Quotes 

• Tiger Tanaka : I have much curiosity, Bond-san. What is Little Nellie?

  James Bond : Oh, she's a wonderful girl. Very small. Quite fast. Can do anything. Just your type.

  Tiger Tanaka : A toy helicopter?

  Q : No, it's certainly not a toy! You'll see. We've made one or two improvements since you've used her last. I'll give you the drill.

  Tiger Tanaka : This can only be for children! Don't use it, Bond-san; take my helicopter instead.

• Q : [Showing Bond the improvements to little Nellie, his one-man helicopter]  Right. Now, pay attention. Two machine guns, fixed.

  James Bond : Synchronized to what?

  Q : A hundred yards; using incendiaries, and high explosives. Two rocket launchers, forward-firing, one on either side.

  James Bond : Fine.

  Q : Now, two heat-seeking air-to-air missiles; sixty miles a minute.

  James Bond : Good.

  Q : Flame guns. Two of them, firing astern.

  James Bond : What range?

  Q : Eighty yards. Two smoke ejectors, next door to them. Aerial mines; now, remember to use them only when directly above target. That's about the lot, I think. You know the rest, don't you?

  James Bond : Yes.

• Tiger Tanaka : [discussing Osato Chemicals' supertanker, the Ning-Po, which is known to be smuggling rocket fuel]  We shadowed the Ning-Po to the outer islands.

  Aki : It was very dark. Hard to see her all the time.

  Tiger Tanaka : But we know she stopped somewhere. Look at these photos.

  [Tiger hands James photos of the Ning-Po] 

  Aki : Look at the water line.

  James Bond : [noticing the higher water line of the ship in seperate photos]  You're right. Fully laden here, and empty here.

  James Bond : [getting up]  I want to take a look at the island now. Is Little Nellie here?

  Tiger Tanaka : Yes. And her father.

  [James, Aki, and Tiger enter a nearby garage where an agitated and sweating Q is waiting] 

  James Bond : [sarcastically]  Welcome to Japan, Dad. Is my little girl hot and ready?

  Q : [annoyed]  Look, 007, I've had a long and tiring journey, probably to no purpose, and I'm in no mood for your juvenile quips.
