How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Goldfinger.
Quote #1
BOND: Might have known M wouldn't book me into the best hotel in Miami Beach out of pure gratitude.
Although this incident is played off as a joke, Bond himself is manipulated by his own employer. His vacation time is a ruse to put him in Goldfinger's path, and to get him back to work ASAP.
Quote #2
GOLDFINGER: Could I have my usual seat?
[…]
FELIX: Goldfinger's a fabulous card player.
Is Felix being sarcastic here? Goldfinger is clearly cheating by making sure his opponent sits in the same place every day—a spot where he can easily be spied on by Jill, who relays the contents of his hand to Goldfinger.
Quote #3
BOND: Now hear this, Goldfinger. Your luck has just changed. […] Now start losing, Goldfinger.
Turnabout is fair play, and Bond manipulates Goldfinger into losing for a change. He punishes Goldfinger by hitting him not just in his wallet, but also in his ego.
Quote #4
GOLDFINGER: This meeting is not a coincidence, eh? What's your game, Mr. Bond?
Bond later insinuates himself into Goldfinger's inner circle by playing a round of golf with him. Amazingly, Bond doesn't even assume a disguise or secret identity. He plays golf as Bond, James Bond. Is that smart, or is it just careless?
Quote #5
GOLDFINGER: You are worth more to me alive.
It doesn't take much to trick Goldfinger. Bond is able to convince Goldfinger that he knows about his plan, Operation Grand Slam, simply by revealing its name. It's like telling Apple you know all about the iPhone17 simply by saying the word "iPhone17."
Quote #6
BOND: I apologize, Goldfinger. It's an inspired deal. They get what they want -- economic chaos in the West. And the value of your gold increases many times.
GOLDFINGER: I conservatively estimate...ten times.
BOND: Brilliant.
One of the big reveals of the film is that Goldfinger doesn't plan to rob Fort Knox; he plans to blow it up, thereby destroying the U.S. Gold Reserves. We admit, it is a brilliant plan. And it's also a brilliant idea on the part of the screenwriters, who change the plot from Fleming's novel, where Goldfinger's plan actually is just to rob Fort Knox. How on earth would he carry all that gold? (Source)
