[Elektra escorts Renard to a cell in Maiden's Tower where M is being held captive]
Elektra King : [to Renard as she announces that she has captured M for him] Your present, courtesy of the late Mr. Bond.
Renard : My executioner.
M : Overpraise, I'm afraid. But my people will finish the job.
Elektra King : Your people? Your people will leave you here to rot. Just like you left me- you and my father.
M : [Getting up from a bench in the cell and walking towards the cell bars] Your father wasn't...
Elektra King : [Interrupting M] MY FATHER WAS NOTHING! His kingdom he stole from my mother, the kingdom I will rightly take back.
[Elektra walks towards the cell door and leaves. Renard closes the door behind her and walks towards M]
M : I hope you're proud of what you did to her.
Renard : I'm afraid it is you who deserve credit. When I took her, she was promise itself. And then you left her at the mercy of a man like me. You ruined her. For what? To get to me? She's worth fifty of me.
M : For once, I agree with you.
Renard : Yes. And now we also share a common fate. You will die along with everyone in the city.
[Renard turns his back and walks towards a table with junk surrounding it]
Renard : Along with the bright, starry, oil driven future of the West.
[Renard reaches for an alarm clock and holds it in his hands]
Renard : Since you sent your men to kill me, I've been watching time tick slowly away, marching towards my own death. Now you can have the same pleasure.
[Renard picks up a stool and totes them towards M's cell. He lays the alarm clock on top of the stool points at it]
Renard : Watch these hands, M. By noon tomorrow, your time is up. And I guarantee you, I will not miss.

[after M arrived at the pipleine control centre, Bond and M go into a nearby room]
M : I want an update. Where do we stand?
James Bond : [giving M the locator card] One of Renard's men removed a locator card from the bomb, so we can't track it. But...
M : [cutting Bond off] But what?
James Bond : With all due respect, I don't think you should be here.
M : May I remind you that YOU'RE the reason I'm here, Double-Oh-Seven. You disobeyed a direct order and left that girl alone.
James Bond : Perhaps that girl isn't as innocent as you think.
M : What are you saying?
James Bond : Supposed the inside man, the one who switched King's lapel pin, turned out to be an inside woman.
[M pauses for a moment]
M : She kills her father and attacks her own pipeline? Why? To what end?
James Bond : I don't know. Yet.
-
M : This will not stand. We will not be terrorized by cowards who will murder an innocent man and use us as the tool.
-
M : [Reading Bond's medical report] I see the good doctor has cleared you. Notes you have exceptional stamina.
Ms. Moneypenny : I'm sure she was touched by his dedication
[walks toward Dr. Molly Warrmflash]
Ms. Moneypenny : to the job in hand.
-
M : If there's even the slightest chance, Bond will survive. He's the best we have... though I'd never tell him.
-
M : What's the time?
Elektra King : Time for you to die.
