“Were you expecting an exploding pen?'

GOLDENEYE
Q (Desmond Llewelyn): "A pen. This is a class four grenade. Three clicks, arms the four second fuse, another three disarms it."
James Bond (Pierce Brosnan): "How long did you say the fuse was?"
Q: "Oh, grow up 007."
Bond: "They always said the pen was mightier than the sword."
Q: "Thanks to me, they were right!"

SKYFALL
James Bond (Daniel Craig): A gun and a radio. It's not exactly Christmas, is it?
Q (Ben Whishaw): Were you expecting an exploding pen? We don't really go in for that anymore.

"Grow up" *walks away and fucking explodes*

[MawileMage]

...And then in Spectre and No Time to Die, he gives Bond an exploding watch. 😂

"we dont really go in for that anymore"

"it'd be a lot cooler if ya did..."

[McIrish_Lad]

The old school Q gadgets were the best part of Bond movies

[emeryoldham]

“The pen is mightier than the sword…but the wise carry both”

[deepbanerjee]

Pierce Brosnan words to describe him...simply charismatic

[chrishalliday]

“We don’t really go in for that thing anymore”

- Next movie: Bond is infected by blood relative-seeking killer nanobots.

Desmond Llewellyn was irreplaceable. 5 generations of Bond. R.I.P

[giteausuperstar]

The best part of the original scene is when Bond picks up a baguette and asks “what’s this?” To which Q replies “don’t touch that! That’s my lunch” 😂

[robertlangtry]

And then there's Atkinson's spy movie, where he asks for a gun and they say they don't really do that anymore...😂

[sridharbah]

Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan were the best bonds ever, Q was a legend, amazing humour.

When I was a kid falling in love with the spy James Bond, part of his awesomeness for me was to see what cool gadgets Q would give him for the movie.

[MrShane]

The best part of the old series were the gadgets and wondering how he'd use them

[keenmachine]

The old Q scenes was some of my favorite scenes, was so zany and fun.

[Lomochrome]

It's not really a 007 movie without the gadgets.

[ColtonRMagby]

"Don't say it!"
"The writing's on the wall?"
"Along with the rest of him."

[mackenzieowens]

"Thanks to me, they were right, " Most badass movie line ever.

[CidHighwindRocks]

"Were you expecting an exploding pen?"
YES
FUCKING
PLEASE

[holemajora]

Q, the original, was an absolute legend, flame throwers, net guns, laser watches, jet boats and all the good things that go boom.

[RTplays]

Brosnan will forever be my 007. Can't change my childhood with his face on GoldenEye's 64 cartridge.
