Q: Try to be a little less than your frivolous self, 007.

Bond: [draping arm around nurse] Do I seem healthy to you?::Pat Fearing: Too healthy, by far.

Fiona: Some men just don't like to be driven.::Bond: No, some men don't like to be taken for a ride.

Pat Fearing: What exactly do you do?::James Bond: Oh, I travel... a sort of licensed troubleshooter.

[after making love to the evil Fiona Volpe]::James Bond: My dear girl, don't flatter yourself. What I did this evening was for Queen and country. You don't think it gave me any pleasure, do you?::Fiona: But of course, I forgot your ego, Mr. Bond. James Bond, the one where he has to make love to a woman, and she starts to hear heavenly choirs singing. She repents, and turns to the side of right and virtue... [she steps on Bond's foot]... but not this one!

Miss Moneypenny: In the conference room - something pretty big; every double-o man in Europe has been rushed in. And the Home Secretary, too!::James Bond: His wife probably lost her dog.

Quotes:

Mallory: Can you do anything at all?::Corporal Miller: I don't know. There's always a way to blow up explosives. The trick is not to be around when they go off. But aren't you forgetting something? The lady. As I see it we have three choices. One we can leave her here but there's no guarantee she won't be found, and in her case they won't need a truth drug. Two, we can take her with us, but that would make things worse than they are already. And three... well, that's Andrea's choice, remember?::Mallory: You really want your pound of flesh, don't you?::Corporal Miller: Yes, I do. You see, somehow I just couldn't get to sleep.::Mallory: Well, if you're so anxious to kill her, go ahead!::Corporal Miller: I'm not anxious to kill her, I'm not anxious to kill anyone. You see, I'm not a born soldier. I was trapped. You may find me facetious from time to time, but if I didn't make some rather bad jokes I'd go out of my mind. No, I prefer to leave the killing to someone like you, an officer and a gentleman, a leader of men.::Mallory: If you think I wanted this, any of this, you're out of your mind, I was trapped like you, just like anyone who put on the uniform!::Corporal Miller: Of *course* you wanted it, you're an officer, aren't you? I never let them make *me* an officer! I don't want the responsibility!::Mallory: So you've had a free ride, all this time! Someone's *got* to take responsibility if the job's going to get done! You think that's easy?::Corporal Miller: [shouts] I don't know! I'm not even sure who really is responsible any more.

[last lines]::Corporal Miller: To tell you the truth, I didn't think we could do it.::Capt. Keith Mallory: To tell you the truth, neither did I.

Corporal Miller: I've inspected this vessel, and I think you ought to know that, ah, I can't swim.::Mallory: I'll keep it in mind.

Mallory: Are you sure it will work?::Corporal Miller: There's no guarantee, but the theory's perfectly feasible.

[apologizing for involving Mallory in the Navarone mission]::Major Franklin: No, I'm stupid sometimes. Even when I was a kid, I always took it for granted people wanted to play the games I like, and I'd be furious when they didn't.::Capt. Keith Mallory: Well, now they have to, so why worry?

Corporal Miller: Sir, I've inspected this boat, and I think you ought to know that I can't swim.

Capt. Keith Mallory: I have no time for this!::Corporal Miller: Now just a minute! If we're going to get this job done she has got to be killed! And we all know how keen you are about getting the job done! Now I can't speak for the others but I've never killed a woman, traitor or not, and I'm finicky! So why don't you do it? Let us off for once! Go on, be a pal, be a father to your men! Climb down off that cross of yours, close your eyes, think of England, and pull the trigger! What do you say, Sir?

Corporal Miller: Well, right now I say to hell with the job! I've been on a hundred jobs and not one of them's altered the course of the war! I don't care about the war anymore, I care about Roy!::Capt. Keith Mallory: And if Turkey comes into the war on the wrong side?::Corporal Miller: So what? Let the whole bloody world come in and blow itself to pieces, that's what it deserves!

Commodore Jensen: Gentlemen, these men have a special interest in Navarone. I got your radio report, but I thought perhaps you could be more specific.::Squadron Leader Howard Barnsby RAAF: I'll be specific! As you can plainly see, it was ruddy awful. But we'd love to go back. Wouldn't we, boys?::[His boys give several loud cheers]::Squadron Leader Howard Barnsby RAAF: Just as soon as we can! BUT - we've got one condition. We want the joker who thought this one up to come with us. And when we get there, we're gonna shove him out at ten thousand feet - without a parachute.

Mallory: [On Andrea] He's going to kill me when the war's over.::Major Franklin: You're not serious.::Mallory: Yes, I am. So is he.::[pause]::Mallory: About a year ago, I gave a German patrol a safe passage to get some of their wounded into hospital. I guess I still had some romantic notions about fighting a civilized war. Anyway, they wanted Andrea pretty badly, even back then. As soon as they got behind our lines, they shot their casualties, went over to his house, and blew it up. He was out on a job at the time, but his wife and three children were in the house. They were all killed. I helped him to bury them. And then he turned to me and said that as far as he was concerned, it wasn't the Germans who were responsible, but me. Me and my stupid Anglo-Saxon decency. Then he told me what he was going to do, and when.::Major Franklin: You think he still means to do it?::Mallory: He's from Crete. Those people don't make idle threats.
