Defining dialogue:

Bond: Do you expect me to talk? Goldfinger: No Mr. Bond. I expect you to die!

This is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life I've admired its color, its brilliance, its divine heaviness. I welcome any enterprise that will increase my stock...which is considerable!

Choose your next witticism carefully. It may be your last.

You will be there to see it for yourself. A little too close for comfort, I'm afraid.

Many people have tried to involve themselves in my affairs. Unsuccessfully.
