[After Allan reveals his identity to Reed]

Shall I toddle off, then, Allan?

Yes, of course, Nigel, toddle off.

Toddling.

Everyone. A world war.

Allan Quatermain

And this notion makes you sweat?

Sanderson Reen

Heavens, man. Doesn't it you?

This is Africa, dear boy. Sweating is what we do.

Where is your sense of patriotism?

Allan Quatermain
[stands up with a drink]

God save the Queen.

Nigel
[the other patrons of the club mutter an apathetic return to the toast]

God save her.

That's about as patriotic as it gets around here.

Allan Quatermain

Ah, you're missing a picture, Mr. Gray.

And you don't miss a thing, do you, Mr. Quatermain?

Allan Quatermain

Oh, sometimes.

Nemo worships death. Are we sure we can trust him?

Allan Quatermain

He's not the one I'm worried about.

M

After Africa's veldts, London's climate isn't affecting your mood, I see...

Allan Quatermain

Identify yourself.

M

I am known by many names, Mr. Quatermain. My underlings call me Sir. My superiors call me M.

Allan Quatermain

M?

M

Just M.

Allan Quatermain

I may have been overly rude earlier... when I called you a pirate.

And I may have been overly charitable... when I said I wasn't. But I try to live in the now... where the ghosts of old wrongs do not abide.

Allan Quatermain

I've had women along on past exploits, and found them to be, at best, a distraction.

Do I distract you?

Allan Quatermain

My dear girl, I've buried two wives and many lovers... and I'm in no mood for more of either.

You can send 'em my way.

Allan Quatermain

Skinner, shut up.

Allan Quatermain
[Quatermain and Sawyer have 'M' at gunpoint.]

Do not move, M. Or would you prefer, Professor... James... Moriarty, hmm?

M

James Moriarty? The so-called Napoleon of Crime? That man died at Reichenbach Falls. He died... and I was reborn!

M

I hope I've got your fire when I'm your age.

Allan Quatermain

You will not live beyond today. That I promise you.
