a beautiful Angel Cake.

Bond: Nothing would give me greater pleasure but I'm afraid I have a business appointment.

Moneypenny: That's the flimsiest excuse you've ever given me. Ah well some girls have all the luck. Who is she James?

M: [Over the intercom] "She" is ME Miss Moneypenny and if you forego the customary byplay with 007, he's dining with me this evening.

Q: Now this one I'm particularly keen about. You see the gear lever here? Now, if you take the top off, you will find a little red button. Whatever you do, don't touch it.

Bond: Yeah, why not?

Q: Because you'll release this section of the roof, and engage and then fire the passenger ejector seat. Whish!

Bond: Ejector seat? You're joking!

Q: I never joke about my work, 007.

[Goldfinger shows off his industrial laser by having it slowly track toward Bond, lying prone and lashed to slab of gold.]

Bond: Do you expect me to talk?

Goldfinger: [looks back, laughing] No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die! There's nothing about you that I don't already know!

[After his laser encounter, Bond awakens to find a woman staring at him.]

Bond: Who are you?

Pussy Galore: My name is Pussy Galore.

Bond: [looks away, and smiles] I must be dreaming.
