Quotes 

• Q : Good to see you Mr. Bond. Things've been awfully dull 'round here. Bureaucrats running the whole place. Everything done by the book. Can't make a decision unless the computer gives you the go ahead. Now you're on this. I hope we're going to have some gratuitous sex and violence!

  James Bond : I certainly hope so too.

• James Bond : I won't need one of these where I'm going.

  Q : Where's that or - are you not allowed to say?

  James Bond : The Bahamas.

  Q : Oh, lucky, bloody you!

• James Bond : [In the lab, curious about yet another one of Q's interesting little spy gadgets]  What is this for?

  Q : I'll show you. You unscrew it... then stick it up your nose.

  Q : [as he sticks the inhaler up his nose and sniffs]  For my sinus.

• Q : Rather tasty this is. It looks like a watch, but, it's really a laser. It keeps perfect time.

  James Bond : But, for how long?

  Q : At least your lifetime.

• James Bond : We're both humble servants of the Crown, Alge.

  Q : If the CIA made me an offer, I'd be off like a shot! Unlimited resources. Air conditioning. Twenty-eight flavors of ice cream in the restaurant.

• Q : Wait a minute, I've got something in here that could be useful. The prototype came from a KGB defector. A bit of a whiz kid in their technical section. Not a bad chap. Though I thought a bit is prone to melancholy. I suppose it's all that vodka and English weather.

• Q : [Talking to Bond, in his lab]  I wish I had a new contract. They slashed my budget. You can't get the spare parts. And when you can, there's usually some strike that stops delivery. Look at this place. They keep it bloody freezing down here. Plays havoc with my sinuses.
