007: Q means Quartermaster?


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. 
James Bond: Oh, so why do you need me? 
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. 
Q: 007.
