History Awesome / TomorrowNeverDies

-->'''Roebuck:''' What the hell is he doing?
-->'''M:''' His ''job.''

-->'''Bond:''' Ask the Admiral ''where'' he'd like his bombs delivered.

--> '''Kaufman:''' Wait, I'm just a professional doing a job!
--> '''Bond:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner Me too.]]

-->'''Chinese radio message''': "To Royal Navy Task Group: We also have the unknown ship on our screens. We will not fire unless it turns towards China. [[EnemyMine Until then, she's yours. Good hunting.]]"
-->'''British Admiral''': Now Captain, whatever the hell that thing is, ''sink it.''
-->'''British Captain''': Right sir. P-WO, is that echo too weak for missile lock?
-->'''PWO''': Uh, yes sir.
-->'''British Captain''': Right, we'll do it [[MoreDakka the old fashioned way.]]
-->'''British Admiral''': (''grins as the Captain begins giving [[RockBeatsLaser gunnery orders]]'')
* By the end of the film, Carver has done a fine job of getting under Bond's skin, especially by [[spoiler: having Paris killed]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LETIHwdpM5U So when Bond finally dispatches of Carver,]] it's one of his most angry and ruthless kills in the whole series: He activates the [[ThisIsADrill sea drill]] that [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Carver had been using to wreck the ships]] and holds him in its path.
--> '''Bond:''' I may have some ''breaking news'' for you, Elliot. (''viciously beats Carver as he's cowed by the drill activating behind him'') YOU FORGOT THE ''FIRST'' RULE OF MASS MEDIA, ELLIOT! (''forces Carver in front of the drill'') '''GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY ''WANT!''''' (''lets go just seconds before Carver is slowly ripped apart'')

* Bond's first appearance on screen is nothing short of awesome. He distracts a couple of terrorist mooks at the bazaar's edge by lighting their cigarettes, then knocks them unconcious with a quip of "[[BondOneLiner Filthy habit]]" before [[PrivacyByDistraction setting off an explosion that sends the bazaar's guards in the wrong direction]] while he makes a break for the jet.

* After everything has been said and done with Carver, Bond goes after the missile, [[DragonTheirFeet only for Stamper to show up.]] A hand-to-hand fight ''on top of the missile that's about to launch'' ensues, with Stamper [[NoSell ignoring several serious stab wounds from Bond]] and winding up with Stamper dangling Bond in front of the missile's exhaust cone by the back of his tactical vest with Bond's knife in his chest. The missile's about to launch, and Bond can't get loose, so he yanks the damn knife out of Stamper's chest and cuts himself free, dropping into the water just before the missile's engine ignites.
* Really, anytime Creator/MichelleYeoh shows off her martial-arts skills.

** "[[BondColdOpen His job]]" is freaking awesome in and of itself! He utterly demolishes an ArmsFair (to SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic, naturally) with every weapon imaginable, from pistols, to machine guns, to grenades, up to and including jet engine exhaust. Then, after stealing the nuke-packing jet, he takes out the enemy jet above him by [[EjectorSeat ejecting]] the "backseat driver" that was garrotting him. And topping it all off with some GettingCrapPastTheRadar:

** Moments before this, Bond pulls himself out of a pile of rubble after Kaufman dropped several rifle-launched grenades on him and walks up on a pair of Mooks who are manning the missile launch station. The Bond music swells as they go for their guns, and Bond [[FiringOneHanded sprays them down with a looted submachine gun one-handed]] without even breaking stride. [[TranquilFury The look on his face]] shows just how ''done'' he is with taking the stealthy route.
