Has anyone else who has read the script noticed

Spoiler

the last line is written with a comma between James and Bond? If you don't understand what I mean, it looks like: The name is Bond. James, Bond. Do you think this is how Craig will deliver the line?

Just wondering...

[Vauxhall]

Doubt it to be honest. I'd fully expect him to deliver the line as it always has been. I guess it was probably just a typo - there are several factual, grammatical and spelling errors in that draft.

[Bondian]

I would say the 'period', or 'full stop' is a pause.

So he'll say. Bond [pause] James Bond.

Whether he'll say it as that, we'll have to wait and see.

Cheers,

I just hope it's a casual, all business delivery, not like Brosnan's "wait for applause" way of doing it.

[Skudor]

I expect it will be perfect. A pity he has to say it. Would be nice if they left it for the next one.

[Double-O-Kevin]

maybe it's "Bond. James...Bond."

the comma may imply a slight pause, as sort of an emphasis on a casual approach to the line. i could see it like this, however it may just be a typo.

guess we'll have to wait and see...



please arrive soon, November 17.

I imagine that whoever wrote it had the impression that there should be a slight pause before the Bond due to an emphasis on James.

[JCRendle]

Unlike Brosnan's "Bond" 8 seconds later "James Bond" in TWINE, He usally left the gap for 2 - 3 seconds, which annoyed me too.

[Matt_13]

I originally thought it was a typo...but when I thought about it, I thought the pause could have been intentional, as that line is a throwback to the embassy where he simply says the names Bond and now they would want to put emphasis on the James. Just a thought...

SO the last line of the movie is not the same last line from the book? just currious.

[Loomis]

While I haven't read the script, I understand that the final line is actually:

Spoiler

(The name's) Bond, James Bond, what's yours?

Now, is it just me, or is the

Spoiler

"what's yours"

unnecessary and impact-blunting? ('course, we'll have to see how it's actually delivered and everything.) Wouldn't it be more powerful to just end with

Spoiler

"Bond, James Bond"

?

[JCRendle]

Spoiler

"The name's Bond, James Bond - And yours?" is a throw back to an earlier scene.

[sharpshooter]

An emphasis on the "James" part will absolutely rule if done. An unique delivery, and integral to the story.

No - that particular last line from the book is in the movie, but in the penultimate scene, not the final one.

[Skudor]

I'm just gagging to see this. It sounds so incredibly good.

I fear, along with someone who started a thread about it, that CR may simply be to good to top. But who cares!!

Yes...that may just have fooled them.
