C Quotes in Spectre (2015)

C: Take a look at the world... chaos... because people like you, paper-pushers and politicians, are too spineless to do what needs to be done so I made an alliance to put the power where it should be, and now you want to throw it away for the sake of democracy, whatever the hell that is. How predictably moronic.

[points gun at M]

C: But then isn't that what 'M' stands for... 'moron'?

[squeezes trigger, realizes the gun is unloaded]

M: And now we know what 'C' stands for... 'careless'.

[after shutting C out of his mainframe]

M: Not a good feeling being watched, is it?

C: Don't tell me you're responsible for this.

M: No, but my quartermaster is and he's extremely talented.

C: Oh, bravo. But in case you hadn't realized it, you two are out of a job so you're trespassing.

M: I'm afraid you've got the wrong end of the stick, Max. We're going to stop this system going online, and then I'm going to bring you in.

C: On what grounds, exactly?

M: Poor taste in friends.

C: You can't tell me an agent in the field can last long against all those drones and satellites.

M: Yes, you have information. You can find out all about a man, track him down, keep an eye on him. But you have to look him in the eye. All the tech you have can't help you with that. A license to kill also means a license NOT to kill.

C: When are you going to realize you don't matter anymore?

M: Maybe not. But something has to.

C: [enters M's office] So sorry, am I interrupting?

M: Not remotely. 007, I'd like you to meet Max Denbigh, head of the Joint Security Service.

C: Well it's a pleasure to finally meet you, 007. I've heard a lot about you. Most of it good.

James Bond: [offers hand] Congratulations on your new appointment.

C: [shakes Bond's hand] Thank you.

James Bond: I suppose we should call you "C" now.

C: No, no. "Max," please.

James Bond: No, I think I'll call you "C"... C.

C: As you wish. Well my door is always open, 007, for my employees. This merger's gonna be a whole new chapter for us. We're going to bring British intelligence out of the dark ages... into the light.

James Bond: That all sounds lovely.

C: Why can't you just face it, M? You don't matter anymore.

M: Maybe I don't. But something has to.

[M and C fight, until C falls off the balcony to his death]

'C': In our service it is essential to bury the past very quickly and very securely.

M: When I was little and we used to move all the time, I'd write these notes and I would fold them up really small. And I would hide them.

M: They're just things I wanted to remember so that if I ever wanted to go back, there'd be a piece of me there waiting.

M: What is it you like about this house so much?

C: History.
