I can only dream to have such a presence. Especially at work. ;)
I love this scene, but I feel the 'come back alive' line was a mistake. It softened her too much but its understandable that they didn't want M to come across like a total icy super-bitch.
My personal favourite Dench line is in QOS; once Bond escapes mi6 custody: 'I couldn't give a shit about the CIA, he's my agent and I trust him.'
It's a great moment, as it solidifies the relationship between Bond and M and the fact that the pair implicitly trust each other. Also I like the fact that Bond isn't present when she says the line, I don't think Judi's M would ever really admit something like that in front of him.
I also love her line at the end of the film: "I need you back." Of course she means the line in a professional context (she wants him back on duty) but there is obviously a great personal note to it as well.
Personal fav?
"You stormed into an embassy. You violated the only inviolate rule of international relationships. And for what? To kill a nobody? We wanted to question him, not to KILL HIM! My God, you're supposed to show some sort of judgement"
Honourable mentions: Quoting Tennyson, "I've f***ed this up haven't I", sexist and misogynist speech from GE.
