  James Bond : Moneypenny! What gives?

  Miss Moneypenny : Me, given an ounce of encouragement. You've never taken me to dinner looking like this. You've never taken me to dinner...

  Miss Moneypenny : Flattery will get you nowhere - but don't stop trying.

• Dr. No : The Americans are fools. I offered my services; they refused. So did the East. Now they can both pay for their mistake.

  Honey Ryder : Stay where you are.

  James Bond : I promise you, I won't steal your shells.

• Dr. No : [to Bond]  I was curious to see what kind of man you were. I thought there may be even a place for you with SPECTRE.

• [Showing prisoners Bond and Honey around their cell] 

  Sister Lily : Don't hesitate to ring if there's anything else you want. Anything at all.

  James Bond : [whispering]  Careful. The whole place is probably wired for sound.

• James Bond : Now, don't worry, Quarrel. Everything's going to be fine.

  Quarrel : You say so, Captain. Bottom part of where my belly used to be tells me different.

  James Bond : For me, Crab Key's going to be a gentle relaxation.

  Felix Leiter : From what? Dames?

  James Bond : No, from being a clay pigeon.

• Major Boothroyd : [to M, referring to Bond's Beretta]  Nice and light... in a lady's handbag.

  M : Any comment, 007?

  James Bond : I disagree, sir. I've carried the Beretta for ten years, and I've never missed with it.

  M : No, but it jammed on you last job, and you spent six months in hospital in consequence. When you carry a 00 number, you have a license to kill, not get killed. Furthermore, since I've been head of MI7

  [sic - MI6] 

  M : there's been a forty percent drop in casualties, and I want to keep it that way. From now on you carry the Walther... unless you'd rather return to standard intelligence duties.

  James Bond : No sir, I would not.

  M : [to Boothroyd]  Show him, Armourer.

  Major Boothroyd : [to Bond]  Walther PPK, 7.65 millimeter, with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window. The American CIA swear by them.

  James Bond : Well, hello! What are you doing here? Do you need help?

  [Honey stands up in the boat] 

  Felix Leiter : I'm quite sure you don't.

• Dr. No : [about his aquarium]  The glass is convex, 10 inches thick, which accounts for the magnifying effect.

  James Bond : Minnows pretending they're whales. Just like you on this island, Dr. No.

  Dr. No : It depends, Mr. Bond, on which side of the glass you are.

• Hotel Valet : One medium dry vodka martini, mixed like you said, sir, and not stirred.

  James Bond : Thank you.

• Felix Leiter : Felix Leiter, Central Intelligence Agency. You must be James Bond.

  James Bond : You mean we're fighting the same war?

• Miss Taro : [as Bond unzips her towel dress]  What's going on behind my back?

  James Bond : Nothing. Look, no hands!

  [they kiss passionately] 

• [explaining why she believes the legend about Crab Key's fire-breathing dragon] 

  Honey Ryder : How well do you know about animals? Did you ever see a mongoose dance? Or, a scorpion with sunstroke sting itself to death? Or, a praying mantis eat her husband after making love?

  James Bond : I hate to admit it, but, I haven't.

  Honey Ryder : Well, I have.

• Honey Ryder : I'm glad your hands are sweating too.

  James Bond : Of course, I'm scared too.

  James Bond : Another time.

• James Bond : I'm hungry. Let's go out and eat.

  Miss Taro : I'll make you a Chinese dinner here.

  James Bond : No. I'm feeling Italian and musical. Let's go to the Mountain Grill.

  James Bond : Yes. But, I don't want you getting dishpan hands.

• James Bond : [Bond has overpowered Mr Jones on an isolated road]  Now talk!

• James Bond : Where did you take him on your boat?

  Quarrel : [pointing out to sea]  You see that, Captain. That there's the Caribbean. That's where. Fishing.

  Felix Leiter : Nothing much, except his name: Dr. No.

• Honey Ryder : [singing]  Underneath the mango tree, La-la-la-la-de, Come watch for the moon, La-la-la mango tree, Me honey and me make boolooloop, Underneath the mango tree, Make boolooloop soon, La-la-la-de-da-da, Me honey and me...

  James Bond : [singing]  Underneath the mango tree, Ma honey and me...

  Honey Ryder : Who's that?

• James Bond : What's your name?

  Honey Ryder : Ryder.

  James Bond : Ryder what?

  Honey Ryder : Honey Ryder.

• James Bond : There's no point in involving the girl at this stage. She has nothing to do with us. Let her go free. She'll promise not to talk.

  James Bond : I don't want you here.

  Dr. No : I agree. This is no place for the girl. Take her away.

  Honey Ryder : No. No! Let go of me.

  Dr. No : I'm sure the guards will amuse her.

  Honey Ryder : I suppose so.

• James Bond : Why do you want another picture of me?

  Photographer : Because I only got your hat at the airport. Tell this ape to let me go!

  Photographer : Because that's the way I earn my living.
