A character in Live and Let Die (1973)

James Bond quotes from Live and Let Die (1973)

Roger Moore
A line from James Bond [after finding a feathered hat in the cabin, Rosie Carver looks fearful, but Bond tries to console her]

Don't worry darling, it's just a hat, belonging to a small-headed man of limited means, who lost a fight with a chicken.

M

I'm sure the over-burdened British taxpayer would be fascinated to know how its Special Ordinances section disperses its funds. In future, Commander, let me suggest a perfectly adequate watchmaker just down the street. [Bond activates the watch magnet, drawing M's teaspoon to it] Good God!

James Bond

You see, sir, by pulling out this button, it turns the watch into a hyper-intensified magnetic field. Powerful enough to even deflect the path of a bullet - at long range, or so Q claims...

M

I feel very tempted to test that theory right now!

Cab driver

You know where you're going?

James Bond

Uptown, I believe?

Cab driver

Uptown? You headed into Harlem, man!

James Bond

Well you just stay on the tail of that jukebox and there's an extra twenty in it for you.

Cab driver

Hey man, for twenty bucks I'd take you to a Ku Klux Klan cookout!

Rosie Carver

There's a...

James Bond

Oh, a snake. I forgot, I should have told you. You should never go in there without a mongoose.

Mr. Big
[to his men]

Is this the stupid mother who tailed you uptown?

James Bond

There seems to be some mistake. My name is...

Mr. Big

Names is for tombstones, baby! Y'all take this honky out and WASTE HIM! NOW!

James Bond

I'm not in the habit of giving answers to... lackeys.

Mr. Big

You damn lucky you got an ear left to hear the question with!

Solitaire
[Bond has just explained the first two Lover's Lessons to Solitaire]

Is there time before we leave, for Lesson number 3?

James Bond
[undressing]

Of course. There's no sense going out half-cocked.

Tee-Hee
[on a telescopic wooden bridge to the crocodilian enclosure at the farm that Kananga produces heroin at; the bridge is being wound back by Adam]

There are two ways to disable a croc, you know.

James Bond
[stranded on a little island in the enclosure's big lake]

I don't suppose you'd care to tell me what they are.

Tee-Hee

One way is to take a pencil and jam it into the pressure hole behind his eye.

James Bond

And the other?

Tee-Hee

Oh, the other way is twice as simple. [gets off the now wound-back bridge and hands the metal feeding tray to Adam as he shuts the gate] You just put your hand in his mouth [slides the gate's locking bolt into position] and pull his teeth out. [starts laughing loudly as he, Adam and the other two henchmen walk away to the laboratory]

Solitaire
[after Kananga has been exploded by the compressed air pellet]

Where's Kananga?

James Bond

He always did have an over-inflated opinion of himself.
