Quotes 

• Fiona : [after Bond finds her in the bathtub in his hotel room]  Since you're here, would you mind giving me something to put on?

  [Bond casually hands Fiona her shoes] 

• Fiona : You look pale, Mr. Bond. I hope I didn't frighten you.

  Bond : Well you see, I've always been a nervous passenger.

  Fiona : Some men just don't like to be driven.

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

• [after making love to the evil Fiona Volpe] 

  James Bond : My dear girl, don't flatter yourself. What I did this evening was for King 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, who only has to make love to a women and she stars to hear heavenly choirs singing. She repents, then immediately returns to the side of right and virtue... .

  [she steps on Bond's foot] 

  Fiona : ... but not this one!

• [Bond is standing in the doorway between their apartments as Fiona takes a bath] 

  Fiona : Aren't you in the wrong room, Mr. Bond?

  Bond : Not from where I'm standing.

• Francois Derval : You'll be here when I come back?

  Fiona : Mm hmm.

  Francois Derval : But I may not be in the mood then.

  Fiona : Do you wanna bet?

  Francois Derval : You know your Francois, huh?

  Fiona : I know me.

• Emilio Largo : Pull! Of course they are watching us, my dear. What else have they to do?

  Fiona : You would like Bond dead.

  Emilio Largo : I can think of no better arrangement.

  Fiona : Because he tries to make love to your... woman?

  Emilio Largo : Because he is Bond, and, as an enemy of SPECTRE, *should* be killed.

  Fiona : Mark! If Bond had died last night as a result of your hastiness, his government would have known for certain the bombs are here. When the time is right, he will be killed. Pull! I shall kill him.

• Fiona : But the music is gonna go on all night, anyhow. Enough to drive you wild. You like wild things, Mr. Bond, Mr. James Bond? Ah!

  Bond : Wild? You should be locked up in a cage.

  Fiona : Mm. Mm, this bed feels like a cage. All these bars. Do you think I'll be... *safe*?

• Fiona : [after a lovemaking session]  You made a shocking mess out of my hair, you sadistic brute. Will you zip me up, please?

  Bond : Mm! No wonder you can get dressed so quickly. On the way we can have a little talk. You may find it interesting. Come on.

  Fiona : I'm coming. I hate to think I'm going to miss anything.

  [Bond opens the door, Largo's henchmen are there, Bond quickly closes the door] 

  Fiona : And now *we* can go somewhere for an interesting talk.

  Bond : Friends of yours, no doubt.

  [opens the door] 

  Bond : Come in!

  Fiona : You dress quickly, too. I didn't see that gun in the mirror.

  Bond : Not that it matters, but that was under the pillow all the time.

  Fiona : And when did you find out?

  Bond : Well, you're wearing the same ring as Largo.

  Fiona : It's a ring I like to wear.

  Bond : Vanity has its dangers.

  Fiona : Vanity, Mr. Bond? Something you know so *much* about.

• Fiona : [seductively]  Uh, shouldn't you get out of those wet clothes? You'll catch your... death of cold.

• Fiona : What's your name?

  Bond : James Bond.

  Fiona : Fiona Volpe.

  [Fiona takes a turn at high speed] 

  Bond : Fly here often?

  Fiona : Do I make you nervous?

  Bond : No. It's just that I have no desire to be... capsized twice in one night.

  Fiona : Well, at least you won't have to... swim ashore. Have you been here before, Mr. Bond?

  Bond : No, I haven't. But, uh, this *is* the road to Nassau?

  Fiona : Yes... Eventually.

• Palazzi : Not enough. Hundred thousand dollars is not enough.

  Fiona : What are you trying to say?

  Palazzi : I changed my mind. Two years of my life. Studying the film, the reports. Plastic operations, voice lessons. Make it a quarter of a million. Or get someone else.

  Ambulance Attendant : There *is* no one else.

  Palazzi : Exactly. *I* am Derval.

  [the ambulance attendant points a pistol at Angelo's back] 

  Fiona : Put that away. Angelo is right. I'll inform Number One we made a new arrangement. This is merely a down payment.

  Palazzi : Alright, but against quarter of a million.

  Fiona : Agreed.

• Fiona : May I cut in?

  Girl in Kiss Kiss Club : You should have told me your wife was here!

  [walks off] 

  Bond : [to Fiona, as they dance]  Do you come here often?

  Fiona : It's no good you trying to escape, Mr. Bond.

  Bond : I don't want to escape. Strange as it may seem, I've grown accustomed to your face.

  Fiona : Why don't you come with us quietly?

  Bond : You don't seem to understand. You see, I *enjoy* my dancing.

  [Deftly moves Fiona so that she blocks a fatal gunshot aimed at him] 

• Bond : How far do you go?

  Fiona : You better fasten your safety belt.

• Fiona : [escorting Bond out at gunpoint]  Careful, Mr. Bond. Careful.

• Fiona : What a blow it must have been: You having a failure.

  James Bond : Well, you can't win them all.

• Ambulance Attendant : His watch, identification disc.

  Palazzi : Au revoir.

  Fiona : No, no. He always says "ciao."

  Palazzi : Ciao.

  Fiona : And the cap: it's too far back on your head.

  Palazzi : The rest of my money: just have it ready.

• Fiona : Your coat, sir. Happy landing.

  François Derval : Thank you.

  [kisses Fiona] 

  François Derval : Be good - at least until I get back. Ciao.
