Source: Dr. No

Speaker: James Bond

"Bond. James Bond."

Bond. James Bond.

Context

This line is spoken by James Bond, played by Sean Connery, in the film Dr. No, directed by Terence Young (1962).

Who is that man who can scale a crane with his bare hands, who can escape a laser beam powerful enough to slice a man (and his man-parts) in two, and who can shoot a plane from a fake horse’s butt?

His name is Bond, James Bond, of course, as he introduces himself in Dr. No, the very first James Bond movie, in which the debonair spy is played by Sean Connery.

Where you've heard it

You hear this, or a variation of it, any time someone wants to introduce themselves in a super melodramatic fashion.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

If your name is James Bond, you’re fully entitled to use this quote as is. But if your name is like, Keith Brown, and you’re calling yourself Brown, Keith Brown, you’re leaving a bunch of people shaken and stirred… and not in a good way.
