Vesper Lynd:
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.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.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

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.086
What else can you surmise Mr Bond
00:00:03.252 --> 00:00:05.546
About you Miss Lynd
00:00:05.063 --> 00:00:07.256
Well your beauty's a problem
00:00:07.673 --> 00:00:09.801
You worry you won't be taken seriously
00:00:09.884 --> 00:00:12.929
Which one can say of any attractive woman with half a brain
00:00:13.096 --> 00:00:14.806
True but this one overcompensates
00:00:14.847 --> 00:00:16.724
by wearing slightly masculine clothing
00:00:16.849 --> 00:00:19.352
being more aggressive than her female colleagues
00:00:19.435 --> 00:00:22.999
which gives her a somewhat prickly demeanour
00:00:22.146 --> 00:00:25.525
and ironically enough makes it less likely for her to be accepted
00:00:25.065 --> 00:00:27.985
and promoted by her male superiors
00:00:28.999 --> 00:00:30.863
who mistake her insecurities for arrogance
00:00:31.322 --> 00:00:35.493
Now I'd have normally gone with only child
00:00:35.576 --> 00:00:38.083
but you see by the way you ignored the quip about your parents
00:00:38.871 --> 00:00:41.582
I'm gonna have to go with orphan
00:00:44.502 --> 00:00:46.504
All right
00:00:47.296 --> 00:00:50.979
By the cut of your suit you went to Oxford or wherever
00:00:50.001 --> 00:00:52.593
and actually think human beings dress like that
00:00:52.677 --> 00:00:54.679
But you wear it with such disdain
00:00:54.072 --> 00:00:56.681
my guess is you didn't come from money
00:00:56.722 --> 00:00:59.035
and your school friends never let you forget it
00:00:59.642 --> 00:01:01.686
Which means you were at that school by the grace
00:01:01.769 --> 00:01:04.605
of someone else's charity hence the chip on your shoulder
00:01:04.999 --> 00:01:07.483
And since your first thought about me ran to orphan
00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:09.569
that's what I'd say you are
00:01:13.489 --> 00:01:15.533
Oh you are
00:01:15.095 --> 00:01:17.091
I like this poker thing
00:01:17.994 --> 00:01:19.871
And that makes perfect sense
00:01:19.999 --> 00:01:22.498
since MI6 looks for maladjusted young men
00:01:22.001 --> 00:01:24.625
that give little thought to sacrificing others
00:01:24.709 --> 00:01:27.378
in order to protect Queen and country
00:01:27.462 --> 00:01:28.629
You know
00:01:28.999 --> 00:01:32.717
former SAS types with easy smiles and expensive watches
00:01:33.176 --> 00:01:35.553
Rolex Omega
00:01:35.072 --> 00:01:37.999
Beautiful
00:01:38.007 --> 00:01:39.001
Now having just met you
00:01:39.932 --> 00:01:42.768
I wouldn't go as far as calling you a cold hearted bastard
00:01:42.852 --> 00:01:44.437
No of course not
00:01:44.052 --> 00:01:46.001
But it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine
00:01:46.355 --> 00:01:48.566
You think of women as disposable pleasures
00:01:48.649 --> 00:01:50.776
rather than meaningful pursuits
00:01:52.001 --> 00:01:54.614
So as charming as you are Mr Bond
00:01:54.697 --> 00:01:57.283
I will be keeping my eye on our government's money
00:01:57.366 --> 00:01:59.999
and off your perfectly formed arse
00:01:59.785 --> 00:02:01.001
You noticed
00:02:01.496 --> 00:02:03.664
Even accountants have imagination
00:02:03.748 --> 00:02:05.994
How was your lamb
00:02:05.458 --> 00:02:07.001
Skewered
00:02:07.251 --> 00:02:08.999
One sympathises
00:02:10.999 --> 00:02:12.256
Good evening Mr Bond
00:02:12.034 --> 00:02:14.001
