影片对白

Bond: May I ask you where it is?

Lynd: 10 million waswiredto your account in Montenegro with a contingency of 5 more if I deem a prudent investment. I suppose you have been given some thought of the notion that if you lose, our government will have directly financed terrorism. What looks good? So you are telling me it is a matter of probability and odds. I was worried there wasn't chance involved.

Bond: Have you ever seen the player with the besthandwins?

Lynd: So, that would be what you call bluffing.

Bond: You heard the term. Then you also know in poker you never play your hand. You play the man across you.

Lynd: And you are good at reading people?

Bond: Yes, I am. Which is why I've been able to detect an undercurrent of sarcasm in your voice.

Lynd: I am not sure our money isin good hands.

Bond: You don't think this is a very good plan, do you?

Lynd: So there is a plan. I got the impression we were risking millions of dollars and hundreds of lives in a game of luck. What else can you surmise, Mr. Bond?

Bond: About you? Miss Lynd? Well, your beauty is a problem. You worry you wouldn't be taken seriously.

Lynd: Which one could say of any attractive women with half a brain.

Bond: True, but this one overcompensates by wearing slightly masculine clothing, being more aggressive than her female colleagues, which gives her somewhat prickly demeanor, and ironically enough, makes it less likely for her to be accepted and promoted by her male superiors and mistaken her insecurities for arrogance. Now I'd normally gone with only child but, you see, by the way you ignore the quip on your parents, I'm going to have to go with orphan.

Lynd: All right. By the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford whatever. Naturally think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such a disdain, my guess is that you did not come from money and your school friends never let you forget it. Which means you are at that schoolby the grace ofsomeone else's charity. Hence the chip on your shoulder, and since you first thought of me render orphan, that is what I say you are. Oh, you are?! I like speculating and that makes perfect sense. Since MI6 looked for an unadjusted young man who'dgive little thoughtin sacrificing others in order to protect Queen and country, you know, formerSAStypes witheasy smilesand expensive watches, Rolex?

Bond: Omega.

Lynd: Beautiful. Now I just met you, I wouldn't go as far as calling you a cold hearted bastard.

Bond: No, of course not.

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.

Bond: You noticed.

Lynd: Even accountants have imagination. How was your lamb?

Bond:Skewered, one sympathizes.

Lynd: Good evening, Mr. Bond.

Bond: Good evening, Miss. Lynd.

James Bond 的感情生活

In the novels (notablyFrom Russia with Love), Bond's physical description has generally been consistent: slim build; a three-inch, vertical scar on his right cheek (absent from the film version); blue-grey eyes; a "cruel" mouth; short, black hair, a comma of which falls on his forehead (greying at the temples in Gardner's novels); and (afterCasino Royale) the faint scar of the Russian cyrillic letter "Ш" (SH) (for Shpion: "Spy") on the back of one of his hands (carved by a SMERSH agent). InFrom Russia with Lovehe is also described as 183 centimeters (6 feet) in height and 76 kilograms (167 lbs.) in weight.

In all media, Bond is portrayed as highly intelligent, and in the films is something of a "know-it-all." InGoldfinger, he calculates in his head how many trucks it takes to transport all the gold in Fort Knox, and how long the gold would be radioactive after Auric Goldfinger's bomb had exploded. Bond's "genius" became a running joke during Moore's era. It was virtually eliminated during Dalton's tenure as 007.

When not on assignment or at headquarters Bond spends his time at his flat off the Kings Road in Chelsea. His flat, as well as himself, is looked after by an elderly Scottish housekeeper named May, who is very loyal and often motherly to him. According to Higson's Young Bond series, May previously worked for Bond's aunt, Charmian. Bond hardly ever brings women back to his home, happening only once between the novelsDiamonds Are ForeverandFrom Russia with Lovewhen he briefly lived with Tiffany Case. According to Pearson's book and hinted at inFrom Russia with Love, Tiffany often got into arguments with May and eventually left. At his home, Bond has two telephones. One for personal use and a second red phone that is a direct line between his home and headquarters; the latter is said to always be ringing at inopportune moments.

In both the literary and cinematic versions ofOn Her Majesty's Secret Service, James Bond marries, but his bride, Teresa "Tracy" di Vicenzo, is killed on their wedding day by his archenemy, Ernst Stavro Blofeld; the loss resonates in both versions of the character for many years thereafter. In the novels, Bond gets revenge in the following novel,You Only Live Twicewhen, by chance, he comes across Blofeld in Japan, while the cinematic Bond takes on Blofeld inDiamonds Are Foreverwith an ambiguous result. Later, in the pre-title sequence ofFor Your Eyes Only, Bond despatches a bald, wheelchair-bound man who bears a startling resemblance to Blofeld, shortly after viewing his wife's grave (the character was not named for legal reasons connected with EON Productions' ongoing dispute with Kevin McClory over the film rights to the novel Thunderball).

Bond had one child by Kissy Suzuki inYou Only Live Twice, although he never learns of the boy's existence in Fleming's novels. In Pearson's book, the son is named James Suzuki. Bond is obviously aware of his son's existence by the time of Raymond Benson's short story "Blast From the Past" in which his son asks him to come to New York City as a matter of urgency before being killed by Irma Bunt. The story's canonical status is often disputed since it appears to exist outside the timeline of all continuation novels, including Benson's own.
