How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Skyfall.
Quote #1
M: Take the shot. [pause] I said take the shot.
EVE: I can't! I may hit Bond.
M: Take the bloody shot!
For Bond, M's order is a double betrayal. Not only did M put his life in danger by ordering Eve to take a risky shot, but also, by ordering Eve to take the shot, M is showing a lack of confidence in Bond's abilities. She doesn't think he can recover the data on his own.
Quote #2
M: Oh, we've sold your flat, put your things into storage. Standard procedure on the death of an unmarried employee with no next of kin. You should have called.
M comes across as petty here, but she really did think Bond was dead. She didn't sell his stuff just to spite him.
Quote #3
TANNER: I didn't know Bond passed the tests.
M: He didn't.
M's response comes off as a moment of levity here, breaking the tension after a serious situation. But we'll later learn that her lying is no laughing matter: she may have thought she was helping Bond, but her actions almost get him killed.
