Ask James Bond film fans what their favorite movie is, and many will undoubtedly mention GoldenEye. Though it doesn't have quite the historical impact of a classic 007 film like From Russia With Love, it did make the character cool again, for an entirely new generation of young people, as well as traditional franchise fans.

It helped revitalize the series after Licence To Kill failed to make waves with critics or fans. Pierce Brosnan's debut as Bond undoubtedly played a big part in its success, as well as a smart and clever script loaded with belly-laugh quotes.

"Beg Your Pardon. Forgot To Knock!"

Bond drops in on an enemy

Pierce Brosnan brought a much-needed dose of humor to the Bond franchise, without falling victim to some of the more exaggerated comic book trappings of the Roger Moore era. This made him a cool, suave, yet down to Earth Bond who was as analytical and methodical as he was a subtle wisecracker.

The opening act of GoldenEye shows 007 infiltrating a Soviet chemical weapons facility using highly unorthodox, yet effective means. He ends up dropping into a stall in the men's restroom, surprising one of the soldiers who didn't expect to see an upside-down MI6 agent an inch beyond his favorite newspaper.

[Bond] "Moneypenny, I'm Devastated. Whatever Would I Do Without You?" [Moneypenny] "As Far As I Can Remember, James, You've Never Had Me."

Bond & Moneypenny

James Bond and Moneypenny have always shared a rather humorous relationship. The two flirted at every possible opportunity, but never explicitly took it beyond that point. Part of the reason might be that Moneypenny was every bit as witty and wily as 007, and then some.

This funny exchange between Bond and Moneypenny sums up their relationship rather perfectly. If it weren't for all the innuendo between the two, they'd be like brother and sister; teasing and jabbing each other in the ribs at every opportunity.

"...If I Want Sarcasm, Mr. Tanner, I'll Talk To My Children, Thank You Very Much."

MI6's new M

M was always a hard-nosed boss who was tough on his 00's, as much as he appreciated their dedication and work ethic. His female replacement was no different, and she wasn't about to tolerate any backtalk from her subordinates, nor apologize for being the calculating figure that she was.

When wiseguy Mr. Tanner made an offhand remark to Bond about her methods, he failed to check his six. M was standing right there, and she didn't appreciate his tone. Rather than give him a lashing, she uttered this quote which compared him to her children, which was a far better burn.

"Don't Touch That! That's My Lunch!"

Bond and Q

One of the most enjoyable parts of a 007 movie is watching Bond interact with Q, the Quartermaster. This brilliant inventor schemes up fancy new gadgets designed to aid MI6 agents in the field, and they come in a variety of forms, from exploding pens to jet packs and laser watches.

After demonstrating a bunch of new toys, Bond looks down curiously at what appears to be a submarine sandwich. As he turns it around to see what kind of tech gadget has been hidden within, Q chastises him and grabs it from his hand, uttering this hilarious quote.

[Wade] "Jack Wade, CIA." [Bond] "James Bond, Stiff-Ass Brit."

James Bond & Jack Wade

MI6 and the CIA didn't always work well together, though the two had teamed up to counter international threats before. When Bond arrived in Saint Petersburg to meet CIA contact Jack Wade using secret lingo, the man showed immediate frustration with "stiff-ass Brits" and their obsession for over-dramatic policy.

Bond doesn't take too kindly and insists - at gunpoint - that Wade fall into line. Once the formalities are over, the two introduce themselves with this funny exchange, proving that Bond might work by the books, but he holds no grudges.

"Who's Strangling The Cat?"

Bond insults Zukovsky's wife

In order to find the location of the mysterious criminal figure known as Janus, aka Alec Trevelyan, Bond was forced to meet up with Valentin Zukovsky, an ex-KGB agent turned gangster who would have loved seeing Bond at the bottom of a lake, rather than in his office.

Before Bond could get down to business, the two exchanged the customary pleasantries, with Zukovsky threatening to put a bullet in Bond's junk. It might have had something to do with Bond insulting Zukovsky's wife, an aspiring singer who would have landed a spot on the American Idol reject list.

[Bond] "Well, I Must Say I've Had A Lovely Evening! You?" [Xenia] "Once Again, The Pleasure Was All Yours."

Bond and Xenia Onatopp

Bond realized that Xenia Onatopp was a lot more than she seemed, and he went in with caution. Though the two flirted, it was more of an excuse to get closer to Janus, rather than take her to bed. He reiterated that point strongly when Xenia attempted to assassinate him at a hotel sauna.

After subduing her, Bond forced her to take him to meet with Janus. She wasn't particularly pleased about it, but Bond took the time to poke some fun at her expense with his quote. Her reply was indicative of her mood, much to Bond's delight.

"What, No Small Talk? No Chit-Chat? That's The Trouble With The World Today. No One Takes The Time To Do A Really Sinister Interrogation Anymore."

Bond under interrogation

Given Bond's rough and tumble history as an MI6 secret agent, he'd been through quite a few precarious situations involving interrogations and threats of death. He wasn't particularly fazed when he was brought before Dimitri Mishkin, the Russian Minister of Defense.

Mishkin got right to the point by asking how Bond would like to be executed. As a man known for hilarious one-liners, Bond laughed it off with a cavalier attitude, replying with this quote designed to show that he wasn't afraid of threats to his life. He'd already been there and done that plenty of times.

"So, You're Lookin' For A Dish The Size Of A Football Field, Huh? Doesn't Exist. You Can't Light A Cigar In Cuba Without Us Seein' It!"

Jack Wade from the CIA

Wade meets up with Bond in Cuba to hunt down rogue agent 006 in the final act of the film. His only clue is the mention of a gigantic satellite dish hidden somewhere in the jungle that communicates directly with the GoldenEye satellite. Wade is on hand to provide some CIA backing during Bond's infiltration, but he isn't quite convinced of the mission.

He sums up his involvement in the operation by uttering this funny quote, which was indicative of U.S./Cuban relations at the time. Though this stance would be softened in later years, the animosity between the two nations still runs strong to this day, due to the battle against Communism.

"Yes! I Am Invincible!"

Boris from GoldenEye

Few 007 quotes are as memorable or imitated as this one spoken by pompous hacker Boris Grishenko. When Rare produced the ultra-smash hit video game adaptation of GoldenEye for the Nintendo 64, it was shouted across late-night deathmatch tournaments the world over, and for good reason.

Only the eccentric Alan Cumming could possibly have uttered this quote so believably, and with such commitment. Not only did it make audiences roll their eyes, but it also gave them a reason to laugh out loud when Boris met his end during the final act of the film, T-1000 style.
