Diamonds
are Forever
M: We do function in your absence, Commander.
[To
Tiffany while he's in bed with her]
James Bond: Presumably I'm the condemned
man and obviously you're the hearty breakfast.
Mr.
Wint: The scorpion.
Mr. Kidd: One of nature's finest killers, Mr. Wint.
Mr.
Wint: One is never too old to learn from a master, Mr. Kidd.
[After
sealing Bond in a coffin and conveying him into a crematorium's furnace.]
Mr.
Wint: Very moving.
Mr. Kidd: Heartwarming, Mr. Wint.
Mr. Wint: A glowing
tribute, Mr. Kidd.
Sir
Donald Munger: Tell me, Commander, how far does your expertise extend into the
field of diamonds?
James Bond: Well, hardest substance found in naturey cut
glass, suggest marriages, I suppose it replaced the dog as the girl's best friend.
That's about it.
M: Refreshing to hear that there is one subject you're not
an expert on!
Blofeld:
The satellite is now over... Kansas. Well, if we blow up Kansas the world may
not hear about it for years.
Mr.
Kidd: If God had wanted man to fly ...
Mr. Wint: ...He would have given him
wings, Mr. Kidd.
Mr.
Kidd: Welly're aboard, and I must say, Miss Case is quite lovely.
[Mr. Wint
glares at him]
Mr. Kidd: ...For a woman.
[Tiffany
Case opens the door almost nude]
Tiffany Case: I'll finish dressing.
James
Bond: Oh please don't, not on my account.
Felix
Leiter: I give up. I know the diamonds are in the body, but where?
James Bond:
Alimentary, my dear Leiter...
Driver:
The stiff, ehm deceased back there... Your brother, Mr. Franks?
James Bond:
Yes, it was.
Passenger: I got a brother.
James Bond: Small world.
Plenty
O'Toole: Hi, I'm Plenty.
James Bond: But of course you are.
Plenty O'Toole:
Plenty O'Toole.
James Bond: Named after your father perhaps?
[James
Bond is lucky with the dice while gambling]
Plenty O'Toole: You handle those
cubes like a monkey handles coconuts.
James
Bond: That's a nice little nothing you're almost wearing.
[Plenty
O'Toole is thrown out of the window by some goons perhaps from the 10th floor,
and lands in the middle of the hotel's swimming pool]
James Bond: [looking
down] Exceptionally fine shot.
Goon: I didn't know there was a pool down there.
[A
couple of oil workers open a hatch down to the oil pipe, and James Bond comes
up to their surprise]
James Bond: Thank you very much. I was just out walking
my RAT and seem to have lost my way...
James
Bond: Good morning, gentlemen. ACME pollution inspection. We're cleaning up the
world, we thought this was a suitable starting point.
James
Bond: Weren't you a blonde when I came in?
Tiffany Case: Could be.
James
Bond: I tend to notice little things like that -- whether a girl is a blonde or
a brunette.
[To
a rat.]
James Bond: Well, one of us smells like a tart's handkerchief.
[sniffs]
James Bond: I'm afraid it's me. Sorry, old boy.
Sir
Donald Munger: You have been on holiday, I understand. Relaxing, I hope?
James
Bond: Oh, hardly relaxing, but most satisfying.
James
Bond: Pity about your liver, sir. Unusually fine Solera. '51, I believe.
M:
There is no year for sherry, 007.
James Bond: I was referring to the original
vintage on which the sherry is based, sir. 1851, unmistakable.
Sir Donald
Munger: Precisely.
Mr.
Wint: Curious, how everyone who touches those diamonds seems to die.
James
Bond: What can I bring you back from Holland?
Miss Moneypenny: A diamond?
In a ring?
James Bond: Would you settle for a tulip?
[Bond leaves]
Miss
Moneypenny: Mm, yes.
Tiffany
Case: Listen, you can drop me off at the next corner. This whole thing is getting
a little out of hand. No regrets, but when you start stealing moon machines from
Willard Whyte, GOOD bye and GOOD Luck!
James Bond: Just relax, I have a friend
named Felix who can fix anything.
Tiffany Case: Is he married?
[After
being pulled over by the sherriff]
Tiffany Case: [sarcastically] Relax, you've
got a friend named Felix who can fix anything.
James Bond: Unfortunately,
so can Willard Whyte.
Blofeld:
You're showing a bit more cheek than usual Miss Case.
[The guards take her
to a cell]
Blofeld: Too bad, such nice cheeks too...
Blofeld:
Press 'L' Mr. Bond word 'Lobby' begins with 'L'.
[Plenty
O'Toole is found face down in a swimming pool]
Tiffany Case: She's...
James
Bond: Dead. Supposed to be you. The next link in the "pipeline".
Tiffany
Case: What are you talking about?!
James Bond: Poor Plenty must have stumbled
in here looking for you.
Tiffany Case: I don't believe you!
James Bond:
A dentist is dead in South Africa. That little old lady in Amsterdam. Shady got
his last night. They've missed me once. And you're next. Now, who's your connection?
Tiffany Case: You sound like a cop-
[Slaps her]
James Bond: Who's
your connection!?
Tiffany Case: All I know, his voice is on a phone. They
got me this place and told me to wait for further instructions.
James Bond:
You'll find that rather difficult to hear underwater.
[Bond
tastes the Mouton Rothschild wine served]
James Bond: The wine is quite excellent.
Although for such a grand meal I would have expected a claret.
Mr. Wint: But
of course. Unfortunately our cellar is poorly stocked with clarets.
James
Bond: Mouton Rothschild IS a claret. And, I've smelled that aftershave on you
before and both times I've smelled a rat.
Blofeld:
Making mud pies, 007?
James
Bond: What do you intend to do with those diamonds?
Blofeld: An excellent
question. And one which will be hanging on the lips of the world quite soon. If
I were to break the news to anyone it would be to you first, Mr Bond, you know
that.
Blofeld:
Good evening, Mr Bond.
James Bond: Blofeld?
Blofeld Double: Good evening,
007.
Blofeld: Double jeopardy, Mr Bond.
Blofeld:
You killed my only other double, and after his death, volunteers were understandably.......rather
scarce.
