Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The coolest man in cinema, and all he can do is lie gently to a policeman. It is the cruellest line in the series because it is not a quip: it is grief refusing to be named. The series never forgot it, and No Time to Die brought Armstrong's song back to close the Craig era. Fans quote it as the sound of the franchise at its most human.

At the end of On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), Bond has married Tracy in Portugal and is driving away with her in his Aston Martin when he stops to remove the flowers from the car. Blofeld and Irma Bunt drive past and machine-gun it, killing Tracy. When a police officer arrives, Bond, cradling her, says she is only having a rest and there is no hurry: they have all the time in the world. They are his final words in the film. Louis Armstrong's song of the same name plays, and it was reused over the closing credits of No Time to Die (2021).
