Best Bond line in the entire series


Whatever people think of this film i know it has flaws but i think this is the best version of the Connery Bond.

There are several great one liners that he has in this but for me the best part of the film and indeed the entire franchise for me is after he sleeps with Spectre woman and she pulls a gun on him, he dents her ego by telling her he only slept with her for Queen and Country and took no pleasure.

She then vollies back with a scolding sarcastic tirade designed to bruise his Ego in a self aware moment from the writers acknowledging the absurdity of this man able to just swoop in with his charm and cast spells over any resisting female, ruining our fantasy and image of our hero, then just when you think he's been defeated and the empowered feminist has won the day he composes himself like a true champion and nonchalantly says

'Oh well, you can't win them all' - Cue Bond's theme striking up

That scene epitomizes the character for me and is why Connery will always be the GOAT
