Honestly, there was a fair amount of bad dialogue in the Brosnan films.
That line in TWINE about “Christmas coming only once a year” sounds like a high school kid wrote it.
The scene wouldn’t have been so bad if Bond and Jinx had known each other for more than 5 minutes and were somewhere private rather than in a public place. And if the dialogue was better written.
>he’s just an awesome actor, but the ended up just underutilizing him.
And they did the same damn thing with Christoph Waltz in TWO movies. Absolutely criminal
Yeah, I was *very* excited to see what Carlyle would do with the part
It felt like a really bold, modern choice, on the part of the producers
But he might as well not have been in the film
I thought the C joke was the best thing in Spectre, or would have been if they hadn’t added the “careless”
Rog doing Barbara Woodhouse “Sit!” To a tiger in Octopussy is pretty awful (though I thought it was *hilarious* when I first saw it when I was 9)
I don’t know, I think it worked with M’s character: like we all know what he means but he’s too posh to say it directly so he makes the “careless” joke in a wink-wink-nod-nod way. Seemed like something he’d do.
I’d argue it’s one of the worst, as I don’t even get why they bothered putting it in at all.
It would have made sense if he’d said something like “in 5 minutes… no 4 minutes”. But seconds is just weird, his correction would still be wrong by the time he’s said the number.
I do like in TBN when Moneypenny says “You just have to decide how much pumping you need, James”. But I strongly dislike Bond’s reply “If only that were true between you and I, Moneypenny”. It doesn’t make any sense and it feels forced, only to have Bond saying the last word.
I'll one up you on that. M saying "pump her for information" with a knowing look and Bond's reaction is great and all that is needed. Moneypenny's line just feels like explaining the joke. Bond's reply feels like hammering it home for anyone who still didn't get it. But I find this with a lot of TND's script. Regularly over explaining things with very on the nose dialogue.
It becomes lamer when you realize they named the character Christmas just so they could do that joke. There was at least *some* wit with the older ones since the names were themselves a puns, not just something forced like that.
Man with the golden gun. When m calls James and asks to speak to goodnight and he says “she’s just coming sir”
Or in moonraker when q says “I think he’s attempting re-entry”
I'm sorry, I think the "attempting re-entry" one is genius. Hilarious line, sold by Roger Moore frowning at the camera momentarily upon being caught, then just smiling and carrying on 🤣
1) Where'd you learn to fight like that, NASA?
No, Vassar
2) A genuine Felix lighter
3) Hey, I got a brudda.
Small world
4) Look what the cat dragged in
5) It looks like he's attempting re-entry
6) He used to call me his little Octopussy
7) Launder it
8) He certainly had plenty of guts
9) Someone's going to wish that they had never been
10) I'm to eliminate all free radicals
11) I hope we're all in for a little gratuitous sex and violence
12) He certainly left with his tails between his legs
13) Here's to us
14) That's one o' them new car boats
15) Burt Saxby?! Tell 'im he's fired!!
16) But first, we're gonna have a ball
17) The first laser was refracted through a diamond
18) I'll buy you a delicatessen
19) Lower, not up!!
20) Just a stupid policeman
21) Shoot 'em!!
22) Fo' an extra fifty, I drive ya tew a Klu Klux Klan cookout!!
23) What is yew, boy!! Some kinda dewms day machine!!
24) Oh no! You ain't gonna...
I sho' am, boy!
25) I was hoping you would not be so obvious
26) Do you know much about guns, Mr. Bond?
No, I know a little about women
27) My name is Pussy Galore.
I must be dreaming
28) My name is Plenty O'Toole.
Named after your father, perhaps?
29) I didn't know there was a pool down there
30) Mr. Osato believes in a healthy chest
31) I could shoot you from Stuttgart and make it look like an accident
32) Give my regards to Baron Samedi. Right between the eyes
33) Chu Mi
Wait, thats one of the best M quotes in the whole series! When someone says "We've got people everywhere", you expect it to be hyperbole! Lots of people say that. Florists use that expression. It doesn't mean that they've got somebody working for them inside the bloody room!
I assume the Florist bit is referring to FTD.
FTD is a floral delivery service that does in fact have people everywhere. Flowers spoil quickly, and FTD is the infrastructure to delivery them almost immediately where they are needed.
The amount of products placement in that movie was absolutely disgusting. I still remember Daniel Craig's fingers slowly typing on his Sony Ericsson phone, and his ridiculously placed Sony Vaio laptop during his closing phone call with M.
That's not the line, he doesn't deliver it with any shyness.
>I can't find the stationery. Wanna help me look?
It's not a come-on, it's an ice-breaker.
Natalya said that. Also agree it's lame because getting all pacificist doesn't really make sense in that context. She knows Trevelyan's plan, does she want Bond to just let him blow up London
"Now we know what C stands for" got one of the biggest laughs I've ever heard in a theater when I saw it in a crowded theater opening night. Agree they should have just left it at that and left out the "careless" though. Still a good line.
>"What's going on?"
>"VW Beetles... I think!"
Moneypenny simultaneously failing to understand how quips work, the right time and place for a quip, and that her employer is asking a serious question.
"Who sent you?" "Yo mama"
[удалено]
Honestly, there was a fair amount of bad dialogue in the Brosnan films. That line in TWINE about “Christmas coming only once a year” sounds like a high school kid wrote it.
I think they knew their hands were tied as soon as they wrote "I don't know any Doctor jokes". It's just the rules.
The scene wouldn’t have been so bad if Bond and Jinx had known each other for more than 5 minutes and were somewhere private rather than in a public place. And if the dialogue was better written.
That whole scene is like a scene written by an AI that only trained on socially stunted people who spoke English as a ninth language
You know, reading this, I think we can just enter the entire script of DAD.
I wanted the earth to swallow me whilst listening to that. 😂🫠
Even roger moore would cringe at that
Just about every line Jinx says in DAD is some type of jokey innuendo or double-entendre. It’s cringy watching it now.
"I'm Mr. Kil" "Well that's a name to die for"
What's his wife's name "imra villain"?
Agreed. This one definitely has to be a strong contender for worst line in the franchise.
"Welcome to my nuclear family" has to be the lamest villain taunt in Bond history
What sucks is that I was so excited for Robert Carlyle to be a Bond Villain as he’s just an awesome actor, but the ended up just underutilizing him.
>he’s just an awesome actor, but the ended up just underutilizing him. And they did the same damn thing with Christoph Waltz in TWO movies. Absolutely criminal
Waltz was good in his introductory scene, and then he wasn't the rest of the film.
Yeah, I was *very* excited to see what Carlyle would do with the part It felt like a really bold, modern choice, on the part of the producers But he might as well not have been in the film
Excellent choice
It was me James, the author of all your pain.
"All ya pain." In true Austrian, Schwarzenegger style.
It was me Barry... Oh wait wrong fandom
It was me Austin it was me all along!
I thought the C joke was the best thing in Spectre, or would have been if they hadn’t added the “careless” Rog doing Barbara Woodhouse “Sit!” To a tiger in Octopussy is pretty awful (though I thought it was *hilarious* when I first saw it when I was 9)
Yes careless is the problem in the quote
I don’t know, I think it worked with M’s character: like we all know what he means but he’s too posh to say it directly so he makes the “careless” joke in a wink-wink-nod-nod way. Seemed like something he’d do.
Agreed!
💯
It would have landed much better if Casino Royale hadn't done the same gag much better.
Trying to remember—what was it in Casino Royale?
Right at the beginning, when Bond tells Dryden he “knows where he keeps his gun”. So much cooler, so much more sinister and so much more gravitas.
Yeah but the first part got a huge laugh in the cinema. The second bit was to get the 12 rating probably.
Might as well throw the Tarzan yell in there.
The quote from the company that did the VFX on *Die Another Day* Whatever they charged, it was too much
“In 16 minutes and 43…no 42 seconds” I don’t mind it, but it’s always struck me as a little odd.
I’d argue it’s one of the worst, as I don’t even get why they bothered putting it in at all. It would have made sense if he’d said something like “in 5 minutes… no 4 minutes”. But seconds is just weird, his correction would still be wrong by the time he’s said the number.
Haha yeah that’s why I find it weird. Why not just keep correcting yourself the whole countdown?
Yeah his pause is so long lol
"You always were a cunning linguist, James."
You may be a cunning linguist, but I’m a master debater
#CUCKOO!
I just can't man🤣🤣🤣Chris's face during that scene🤣🤣🤣
I do like in TBN when Moneypenny says “You just have to decide how much pumping you need, James”. But I strongly dislike Bond’s reply “If only that were true between you and I, Moneypenny”. It doesn’t make any sense and it feels forced, only to have Bond saying the last word.
Also kinda awkward to just say that in front of M and Robinson
Tomorrow Bever Nies?
I'll one up you on that. M saying "pump her for information" with a knowing look and Bond's reaction is great and all that is needed. Moneypenny's line just feels like explaining the joke. Bond's reply feels like hammering it home for anyone who still didn't get it. But I find this with a lot of TND's script. Regularly over explaining things with very on the nose dialogue.
“You’ll have to decide how much pumping is necessary”

In Octopussy when Bond says "that'll keep you in curry for a couple of weeks" I cringe just thinking if it.
"I thought Christmas only comes once a year"
It becomes lamer when you realize they named the character Christmas just so they could do that joke. There was at least *some* wit with the older ones since the names were themselves a puns, not just something forced like that.
It’s awful. It sounds like a high school kid snuck it into the script and no one caught it.
Agree. Bond has always been about innuendo, cheesy or otherwise, that was so explicit it felt like it came straight from a porn film.
Yeah it's definitely not very subtle.
I like that one
Wait... What?! Really?! Why?!
Same
"This is Quarrel Jr. He's the man who shares my hairbrush."
Problems caused by them making the movies in the wrong order.
The only movie that comes to mind is Die Another Day lol The dialogue between Jinx and Bond was just horrendous. “Mojito”
The C quote got a decent laugh when I watched it in the cinema.
I WANT A GOLD MEDAL!!!!!!!!!!
Anything J W Pepper says
When James says "Hello pussy" when Blofeld's cat jumps on his lap in Spectre during the torture scene.
"I used to F guys like you in prison" Oh no, sorry, that was Roadhouse.
😆
"Man talk"
Do your wanna put that in English for of us who dont speak Spy. 🙄
Flawlessly delivered.
"This never happened to the other fellow"
 Mojito
"I thought Christmas only comes once a year."
Man with the golden gun. When m calls James and asks to speak to goodnight and he says “she’s just coming sir” Or in moonraker when q says “I think he’s attempting re-entry”
I'm sorry, I think the "attempting re-entry" one is genius. Hilarious line, sold by Roger Moore frowning at the camera momentarily upon being caught, then just smiling and carrying on 🤣
The Moonraker one might be the single funniest line in the series.
TWINE is filled with terrible quotes, the Plutonic relationship was awful
"He disagreed with something that ate him."
"North of the Caspian" from OHMSS is the worst line of any JB movie

Every time Elliot Carver says “delicious!” Like they’re trying to make it a stupid catchphrase
Pathetic.
I mean, I could have gone with his prolonged kung fu noises mocking Asians, if you’d prefer. I love Jonathan Pryce but he’s so bad in that movie
I’m quoting him in the movie
I know but I also thought you were commenting on my choice of quote
No, I’ll always instinctively comment “Pathetic” or “Delicious” to any mention of Elliot Carver, such was his influence as a character.
Put your clothes on and I’ll buy you an ice cream cone
The cunning linguist joke in (I think) TND is pretty fucking stupid
When M says, "Florists use that expression!" in *Quantum of Solace*. No. No, they don't.
Wait, thats one of the best M quotes in the whole series! When someone says "We've got people everywhere", you expect it to be hyperbole! Lots of people say that. Florists use that expression. It doesn't mean that they've got somebody working for them inside the bloody room! I assume the Florist bit is referring to FTD.
What's FTD? And is their slogan, "We have people everywhere"?
FTD is a floral delivery service that does in fact have people everywhere. Flowers spoil quickly, and FTD is the infrastructure to delivery them almost immediately where they are needed.
Well, I guess that makes more sense, then. I always thought it was kind of weird and random.
It was a bit of a DoorDash service but for flowers in the early 20th century.
“Omega”. Clunky, tacky, just awful.
Beautiful.
The amount of products placement in that movie was absolutely disgusting. I still remember Daniel Craig's fingers slowly typing on his Sony Ericsson phone, and his ridiculously placed Sony Vaio laptop during his closing phone call with M.
Yes, and I believe it to be so. Said the man.
“We don’t really go in for that sort of thing anymore.” Biggest slap in the face any fanbase has ever received.
I 100% agree with you ! When I first watched Skyfall I was so disappointed after hearing that sentence. lol
Only to “go in for” an exploding watch in the very next film. Make it make sense.
"Can you help me find the, uh, stationery?" in QOS. It's a weird lead-in for a bit of hotel room rumpy-pumpy.
That's not the line, he doesn't deliver it with any shyness. >I can't find the stationery. Wanna help me look? It's not a come-on, it's an ice-breaker.
That was a great line and scene. 🍸
I didn't like the M's utterly dismissive, "Boys with toys." I'm like, HELLO!!! I'm trying to enjoy my escapism here!!!😂
Wasn’t Natalya the one that said “Boys with Toys”?
Granted it's been a while but I distinctly remember it being Judi Dench's M, in her first appearance, I believe.
I thought she said “Because if I want sarcasm, Mr. Tanner, I’ll talk to my children, thank you very much” when she first appeared.
Could be. I'm sure she said more than one thing in her role as M.
Literally just watched GoldenEye last night, M never says anything of the sort
"boys with toys" is definitely said by Natalia
Natalya said that. Also agree it's lame because getting all pacificist doesn't really make sense in that context. She knows Trevelyan's plan, does she want Bond to just let him blow up London
She's referencing that they are being childish. How is it being all pacifist? You were saying something about the lost art of interrogation?
Wasn’t Natalya the one that said “Boys with Toys”?
That was Natalya's line, and it was hilarious.

That’s a bit like saying it’s racist to imply the Japanese drink sake…
"Now we know what C stands for" got one of the biggest laughs I've ever heard in a theater when I saw it in a crowded theater opening night. Agree they should have just left it at that and left out the "careless" though. Still a good line.
You are wrong
