Christmas |
James: Come on – give me your hand. Jump, jump, jump! (she jumps out of pipe, onto ground)
Christmas: Do you want to explain why you did that? I could have stopped that bomb! You almost killed us!
James: I did kill us. She thinks we’re dead. She thinks she got away with it.
Christmas: Do you want to put that in English for those of us that don’t speak “Spy?” Who’s “she?”
James: Electra King .
Christmas: Why would she blow up her own pipeline?
James: It makes her look innocent. The explosion covers up the theft of plutonium, and make it look like a terrorist attack.
Christmas: But why leave this half?
James: So there’s enough to spread around, to cover up for the part that they did take.
Christmas: But what are they going to do with the other half? It’s not enough to make a nuclear bomb.
James:You’re the scientist, you tell me.
Christmas: I don’t know. But the world’s greatest terrorist running around with 6 kilos of weapons-grade plutonium can’t be good. I have to get it back, or somebody’s going to have my ass.
James: First things first.

James is a very smart guy. His speech style is nice and clear. Christmas is supposed to be smart, but she doesn’t sound like it. Both of them are probably in their 30’s. James Bond movies are always a lot of fun. James always gets into trouble, but wins in the end. He does very well with women, and once again, his co-star is beautiful. She is a terrible actor, but her looks keep her entertaining to watch “in my book.” Have fun with this one. Lots of action and “one-liners.”—Doc
