John Cleese

Cleese was cast as Q's deputy 'R' in The World is Not Enough. Following the sad death of Desmond Llewelyn in a car accident, Cleese has taken the title 'Q' for Die Another Day.
Famous for his roles in Monty Python and Fawlty Towers, John should suit this role perfectly.

Q's best quote from Die Another Day:
James Bond: You know, you're cleverer than you look!
Q: Better than looking cleverer than you are.
“Right now, pay attention!”

gadget (gajit) n. 1. A small specialised mechanical or electronic device; a contrivance. 2. Any ingenious device, especially one that is labour-saving.

Little Nellie: this waspish autogyro saves Bond’s bacon in You Only Live Twice when he’s set upon by a fleet of SPECTRE bad guys’ helicopters. Literally a flying arsenal with a lot more than a sting her tail : 2 fixed forward-firing machineguns synchronised to 100 yards – using incendiaries and high explosives; 2 rocket launchers forward-firing on either side; heat-seeking air-to-air missiles – 60 a minute; Flame guns – 2 firing astern, range 80 yards; 2 smoke ejectors; Aerial mines; Cine camera in pilot’s helmet; Radio tuned to 410 megacycles.
After vanquishing the foe 007 sends this message: “Hello Base One – Little Nellie got a hot reception. Four big shots made improper advances towards her – but she defended her honour with great success.”

Hasselblad Camera Signature Gun: this deadly gadget really does have a viewfinder to a kill! The film magazine contains a magazine of .220 high-velocity bullets, while its tripod-like attachments screw into the body to form the butt and barrel of a deadly sniper’s rifle. The handle of the gun also contains an optical palm reader, ensuring only the person programming the computer sequence can fire the weapon at a later date.
In Licence To Kill, Bond uses the Signature Gun (one of Q’s most ingenious and lethal gadgets) in an attempt to avenge the murder of his best friend’s wife. On this rare occasion, 007 misses his target, South American drug baron Franz Sanchez, when he is overcome by a group of Ninjas.

Parker Pen Class 4 Grenade: on this occasion, thanks to Q, the pen is indeed mightier than the sword! 3 clicks of the pen arms its 4 second fuse, while a further 3 clicks disarms it. The writing’s on the wall for treacherous ex-British agent Alec Trevelyan (006), when Bond uses this harmless-looking everyday object to prevent Trevelyan from using the Goldeneye satellite to devastating effect.

Snooper: a robot ‘dog’ whose movements are controlled by remote control. Snooper transmits video images via its eyes. It also has a telescopic neck for peering over or around objects obstructing its view.
While searching for 007 with Snooper at the end of his mission in A View To A Kill, Q is shocked, but hardly surprised, to find Bond sharing a shower with heroine Stacey Sutton. Oh James!

James Bond[edit]

• [When asked by a US Submarine Captain how he knew top secret US information] From a Russian translation of one of your service manuals.

Ernst Stavro Blofeld[edit]

• I am the Supreme Commander of SPECTRE, Special Executive for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. Yesterday morning, the American Air Force launched two cruise missiles from Swadley Air Base in Great Britain. Through the ingenuity of SPECTRE, the dummy warheads they carried were replaced with live, nuclear warheads. Your weapons of destruction are now safely in our possession and will be moved to two secret targets. Please note the serial numbers of the missiles; they will confirm the truth. Your weapons of deterrence did not deter us from our objective! A terrible catastrophe now confronts you. However, it can be avoided by paying a tribute to our organization, amounting to twenty-five percent of your respective countries' annual oil purchases. We have accomplished two of the functions that the name SPECTRE embodies: terrorism and extortion. If our demands are not met within seven days, we shall ruthlessly apply the third: revenge!

Dialogue[edit]

Q: Good to see you Mr Bond, things have been awfully dull around here...Now you're on this, I hope we're going to have some gratuitous sex and violence!

James Bond: I certainly hope so too.

M: Too many free radicals. That's your problem.

James Bond: 'Free radicals,' sir?

M: Yes. They're toxins that destroy the body and the brain, caused by eating too much red meat and white bread and too many dry martinis!

James Bond: Then I shall cut out the white bread, sir.

M: Oh, you'll do more than that, 007. From now on you will suffer a strict regimen of diet and exercise; we shall purge those toxins from you!

[Fatima Blush lands in James Bond's arms when she water-skis up the ramp to the bar]

Fatima Blush: Oh, how reckless of me. I made you all wet.

James Bond: Yes, but my martini is still dry. My name is James.

Maximilian Largo: Are you a man who enjoys games?

James Bond: Depends with whom I'm playing.

Maximilian Largo: Do you lose as gracefully as you win?

James Bond: I don't know, I've never lost.

James Bond: Is it far to the reef?

Fatima Blush: It's far enough. We've got time to kill.

Before killing Bond, Fatima Blush uses her gun to force James Bond to write that the greatest love experience was with her:

James Bond: I just remembered ..I'm Not allowed to give out endorsements...

[Bond uses the comment to distract Fatima Long enough to shot at her with a pen-gun. She shoots at him and misses. The pen-gun projectile seems to fail..only red ink appears on her blouse.]

Fatima Blush: [Laughs] Guess where the next shot is...

[Before Fatima can shoot him, the projectile detonates, killing her.]

James Bond: 'Not...Perfected...Yet...????
