After being sent to Norway on a suicide mission by M, who was very miffed that 007 would see fit to deflower his daughter in her Oxford dorm room, Bond finds himself a kept guest of an unknown antagonist played by Alan Arkin.
Having recreated the bar and card room from CR, he invites Bond to play poker and discuss the night of the very game where he essentially ended the life of Le Chiffre. The game has become legend amongst high flying card players. During their game and conversation Arkin reveals that Quantum is actually two organizations in one. There is a black side and a white side, and since its creation the two have played a chess match to achieve dominance. The creator of the organization insisted on this particular characteristic as a prime imperative.
Knowing that Bond is on the outs with MI6, Mr. Black asks Bond to come work for him, and flips over a poker card with Mr. White’s picture. It’s not a glamor shot. Mr. White is limping through an Italian back alley with a bullet in his leg, attempting to pour himself into the back of a rolling Merc.
Bond tells Black to sod off and that he can do his own dirty work; he’s seen an escape route and he can patch things up with M back in the kingdom. “I may be MI6’s least decorated these days, Mr. Black, but I’m still a bloody crown servant.”

Bond accepts as he will have a shot at finishing White once and for all, and his career with MI6 is temporarily over. “Well there’s no reason to waste time discussing a situation that’s this black and white. We’ve got work to do.”
