Bernard Lee

Colonel Smithers: "Have a little more of this rather disappointing brandy."
M: "What's the matter with it?"
James Bond: "I'd say it was a 30-year-old fine, indifferently blended, sir... with an overdose of bon-bois."
M: "Colonel Smithers is giving the lecture, 007."

James Bond: "Good evening, Sir."
M: "It happens to be 3 a.m. When do you sleep, 007?"
James Bond: "Never on the firm's time, Sir."

James Bond: "Suppose when she meets me in the flesh I... I don't come up to expectations?"
M: "Just see that you do."

Miss Moneypenny: "How about tonight? You'll come over for dinner... and I'll cook you a wonderful angel cake."
James Bond: "Well, nothing would give me greater pleasure, but I'm afraid I have a... business appointment."
Miss Moneypenny: "That's the flimsiest excuse you've ever given me. Oh, well, some girls have all the luck. Who is she, James?"
M: "'She' is me, Miss Moneypenny. And kindly omit the customary byplay with 007. He's dining with me and I don't want him to be late."
Miss Moneypenny: "Then there's hope for me yet."
James Bond: "Moneypenny, won't you ever believe me?"

M: "Gold? All over?"
James 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."
James Bond: "And I know who."

James Bond: "I think it's time Mr. Goldfinger and I met... socially, of course."
Colonel Smithers: "I was hoping you'd say that."
M: "It might lead to a business talk... Mr. Goldfinger's kind of business."

M: [about Dominique] "Do we know where she is now?"
James Bond: "Nassau."
M: "Do you think she's worth going after?"
James Bond: "Well, I wouldn't put it quite like that, sir..."

M: "I've assigned you to Station 'C' Canada."
James Bond: "Sir, I'd respectfully request that you change my assignment to Nassau."
M: "Is there any other reason, besides your enthusiasm for water sports?"
