Moore could make the worst and most bastardized of the lines illuminatingly amusing. Normally, some of his lines, when uttered by someone else would've made one come off as a sleazy prick, but Moore makes it funny which makes him comically likable in return. It's all about having the natural quality, and Moore is the king of the charming lead template.acid wrote:Argh, yeah, you're right! For some reason I remembered Rog saying that line in one of his Moneypenny scenes. Probably because I've seen his movies a lot more. I think he'd have delivered those lines very well. Anyway, it's a good excuse to watch GoldenEye a few more times!

I'm trying to picture Moore in some of the other GoldenEye dialog. I wonder if Dench called his Bond a "sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War..." if he might've ad libbed some witty comeback.

Does that count as two words? By the way it's getting really really hard now not to repeat ones we've already done.
