Goldfinger
[After
knocking a lamp into a bathtub to electrocute a bad guy.]
James Bond: Shocking!
Positively shocking!
Pussy
Galore: You like a close shave, don't you?
[After
learning Pussy Galore alerted the authorities]
James Bond: I must have appealed
to her maternal instincts.
Pussy
Galore: What happened? Where's Goldfinger?
James Bond: Playing his golden
harp.
Q:
[Showing Bond a tracking device.] Reception on the dashboard, here. Audo-visual
[sic]
Q: , range a hundred and fifty miles.
James Bond: Ingenious,
and useful too. Allow a man to stop off for a quick one en route.
Q: It has
not been perfected, out of years of patient research, ENTIRELY for that purpose,
007. And incidentally, we'd appreciate its return, along with all your other equipment,
INTACT for once, when you return from the field.
James Bond: Well, you'd be
surprised the amount of wear and tear that goes on out there in the field.
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.
James Bond: Yeah, why not?
Q: Because you'll release this section
of the roof, and engage and then fire the passenger ejector seat. Whish!
James
Bond: Ejector seat? You're joking!
Q: I never joke about my work, 007.
[Why
Bond wears a gun.]
James Bond: I have a slight inferiority complex.
James
Bond: My dear girl, there are some things that just aren't done, such as drinking
Dom Perignon '53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's just as
bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs!
Pussy
Galore: My name is Pussy Galore.
James Bond: I must be dreaming.
[Goldfinger
is cheating at golf, with the help of Oddjob.]
Hawker: If that's his original
ball, I'm Arnold Palmer.
James Bond: 'Tisn't.
Hawker: How do you know?
James Bond: I'm standing on it.
James
Bond: You're a woman of many parts, Pussy!
Auric
Goldfinger: Man has climbed Mount Everest, gone to the bottom of the ocean. He's
fired rockets at the Moon, split the atom, achieved miracles in every field of
human endeavor... except crime!
James
Bond: You'll kill 60,000 people uselessly.
Auric Goldfinger: Hah. American
motorists kill that many every two years.
James Bond: Yes, well, I've worked
out a few statistics of my own. $15,000,000,000 in gold bullion weighs 10,500
tons. 60 men would take 12 days to load it onto 200 trucks. Now, at the most,
you're going to have 2 hours before the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines move in
and make you put it back.
Auric Goldfinger: Who mentioned anything about removing
it?
[A
laser is about to cut Bond in half.]
James Bond: Do you expect me to talk?
Auric Goldfinger: No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!
[A
laser is about to cut Bond in half.]
James Bond: I think you made your point.
Thank you for the demonstration.
Auric Goldfinger: Choose your next witticism
carefully Mr. Bond, it may be your last.
James
Bond: Special plane, lunch at the White House... how come?
Felix Leiter: The
President wants to thank you personally.
James Bond: Oh, it was nothing, really.
Felix Leiter: I know that, but he doesn't.
James Bond: I suppose I'll
be able to get a drink there.
Felix Leiter: I told the stewardess liquor for
three.
James Bond: Who are the other two?
Felix Leiter: Oh, there are
no other two.
[Gesturing
to a crushed car.]
Auric Goldfinger: If you'll excuse me, Mr. Bond, I have
to tend to separating my gold from the late Mr. Solo.
James Bond: As you said,
a pressing engagement.
