Quotes
-
James Bond : Are these pictures live?
M : Unlike the American government, we prefer not to get our bad news from CNN.
-
M : You don't like me, Bond. You don't like my methods. You think I'm an accountant, a bean counter more interested in my numbers than your instincts.
James Bond : The thought had occurred to me.
M : Good, because I think you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War, whose boyish charms, though wasted on me, obviously appealed to that young woman I sent out to evaluate you.
James Bond : Point taken.
-
Bill Tanner : Seems your hunch was right, 007. It's too bad the Evil Queen of Numbers wouldn't let you play it...
[M walks in]
M : You were saying?
Bill Tanner : No, no, I was just... just um...
M : Good. Because if I want sarcasm, Mr Tanner, I'll talk to my children, thank you very much.
-
M : [to Bond] If you think for one moment I don't have the balls to send a man out to die, your instincts are dead wrong. I have no compunction about sending you to your death. But, I won't do it on a whim. Even with your cavalier attitude towards life.
-
M : Would you care for a drink?
James Bond : Thank you. Your predecessor kept some cognac on the top...
M : I prefer bourbon. Ice?
James Bond : Yes.
-
M : I want you to find GoldenEye. Find who took it, what they plan to do with it, and stop it.
-
M : So - GoldenEye exists.
James Bond : Yes.
-
M : What else do we know about the Janus syndicate?
James Bond : Top flight arms dealers headquartered in St. Petersburg. First outfit to restock the Iraqis during the Gulf War. The head man's unreliably described. No photographs. The woman - Onatopp - is our only confirmed contact.
-
M : Bond - come back alive.
-
James Bond : What do you think the Russians are using the base for?
Bill Tanner : Well, at one point we suspected Severnaya might be the ground station for a secret space-based weapons program called GoldenEye, but...
M : Our statistical analysis saw they had neither the finance nor technology to implement it.
James Bond : Numbers were never my strong suit.
