What else can you surmise, Mr. Bond? About you, Miss Lynd? Well, your beauty's a problem....

Something wrong with the clip?

Quote

Vesper Lynd: [sitting on opposite sides of the dinner table, discussing poker skills on the train heading towards Montenegro] What else can you surmise, Mr. Bond? James Bond: About you, Miss Lynd? Well, your beauty's a problem. You worry you won't be taken seriously. Vesper Lynd: Which one can say of any attractive woman with half a brain. James Bond: True. But this one overcompensates by wearing slightly masculine clothing. Being more aggressive than her female colleagues. Which gives her a somewhat *prickly* demeanor, and ironically enough, makes it less likely for her to be accepted and promoted by her male superiors, who mistake her insecurities for arrogance. Now, I'd have normally gone with "only child," but, you see, by the way you ignored the quip about your parents... I'm gonna have to go with "orphan." Vesper Lynd: All right... by the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford or wherever. Naturally you think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain, my guess is you didn't come from money, and your school friends never let you forget it. Which means you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity - hence that chip on your shoulder. And since your first thought about me ran to "orphan," that's what I'd say you are. [he smiles but says nothing] Vesper Lynd: Oh, you are? I like this poker thing. And that makes perfect sense! Since MI6 looks for maladjusted young men, who give little thought to sacrificing others in order to protect Queen and country. You know... former SAS types with easy smiles and expensive watches. [Glances at his wrist] Vesper Lynd: Rolex? James Bond: Omega. Vesper Lynd: Beautiful. Now, having just met you, I wouldn't go as far as calling you a cold-hearted bastard... James Bond: No, of course not. Vesper Lynd: But it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine. You think of women as disposable pleasures, rather than meaningful pursuits. So as charming as you are, Mr. Bond, I will be keeping my eye on our government's money - and off your perfectly-formed arse. James Bond: You noticed? Vesper Lynd: Even accountants have imagination. How was your lamb? James Bond: Skewered! One sympathizes. Vesper Lynd: Good evening, Mr. Bond. James Bond: Good evening, Ms. Lynd.

...and hundreds of lives on a game of luck. What else can you surmise, Mr. Bond? About you, Miss Lynd? Well, your beauty's a problem. You worry you won't be taken seriously. Which one can say of any attractive woman with half a brain. True, but this one overcompensates... ...by wearing slightly masculine clothing... ...being more aggressive than her female colleagues... ...which gives her a somewhat prickly demeanor... ...and ironically enough, makes it less likely for her to be accepted... ...and promoted by her male superiors... ...who mistake her insecurities for arrogance. Now, I'd have normally gone with only child... ...but, you see, by the way you ignored the quip about your parents... ...l'm gonna have to go with orphan. All right. By the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford or wherever... ...and actually think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain... ...my guess is you didn't come from money... ...and your school friends never let you forget it. Which means you were at that school by the grace... ...of someone else's charity, hence the chip on your shoulder. And since your first thought about me ran to orphan... ...that's what I'd say you are. Oh, you are. I like this poker thing. And that makes perfect sense... ...since Ml6 looks for maladjusted young men... ...that give little thought to sacrificing others... ...in order to protect Queen and country. You know... ...former SAS types with easy smiles and expensive watches. -Rolex? -Omega. Beautiful. Now, having just met you... ...I wouldn't go as far as calling you a cold-hearted bastard. No, of course not. But it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine. You think of women as disposable pleasures... ...rather than meaningful pursuits. So as charming as you are, Mr. Bond... ...I will be keeping my eye on our government's money... ...and off your perfectly formed arse. You noticed? Even accountants have imagination. How was your lamb? Skewered. One sympathizes. Good evening, Mr. Bond. Good evening, Miss Lynd. -Hotel Splendid, sir? -That's right. -Thank you, sir. -Thank you. It's just last-minute details. Apparently we're very much in love. Do you usually leave it to porters to tell you this sort of thing? Only when the romance has been necessarily brief. I'm Mr. Arlington Beech, professional gambler... ...and you're Miss Stephanie Broadchest-- -I am not. -You're gonna have to trust me on this. Oh, no, I don't. We've been involved for quite a while... ...hence the shared suite. But my family is strict Roman Catholic... ...so for appearances' sake, it'll be a two-bedroom suite. I do hate it when religion comes between us. Religion and a securely locked door. Am I going to have a problem with you, Bond? No, don't worry. You're not my type. Smart? Single. Welcome to the Hotel Splendid. Your name, sir? James Bond. You'll find the reservation under Beech. -Welcome, Mr. Bond. -You sign that, dear. You represent the Treasury. Thank you. Enjoy your stay. I will. Thank you. Very funny. Look, if Le Chiffre is that well-connected... ...he knows who I am and where the money's from. Which means he's decided to play me anyway. So he's either desperate or he's overly confident... ...but either way, that tells me something about him. And all he gets in return is a name he already has. And now he knows something about you. He knows you're reckless. Take the next one. There isn't enough room for me and your ego. Mr. Bond? -It was left for you. -Thank you. I love you too, M.
