Q : It always makes me feel a bit melancholy. Grand old war ship. being ignominiously haunted away to scrap... The inevitability of time, don't you think? What do you see?
James Bond : A bloody big ship. Excuse me.
Q : 007. I'm your new Quartermaster.
James Bond : You must be joking.
Q : Why, because I'm not wearing a lab coat?
James Bond : Because you still have spots.
Q : My complexion is hardly relevant.
James Bond : Your competence is.
Q : Age is no guarantee of efficiency.
James Bond : And youth is no guarantee of innovation.
Q : Well, I'll hazard I can do more damage on my laptop sitting in my pajamas before my first cup of Earl Grey than you can do in a year in the field.

Q : Every now and then a trigger has to be pulled.
James Bond : Or not pulled. It's hard to know which in your pajamas. Q.

[At Q's lab, Q and Tanner try to create a false trail for Silva to follow]
Q : It's a fine line. If the breadcrumb's too small, then he might miss it. Too big, and Silva will smell a rat.
Tanner : Yes, but you'd think even Silva will be able to spot that.
Q : He's the only one who could.
[Tanner turns and sees Mallory standing behind them]
Tanner : Sir.
Q : Oh.
Gareth Mallory : What are you doing?
Q : We're just... monitoring.
Gareth Mallory : Creating a false tracking signal for Silva to follow.
Tanner : Well, sir, um...
Q : Well, no...
Gareth Mallory : Excellent thinking, get him isolated. Send him on the A9. It's a direct route. You can monitor his progress more accurately and confirm it with the traffic cameras.
Q : But, uh... what if PM finds out?
Gareth Mallory : Then we're all buggered. Carry on.

Q : I'm guessing this is not official.

Q : So much for my promising career in espionage.

Q : There are only about six people in the world who could set up fail-safes like this.
James Bond : Can you get past them?
Q : I invented them.

James Bond : A gun and a radio. It's not exactly Christmas, is it?
Q : Were you expecting an exploding pen? We don't really go in for that anymore.
-
Q : Oh, no. Can someone tell me how he got into our system?
Raoul Silva : [program from his computer] Not such a clever boy.
Q : Oh, shit. Oh, shit, shit, shit. He hacked us.
-
Q : Good luck out there in the field... And please return the equipment in one piece.
James Bond : A brave new world.

[from trailer]
Q : The Walther PPK/S nine-millimeter short. It's been coded to your palmprint so only you can fire it. Less of a random killing machine, more of a personal statement.

Q : [Via Bond's earpiece] Where are you?
James Bond : [He's on the train] Take a wild guess, Q.

Q : Why are the doors opening?
