No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!

A classic scene, of course. I was referring to incidences when a character asks Bond either a question to see if he's up to snuff in the field or when someone tries lecturing Bond on a topic. Bond then spews the Reader's Digest version of the topic at hand, soliciting eye rolls, irritation, and animosity. It happens frequently with M, like when he lectures M on his lepidoptera* collection but also with other characters, for example, Dr.Holly Good head, who trying to explain the Moonraker shuttle to Bond gets rudely interrupted by Bond who annoyingly shows off his knowledge regarding the shuttle. Bond also treats Q frequently in an amused or derogatory manner, giving Q little to no respect for his creations.

* A large variety of nectar-feeding insects with two pairs of often but not always brightly colored wings that are covered with microscopic scales and that are related to but distinguished from moths by the appearance of their antennae and by displaying their wings erect at rest and by being diurnal. Butterflies, Sir. (That's what Bond should have told M for maximum.annoyance - he only told him his specimen was of unusual size)

I love the irony in this one.
 
WWII era petrol lighter as supplied to our troops by the Bowers MFG CO out of Kalamazoo, Michigan. It's one of my grandpa's many lighters. This lighter is mostly made from nickel-plated brass. Still works like a charm after 80 or more years.

Note the helmet-looking cap that serves three purposes. It protects the wick, it slows the evaporation of fuel, and it snuffs the flame automatically when the windshield is lowered.


Windshield extended with, the cap swiveled out of the way and the wick exposed but hidden from side view.


The flame lit. Since it's an all-metal lighter it gets hot very quickly, You can see the two breathing holes/slots on the side of the windshield. These cause a stove effect.


A neat touch is the spare flint holder that resides in the fuel plug and that accommodates up to three flints.
