Pussy Galore: “My name is Pussy Galore.”
Bond: “I must be dreaming.”
It’s probably an urban legend, but supposedly in an earlier draft of the script, Bond’s reply was “I know you are, but what is your name?”
Well that just makes me want to see a Pussy Galore/Han Solo mashup…
I’m working on it!
No Plenty O’Toole?
Named after her father no doubt.
Paddy O’Furniture?
In “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” one of the women working for Blofeld wrote her room number on Bond’s thigh under the dinner table. Bond excused himself by saying “I have a slight stiffening coming on.” I’ve read they dubbed in a G rated version, but the original is my all-time favorite Bond quip.
Star Trek is generally so tame and G-rated, but then in that one DS9 episode the holodeck Bond girl is called “Mona Wantsit”. That is my favorite Bond line.
I was always partial to the Roger Moore quips.
“Trying to keep the British end up, sir!”
Bad puns. Worse than Arnold’s.
Q had a couple along those lines in the Moore Bonds as well.
the world is not enough …enough already
was that an anouska hempel moment cause she made some serious shag scenes in other movies that she had moved by ray gun
What you interestingly fail to mention is that the Pussy Galore subplot was an example not only of sexism but also of homophobia, since Pussy is a lesbian who’s cured of her “psycho-pathological malady” by Bond’s “laying on of hands” (fucking).
