— I've got something for you. <...> You arm it by pressing that button there. Like that. See? Right. Now wear that. Right. Now... Whistle
the first bars of "Rule, Britannia." Stun gas. Effective range? Ooh, about five feet. Disorientates any normal person for about... Ooh, 30 seconds. <...>
— What is it to blow up the room — "God Save the Queen"?

— We're issuing this to all double 0 personnel.
— An ordinary black leather case with 20 rounds of ammunition here and here. Now, if you take the top off, you'll find the ammunition inside. On the side here, flat throwing knife. Press that button there, and out she comes. Inside the case you will find an AR-7 folding sniper's rifle, .25 caliber, with an infrared telescopic sight. Then if you pull out these straps, inside are 50 gold sovereigns, 25 in either side. Now, watch very carefully. An ordinary tin of talcum powder. Inside, a tear gas cartridge. That goes in the case
against the side here like that. It's magnetized so it won't fall. Shut the case. Now, normally, to open a case like that, you move the catches to the side. If you do, the cartridge
will explode in your face. Now, to stop the cartridge exploding, turn the catches horizontally like that, then open normally. Now you try it.

Morning, Q.
Good morning, 007. This way, please. My, we are busy this morning. It's not perfected yet.
— Where's my Bentley?
— Oh, it's had its day, I'm afraid.
— But it's never let me down.
— M's orders, 007. You'll be using this Aston Martin D85, with modifications. Now, pay attention, please. Windscreen, bulletproof. As are the side and the rear windows. Revolving number plates, naturally. Valid all countries. Here's a nice little transmitting device called a homer. You prime it by pressing that back like this. You see? The smaller model is now standard field issue, to be fitted into the heel of your shoe. Its larger brother is magnetic. Right. To be concealed in the car you're trailing while you keep out of sight. Reception on the dashboard here. Auto-visual. Range, 150 miles.
— Ingenious. And useful, too. Allow a man to stop off for a quick one en route.
— It has not been perfected after years of patient research entirely for that purpose, 007. And incidentally, we'd appreciate its return, along with all
your other equipment, intact, for once, when you return from the field.
