Bond: "Vodka martini."

Mania Forums: Casino Royale: Member's Review 

"Bond: ‘A vodka martini, please.’ Casino barman: ‘Shaken or stirred?’
Bond: ‘Do I look like I give a damn?’ It’s a sharp and knowing line –
probably penned by Paul Haggis, the talented, final scriptwriter of
this highly enjoyable ‘back-to-basics re-boot’ of the 007 franchise –
that not only simultaneously acknowledges and confounds audience
expectations, but also neatly confirms that Daniel Craig’s intriguing
and charismatic tyro agent is cut from quite different cloth to his
Savile Row-tailored predecessors."

"And several reviewers took note of an iconoclastic joke. Asked if he
wants his vodka martini shaken or stirred, Craig as Bond replies, 'Do
I look like I give a damn'?"

"There's a new James Bond in town, and boy, is he ever cranky. Near
the climax of the Bond adventure Casino Royale, he's in a casino
asking a bartender for a vodka martini. 'Shaken or stirred?' the
bartender asks. 'Do I look like I give a damn?' replies Bond."

My search strategy in locating this was simplified by the fact that,
although I have not yet seen "Casino Royale," I had heard about this
bit of dialogue, and since I remembered the line "Do I look like I
give a damn?", I used this Google search string:
