The World Is Not Enough/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • "I never miss."
  • Bond righting his tie under water.
  • Just when you think he's been rumbled...

Christmas Jones: (in Russian) You speak English very well for a Russian.
Bond: (in Russian) I studied at Oxford.

  • And picking just one moment for Fallen Princess Elektra? Cannot be done. For added fun, multiply Elektra's awesome quotient by ten simply for being more awesome than Christmas Jones. If we had to pick... she slapped James Bond after he (correctly, it turns out) diagnosed her as having Stockholm Syndrome.
  • M's use of a clock and a GPS locator card.
  • I personally like the scene where this goes down:

Elektra: ... I could have given you the world!
Bond: The world is not enough.
Elektra: (sneering) Foolish sentiment.
Bond: (nonchalant) Family motto.

  • I have to give credit to Dr. Christmas Jones for being able to disarm a nuclear bomb while travelling at high speed in a pipeline inspection rig. Even though the bomb was never nuclear, she didn't know that when she volunteered.
  • Valentin. Freeing Bond from a torture device. With one bullet. While mortally wounded.
    • Even better: "I'm looking for a submarine. It's big and black and the driver is a good friend of mine."
  • "I've always tried to teach you two things: never let them see you bleed; and always have an escape plan" Desmond Llewelyn as Q's last line before Desmond died in a tragic car accident. R.I.P.
  • M slapping Elektra across the face upon the reveal of her true colors. Always loved that moment.
