Duty and Loyalty in Complicated Situations
M
You were supposed to be in Istanbul last night! I'm afraid this unfortunate Leiter business has, somehow... clouded your judgment. You have a job to do. I expect you on a plane this afternoon.
[disappointed]
James Bond
I haven't finished here, sir.
M
Leave it to the Americans. It's their mess. Let them clean it up.
Bond
Sir, they're not going to do anything! I owe it to Leiter. He's put his life on the line for me many times before.
M
Oh, spare me this sentimental rubbish! He knew the risks.
[cutting him off]
Bond
And his wife?
M
This private vendetta of yours could easily compromise Her Majesty's Government. You have an assignment, and I expect you to carry it out objectively and professionally.
Bond
Then you have my resignation, sir.
[refuses to let the matter go and chooses to resign instead]
M
We're not a country club, 007! Effective immediately, your licence to kill is revoked. And I require you to hand over your weapon. Now. I need hardly remind you that you're still bound by the Official Secrets Act.
[shocked]
Bond
Then I guess it's... farewell to arms.
M
Don't! Too many people! God help you, commander.

Then France surrenders. I don't have to fight to win. Take all you want — this county, that one — you won't keep it long.

The Importance of Q's Gadgets to Bond
James Bond
This is no place for you, Q. Go home.

Oh, don't be an idiot, 007. I know exactly what you're up to, and quite frankly, you're going to need my help. Remember, if it hadn't been for Q Branch, you'd have been dead long ago. Everything for a man on holiday. Explosive alarm clock - guaranteed never to wake up anyone who uses it. Dentonite toothpaste - to be used sparingly, the latest in plastic explosive.

Leonid Pushkin
You are professional. You do not kill without reason.
James Bond

Pushkin
Then I must die.
