• James Bond : Weren't you a blonde when I came in?

  Tiffany Case : Could be.

  James Bond : I tend to notice little things like that - whether a girl is a blonde or a brunette.

  Tiffany Case : Which do you prefer?

  James Bond : Well, as long as the collar and cuffs match.

  Tiffany Case : We'll talk about that later.

• [Tiffany Case opens the door almost nude] 

  James Bond : That's quite a nice little nothing you're almost wearing. I approve.

  Tiffany Case : I don't dress for the hired help. Let's see your passport, Franks.

  [Bond gives her his passport. She looks it over] 

  Tiffany Case : Occupation: Transport Consultant? It's a little cute isn't it? I'll finish dressing.

  James Bond : Oh, please don't, not on my account.

• Tiffany Case : Go blow up your pants!

• [a knock on the door; Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd, posing as host and a steward, brings into the couple's suite a romantic dinner] 

  James Bond : [puzzled]  There must be some mistake. I didn't order any...

  Mr. Wint : No mistake, sir. On specific instructions and with the complements of Mr. Willard Whyte: Oysters Andaluz, Shashlik, Tidbits, Prime rib au jus, Salade Utopia...

  [Mr. Kidd sets the timer for the bomb in the fake La Bombe Surprise] 

  Mr. Wint : ...and for dessert, the pièce de résistance...

  [Mr. Kidd shows the fake dessert] 

  Mr. Wint : La Bombe Surprise.

  Tiffany Case : Mmm! That's looks fantastic. What's in it?

  Mr. Wint : Ah, but then there would be no surprise, Madame.

• Tiffany Case : [while Q is playing the slot machines, winning big every time]  Hi there, Mr. Q. Are you having any luck?

  Q : I'm being somewhat successful, thank you.

• [as Bond, still incognito as Peter Franks, removes his underwear to seduce Tiffany] 

  Tiffany Case : Why, Peter, there's much more to you than I imagined!

• James Bond : Tiffany Case? Definitely distinctive.

  Tiffany Case : I was born there, on the first floor, while my mother was looking for a wedding ring.

  James Bond : Well, I'm glad for your sake it wasn't Van Cleef & Arpels.

• Tiffany Case : [reading Bond's ID card planted on the deceased Franks]  My God! You just killed James Bond!

  James Bond : Is that who it was? Well just goes to show, no one's indestructible.

• [Plenty O'Toole is found face down in a swimming pool] 

  Tiffany Case : She's...

  James Bond : Dead. Supposed to be you. The next link in the "pipeline".

  Tiffany Case : What are you talking about?

  James Bond : Poor Plenty must have stumbled in here looking for you.

  Tiffany Case : I don't believe you!

  James Bond : A dentist is dead in South Africa. That little old lady in Amsterdam. Shady got his last night. They've missed me once. And you're next. Now, who's your connection?

  Tiffany Case : You sound like a cop to me...

  [Slaps her] 

  James Bond : Who's your connection?

  Tiffany Case : All I know, his voice is on a phone. They got me this place and told me to wait for further instructions.

  James Bond : You'll find that rather difficult to hear underwater.

• [last lines] 

  Tiffany Case : Oh, James.

  James Bond : Oh, yes. What were you about to ask me?

  Tiffany Case : James, how the hell do we get those diamonds down again?

• Blofeld : [to Bond]  As La Rochefoucauld observed, "humility is the worst form of conceit." I do hold the winning hand. Why don't you let me take you on a little tour of our facilities. Your chance to see the real tape once again.

  Tiffany Case : Can I tag along Ernst?

  Blofeld : I'd put something on over that bikini, first, my dear. I've come to far to have the aim of my crew affected by the sight of a pretty body.

• Tiffany Case : Listen, you can drop me off at the next corner. This whole thing is getting a little out of hand. No regrets, but when you start stealing moon machines from Willard Whyte, GOOD bye and GOOD Luck!

  James Bond : Just relax, I have a friend named Felix who can fix anything.

  Tiffany Case : Is he married?

  [after being pulled over by the sherriff] 

  Tiffany Case : [sarcastically]  Relax, you've got a friend named Felix who can fix anything.

  James Bond : Unfortunately, so can Willard Whyte.

• Tiffany Case : Darling, why are we suddenly staying in the Bridal Suite at the Whyte House?

  James Bond : In order to form a more perfect union, sweetheart.

• Tiffany Case : Keep leaning on that tooter, Charlie, and you're gonna get a shot in the mouth.

• Tiffany Case : Is he dead?

  James Bond : I sincerely hope so.

• Felix Leiter : Miss Tiffany Case *Jones* has a lifetime reservation at another hotel - the kind the government - runs.

  Tiffany Case : I cooperating, Mr. Leiter, really I am.

  James Bond : Oh, I can vouch for that!

• Tiffany Case : [Felix Leiter of the CIA has just put them under lock and key in a luxurious hotel suite]  Well, that's a switch.

  James Bond : What's that?

  Tiffany Case : The wolf being guarded by the three little pigs.

• Tiffany Case : [Bond, posing as Peter Franks, calling on an intercom]  Yes?

  James Bond : Franks, Peter Franks.

  Tiffany Case : Come up, third floor.

• Tiffany Case : Sorry about your fulsome friend. I bet you really missed something.

  James Bond : Well, the evening may not be a total loss, after all.

  Tiffany Case : Why don't we talk a bit first.

  James Bond : Well, what would like to talk about?

  Tiffany Case : You pick a subject.

  James Bond : Diamonds.

• James Bond : Nice place you have here. Take something off. Enjoy the sun.

  Tiffany Case : You've got a lot of guts showing up here! After letting me freeze my behind off at a blackjack table for two hours waiting for some nonexistent diamonds! And what the hell is my black wig doing in the pool?

  [underwater shot of a dead Plenty O'Toole] 

  Tiffany Case : [sober]  She's...

  James Bond : Dead. Supposed to be you. The next link in the pipeline.
