Most Recent Last Line

As I've said, we know the importance of the first line of a novel . . . what of the last?

Here's a kicker. In Casino Royale, third and final Bond that was gifted to me by my bro (and sadly the last I'll read for a bit due to financial limitations I'm currently working under . . . more on that later) James Bond falls in love with the female main character, Vesper. It's a tragic love affair that ends with Vesper comitting suicide. Bond's final words on the episode, and the final lines of the book:

"This is 007 speaking. This is an open line. It's an emergency. Can you hear me? Pass this on at once. 3030 (Vesper) was a double, working for Redland."

"Yes, dammit, I said "was". The bitch is dead now."

You have to suppose that a novel that begins with "The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning" and ends with "Yes, dammit, I said "was". The bitch is dead now" has got to have some thrilling stuff inbetween.
