Quotes From Three Movies Strikes Back!

Another in an occasional series of memorable (or just what I think are cool) quotes from three different movies.

Casino Royale (2006)

Vesper Lynd: How was your lamb?
James Bond: Skewered. One sympathizes.

Vesper Lynd: 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

Steven Obanno: Do you believe in God, Mr. Le Chiffre?
Le Chiffre: No, I believe in a reasonable rate of return.

Bartender: Shaken or stirred?
James Bond: Does it look like I give a damn?

Dryden: Your file shows no kills, but to be a double O it takes
James Bond: Two
Dryden: How did he die?
James Bond: Your contact? Not well.
(cut to flashback of Bond beating seven shades of shit out of a guy in a bathroom)
Dryden: I wouldn't worry they say the second is
(Bond shoots him through the head)
James Bond: Yes. Considerably.

M: This may be too much for a blunt instrument to understand. Any thug can kill. I need you to take your ego out of the equation.
James Bond: So you want me to be half-monk, half-hitman.
M: I knew it was too early to promote you.
James Bond: Well, I understand double-ohs have a very short life expectancy. So your mistake will be short-lived.

Vesper Lynd: It doesn't bother you; killing all those people?
James Bond: Well I wouldn't be very good at my job if it did.

Vesper Lynd: I'm the money.
James Bond: Every penny of it.

M: Christ, I miss the Cold War.

James Bond: Vesper? I do hope you gave your parents hell for that.

Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

Balian of Ibelin: What is Jerusalem worth?
Saladin: Nothing.
[Saladin walks away, then turns and clenches his fists to his chest]
Saladin: Everything!

Godfrey of Ibelin: I once fought two days with an arrow through my testicle.

Balian of Ibelin: A queen never walks. Yet you are walking

Saracen Messenger: The Sultan asks for his sister's body, the heads of those responsible and the surrender of Jerusalem.
Guy de Lusignan: Does he?
Saracen Messenger: What is you reply?
Guy de Lusignan: This.
[Decapitates the messenger]

Nasir: Your qualities will be known among your enemies long before you meet them my friend.

Saladin: Will you yield the city?
Balian of Ibelin: Before I lose it, I will burn it to the ground. Your holy places - ours. Every last thing in Jerusalem that drives men mad.
Saladin: I wonder if it would not be better if you did.

Saladin: Who defends?
Nasir: Balian of Ibelin. The son of Godfrey.
Saladin: Godfrey? Godfrey nearly killed me in the Lebanon. Truly, I did not know he had a son.
Nasir: It was his son at Kerak.
Saladin: The one you let live?
Nasir: Yes.
Saladin: Perhaps you should not have.
Nasir: Perhaps I should have had a different teacher.

Tiberias: [to Balian] May God be with you, he's no longer with me.

Guy de Lusignan: Give me a war.
Reynald: That is what I do.

King Baldwin IV: I felt in that moment that I would live to be a hundred. Now I know I shall not see thirty.

Balian of Ibelin: Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Safeguard the helpless. Never lie, even if it leads to your death; that is your oath.
[slap]
Balian of Ibelin: And that is so you don't forget it. Rise a knight... rise a knight!

Sybilla: There will be a day when you will wish you had done a little evil to do a greater good.

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

Dracula: You will, I trust, excuse me if I... do not join you... but I have already dined, and I never drink... wine.

Dracula: I am the monster that breathing men would kill. I am Dracula.

Professor Abraham Van Helsing: She lives beyond the grace of God, a wanderer in the outer darkness. She is "vampyr", "nosferatu". These creatures do not die like the bee after the first sting, but instead grow strong and become immortal once infected by another nosferatu. So, my friends we fight not one beast but legions that go on age after age after age, feeding on the blood of the living.

Renfield: I'm no lunatic man. I'm a sane man fighting for his soul.

Dracula: [about the wolves that are howling] Listen to them: the children of the night. What sweet music they make.

Professor Abraham Van Helsing: Mr. Morris, your bullets will not harm him. He must be beheaded. I suggest that you use your big Bowie knife.
Quincey P. Morris: Well, I wasn't plan on getting that close, Doc.

Dracula: I condemn you to living death. To eternal hunger for living blood.

Dracula: I shall rise from my own death, to avenge hers with all the powers of darkness.

Mina Harker: Take me away from all this death!

Dracula: I, who served the Cross. I, who commanded nations, hundreds of years before you were born.
Professor Abraham Van Helsing: Your armies were defeated. You tortured and impaled thousands of people.
Dracula: I was betrayed. Look at what your God has done to me!
