PTS: Bond turns to shoot the bad guy--cut to the gun barrel sequence. What a jolt!

Winning the early Aston Martin DB5 in a poker game. Didn't Bond win his Bentley the same way in the novel?

Bond and Vesper on the train:
Vesper: "I'm the MONEY."
Bond: "Every PENNY of it."
Money-Penny. The nods to the novel prevail.

At the poker table, when Bond gives the ingredients to his martini.
Another wink to the novel. Now the world knows how to make the proper Vesper. How many people rushed off to the liquor store for Gordon's gin, (Smirnoff) vodka, and Kina Lillet vermouth.
But is this a vodka martini?

The torture scene: "The whole world is going to know you died while scratching my balls."
Absolutely hillarious. THAT's the British stiff upper lip to a "tea."

"The bitch is dead."
And M replies: "Need I remind you about that defibrulator business. She must have offered the money in exchange for your life." (Or something like that.)
After hanging up. Bond contemplates M's insight about Vesper, the bitch. The scene is slight, but important to Bond's character. He is forced by M's words to consider that Vesper's love for him was indeed real. 7777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
"The name's Bond. James Bond."
Immediate cut to THE Bond Theme and credits. Yes Daniel, you truely deserve to utter those immortal words, you have well earned it!

"James Bond will return."
Like Malory's "King Arthur will return..."
This has always been done with Bond films, but this time, there is no next title. It's a full-stop exclamation-He Will Return!!!
And thank the Pinewood gods for that!
