'If I'm late it's because I'm dead'

Ahh...only Sean Connery can say ridiculous lines like this and come away clean, suave, and just plain cool!

That's why he's the best Bond--he can make the corniest dialogue sound like a martini being shaken, not stirred, while others, even Pierce Brosnan, get chuckles with lines like "I thought Christmas only came once a year."

Long live Sir Sean! The only actor who can look menacing in a tux.

"I'll take Anal Bum Cover for 400 Alex"
"That's An Album Cover, Mr. Connery"

This line is actually a take on something Donald Sutherland said in "Kelly's Heroes" (1970). "If we're late, it's because we're dead."
