'M'
- Sir Donald Munger: Tell me, Commander, how far does your expertise extend into the field of diamonds?
- James Bond: Well, hardest substance found in nature, they cut glass, suggests marriage, I suppose it replaced the dog as the girl's best friend. That's about it.
- M: Refreshing to hear that there is one subject you're not an expert on!
- M: Star of South Africa. 83.5 carats rough. 47.5 carats cut. The Akbar Shah. 116 carats rough. Are you paying attention 007?
- James Bond: The Akbar Shah. 116 carats rough.
- James Bond: Pity about your liver, sir. Unusually fine Solera. '51, I believe.
- M: There is no year for sherry, 007.
- James Bond: I was referring to the original vintage on which the sherry is based, sir. 1851, unmistakable.
- Sir Donald Munger: Precisely.
- James Bond: Surely, sir, there's no need to involve our section on a relatively simple smuggling matter.
- M: Sir Donald has convinced the PM otherwise. May I remind you 007, that Blofeld is dead. Finished! The least we can expect from you now is a little *plain*, *solid*, *work*.
