Daniel Craig credited as playing...
James Bond
- James Bond: [sarcastically to Le Chiffre and, after nearly dying from poisoning] I'm sorry. That last hand... nearly killed me.
- James Bond: [Reading about their alias covers] We've been involved for quite a long while. Hence, the shared suite.
- Vesper Lynd: But, my family is strict Roman Catholic. So, for appearances sake, it'll be a two-bedroom suite.
- James Bond: I do *hate* it when religion comes between us.
- Vesper Lynd: Religion - and a securely locked door. Am I going to have a problem with you, Bond?
- James Bond: No, don't worry, you're not my type.
- Vesper Lynd: Smart?
- James Bond: Single.
- James Bond: [after Bond has just lost his 10 million in the game, to the bartender in the casino] Vodka-martini.
- Bartender: Shaken or stirred?
- James Bond: [agitated] Do I look like I give a damn?
- Vesper Lynd: [sitting on opposite sides of the dinner table, discussing poker skills on the train heading towards Montenegro] What else can you surmise, Mr. Bond?
- James Bond: About you, Miss Lynd? Well, your beauty's a problem. You worry you won't be taken seriously.
- Vesper Lynd: Which one can say of any attractive woman with half a brain.
- James Bond: True. But this one overcompensates by wearing slightly masculine clothing. Being more aggressive than her female colleagues. Which gives her a somewhat *prickly* demeanor, and ironically enough, makes it less likely for her to be accepted and promoted by her male superiors, who mistake her insecurities for arrogance. Now, I'd have normally gone with "only child," but, you see, by the way you ignored the quip about your parents... I'm gonna have to go with "orphan."
- Vesper Lynd: All right... by the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford or wherever. Naturally you think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain, my guess is you didn't come from money, and your school friends never let you forget it. Which means you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity - hence that chip on your shoulder. And since your first thought about me ran to "orphan," that's what I'd say you are.
- [he smiles but says nothing]
- Vesper Lynd: Oh, you are? I like this poker thing. And that makes perfect sense! Since MI6 looks for maladjusted young men, who give little thought to sacrificing others in order to protect Queen and country. You know... former SAS types with easy smiles and expensive watches.
- [Glances at his wrist]
- Vesper Lynd: Rolex?
- James Bond: Omega.
- Vesper Lynd: Beautiful. Now, having just met you, I wouldn't go as far as calling you a cold-hearted bastard...
- James Bond: No, of course not.
- Vesper Lynd: But it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine. You think of women as disposable pleasures, rather than meaningful pursuits. So as charming as you are, Mr. Bond, I will be keeping my eye on our government's money - and off your perfectly-formed arse.
- James Bond: You noticed?
- Vesper Lynd: Even accountants have imagination. How was your lamb?
- James Bond: Skewered! One sympathizes.
- Vesper Lynd: Good evening, Mr. Bond.
- James Bond: Good evening, Ms. Lynd.
- James Bond: [to the bartender in the casino] Dry Martini.
- Bartender: Oui, monsieur.
- James Bond: Wait... three measures of Gordon's; one of vodka; half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it over ice, and add a thin slice of lemon peel.
- Bartender: Yes, sir.
- Tomelli: You know, I'll have one of those.
- Infante: So will I.
- Bartender: Certainly.
- Felix Leiter: My friend, bring me one as well, keep the fruit.
- Le Chiffre: [annoyed] That's it, hmm? Anyone want to play poker now?
- Felix Leiter: Someone's in a hurry.
- James Bond: [after tasting the Dry Martini] I think I'll call it a Vesper.
- Vesper Lynd: Because of the bitter aftertaste?
- James Bond: No, because once you've tasted it, that's all you want to drink.
- James Bond: [tied to a wooden chair as he is being tortured] I've got a little itch, down there. Would you mind?
- Le Chiffre: [having coming back to the poker table] You changed your shirt, Mr Bond. I hope our little game isn't causing you to perspire.
- James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.
- Vesper Lynd: [introducing herself to Bond on the train traveling towards Montenegro] I'm the money.
- James Bond: Every penny of it.
- Vesper Lynd: You're not going to let me in there, are you? You've got your armour back on. That's that.
- James Bond: I have no armour left. You've stripped it from me. Whatever is left of me - whatever is left of me - whatever I am - I'm yours.
- James Bond: I always thought M was a randomly assigned initial, I had no idea it stood for...
- M: Utter one more syllable and I'll have you killed.
- Vesper Lynd: You love me?
- James Bond: Enough to travel the world with you until one of us has to take an honest job... which I think is going to have to be you, because I have no idea what an honest job is.
- Felix Leiter: [standing on the stairway in the casino] I should have introduced myself, seeing as we're related. Felix Leiter, a brother from Langley.
- [sees that Bond has a knife]
- Felix Leiter: You should have faith. As long as you keep your head about you, I think you have him.
- James Bond: Had. Excuse me.
- Felix Leiter: You're not buying in?
- James Bond: No.
- Felix Leiter: Listen, I'm bleeding chips. I'm not going to last much longer. You have a better chance. I'll stake you. I'm saying I'll give you the money to keep going. Just one thing: you pull it off, the CIA bring him in.
- James Bond: What about the winnings?
- Felix Leiter: Does it look like we need the money?
- James Bond: [laughing - after being stuck five times with a knotted rope inside a steel chamber] Now the whole world's gonna know that you died scratching my balls!
- Le Chiffre: [holding the rope over one shoulder] Oh... I died? I died?
- James Bond: [laughing] Yeah! 'Cause no matter what you do, I'm not gonna give you the password which means your clients are gonna hunt you down and cut you into little pieces of meat while you're still breathing. Because if you kill me, there'll be nowhere else to hide.
- Le Chiffre: [rounds on Bond] But you are SO WRONG! 'Cause even after I slaughtered you and your little girlfriend, your people would still welcome me with open arms... because they need... what I know.
- James Bond: [quietly] The big picture.
- [in another room, Vesper screams. Bond and Le Chiffre notice this]
- Le Chiffre: Give me the password, and I will at least let her live.
- [slaps Bond on the cheek again]
- Le Chiffre: Bond, do it soon enough and she might even be in one piece.
- [Bond considers this, then looks at Le Chiffre and laughs. Le Chiffre laughs as well, and realizes that Bond will not give in to the torture]
- Le Chiffre: You *really* aren't going to tell me, are you?
- James Bond: [laughing] No.
- Vesper Lynd: You can switch off so easily, can't you? It doesn't bother you? Killing those people?
- James Bond: Well, I wouldn't be very good at my job if it did.
- Vesper Lynd: I can't resist waking you. Every time I do, you look at me as if you hadn't seen me in years. Makes me feel reborn.
- James Bond: If you had just been born, wouldn't you be naked?
- Vesper Lynd: You have me there.
- [whispers into his ear:]
- Vesper Lynd: You can have me anywhere.
