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.
