Best Bond girl, in my book. Her characterization, her vulnerability, the way she counters Bond’s ego where nearly any other Bond girl wouldn’t have, and her death is what makes Vesper so memorable. Eva Green killed it. Her and Daniel Craig’s chemistry is palpable. I like how you can feel like she still haunts Bond even now going into No Time to Die
And here i was thinking why the other video i opened simultaneously had such a high volume. It wasnt that it was high, it was that this video had a low volume.
This scene really felt like something else. When I first saw it, I was blown away by the dialogue they had - no simple small talk, it has more depth and intellectual discussion/matching than seen before in a Bond movie in such a short amount of time. Really well done. Casino Royale will remain as one of the greatest Bond movies ever.
I didn't really understand her analysis of Bond. And/or how she came to those conclusions. Also whether the conclusions that Bond made about her were true or not.
@@spacemann1425 I don't think you are supposed to think about it that much. They expect you to believe they are both accurate and leave it at that. It's clever dialog but not mind blowing and like you said a bit unrealistic.
@@spacemann1425 I haven't read the books in awhile so she might be guessing on the school. And she did say "Oxford or wherever", meaning he went to an upscale school.
The scene of Bond visiting her grave in NO TIME TO DIE was beautiful. But him saying "I miss you" added another layer to the scene. Vesper was the best Bond girl ever.
That’s why I don’t believe as well his relationship with Madeleine, besides the lack of chemistry they have. I believe Bond isn’t really that in love with Madeleine as he was with Vesper.
The first bond movies I watched were Pierce's installments. But the next Bond movie I watched, many years later, was this one. So, without fully understanding everything about Bond, I thought that she was supposed to be Moneypenny from that first introduction until, of course, she pulled her business card. nice Easter egg though.
Perfectly written; perfectly shot; perfectly acted. As compelling and concise an introductory meeting as you will see even in films with more serious intentions. Just wonderful.
@@Hephasto No explanation, no reasoned criticism. Just the automatic gainsaying of another person's opinion. And expressed as a private post, as a gutless person would do. Maybe think about getting a life, troll.
And her character was only 23 (per her gravestone in nttd). Imagine being one year out of university and being able to carry yourself in all the situations they faced in this movie. Her youth also gives context to how she ended up being manipulated into being a double agent. And it makes her suicide a little more understandable, because she was so young that she didn’t realize time really heals all.
@@UseanameI think the French like Eva Green are much more mature in their ways than Americans. I think it’s the same with Brits like myself I think we mature much faster than Americans because we finish school at 16 and we have the responsibility of going straight into a job or either go to college/sixth form to have 2 more years of being a young teenager with education being the only most important responsibility and you can have fun like house parties or having secret drinks with you mates. At 16 in Britain you are treated like a grown adult.
Obviously this scene is a masterclass in dialogue for all the reasons others have mentioned. But it's also a really economical scene in the way it fits in with the larger film. The writers are doing several things at once in a scene that only lasts 4 minutes: 1) Introduces us to Vesper's character. In addition to conveying the fundamentals like her personality and significance to the narrative - "the money" - the conversation sets up her relationship with Bond as initially adversarial but with an undercurrent of flirtation foreshadowing her role as a love interest and foil for Bond. 2) Takes place on a train which shows us how our characters got from Point A to Point B. This adds a feeling of realism and helps ground the European setting where trains are commonplace. A lesser film wouldn't show the characters in transit and miss out on this storytelling opportunity. 3) Gives important exposition about the scenes we're going to see later in the film. We learn that this is a very high stakes poker game - played with millions of dollars - and that for Bond to lose this game would "directly finance terrorism", raising the metaphorical stakes even higher. 4) Reveals to us background about Bond in terms of his education, upbringing and attitudes towards women. That he's actually an orphan who received his first class education on someone else's dime adds a lot of depth and some vulnerability to Craig's James Bond (along with his choice to gracefully concede at the end of their brief verbal sparring). It's a scene that should be taught in screenwriting courses everywhere for its masterful execution and significance to the larger plot. It's a perfect example of how to artfully convey exposition in film writing.
Yup. And also drops hints as to how Bond may have gotten into MI6 - probably joined the military after graduating from school, then the SAS, then was recruited into MI6 since "former SAS types" are what they look for.
But also with 4), it comes from a third party making a guess, so nothing in the dialogue is confirmed. It retains an air of mystery around Bond's past, but also gives is a brief glimpse into what may have been, same with 1) vice versa, never really reveals Vesper's past either

This! This is the difference between character-driven writing and plot-driven writing. In Casino Royale Paul Haggis put so much thought into Vesper and Bond's relationship. In an interview he said he knew he only had one scene and a few lines to make us believe these characters would fall in love and want us to root for them. So he made sure he understood the characters inside out, and asked what would make Bond fall in love with her. The answer? She challenges him, and more importantly, she sees the real person he is behind the armour he puts up. Compare this to the relationship between Bond and Madeleine in Spectre and No Time To Die. There's none of that depth there at all. The characters just feel like cardboard cutouts because all their decisions and actions only exist to make the plot happen. It's like the writers could never find a compelling reason why Bond and Madeleine liked each other.

Vesper embodies quite a lot. A lot. Almost too much. I don't think Eva Green embodies it like that in real life. But she's definitely a charming woman. That is more than enough than a man can fall in love with. I am too.
After all of those years I got goosebumps watching Bond return to Vesper's grave in NTTD saying "I miss you." I feel like I've been grieving alongside with Bond over her death all those years.

Casino Royal is my favorite Bond movie of all time! I rewatched it countless times. It’s the reason why I started watching 007 again. Thank you Martin Campbell.
Best Bond girl ever, and it's not even close. She had it all. The beauty, the charm, the wit, the feminine vulnerability and need to be protected. No wonder Bond fell for her.
If you want to say she's #1 I wouldn't strenuously object, but to say its not close is just not true. Diana Rigg as Tracy in OHMSS is absolutely right up there, in fact I think most Bond aficionados would still have her #1 and Eva #2.
By far one of my favourite Bond scenes of all time. Loved those last few lines after he's taken a serve from Vesper: Vesper: "How was the lamb?" Bond: "Skewered!.One sympathises" The entire scene is perfectly written and acted oh so deliciously!!!
I thought that was so corny. Every line was perfect up until then. "Skewered" was so forced. I mean.. I do love that he used the line to admit defeat, but it was just so unnatural...
When this movie came out my brother was a hotel manager. One of the VIP guests was an hour late checking out so it was his responsibility to go up and check things. He knocked on the door to no answer so he opened the door and walked in. Inside he found Eva Green dressed in a silk dressing gown writing a letter at a desk. He said she was so graceful, elegant and polite. She was in Sydney promoting the film with Craig who was staying in a mansion somewhere else.
I’m not a huge Bond fan but this will always be my favorite of the Craig movies. I love the tightly shot action scenes, the chemistry between him and Vesper that remains unparalleled to any of the subsequent Bond Girls, and the villain played by Mads Mikkelsen…
And this is how I know you have seen maybe 3 Bond movies in your life. Plenty of women have challenged him before. There's Pussy Galore, Anya Asimova, Holly Goodhead, Pam Bouvier, Elektra King, among others
_i love this scene_ *did the chicken come before the egg or vice versa? how do you know its not THIS that made bond get his ego and remarks? let us remind you these series are reboots hence how "M" took over. How [quantum of solace] bond got a desk girl killed, he treats women like shit because they're gonna die regardless of what he does*
What a scene! They have wonderful chemistry together. She took him to a place he had never been before....true love. It broke my heart to see the ending of Casino Royale.....but it is still my all time favorite 007 movie.
Yeah I've watched Casino Royale several times and after initially viewing it I cannot watch the scene where she's in the elevator and drowns. It's just too awful 😥
Grew up with Roger Moore and no one could compare to him until I reluctantly sat down and watched the Daniel Craig rendition. Boy, was I blown away by the earthy, rawness of the character. Loved every moment of his movies.
Vesper Lynnd changed Bond's definition of women from disposable measures to meaningful pursuits, when he had made his mind to leave the 007 status only for her, when he said 'I am all yours' in the scene later on in the movie. The right woman always brings out the hero from each man. Sadly no one wanted him to have a normal life. As without him there woundn't be any sequels too!
@@stevensong8784 She has been referenced to in earlier Bond films with different actors playing Bond. In the last Pierce Brosnan movie, Sophie Marceau, the villain, asked him if he had ever lost anyone close to him. He remained silent. Of course he did end up bedding her, as well as the other women in the movie. Sophie deduced that he had boinked other women, but it ended up turning her on even more. Of course he ends up killing her as she was was about to kill him. "You'll miss me."; "I never miss". Cheers! :D He will have an indiscretion with the female enemy as well... "Oh James!"...
Really love the writers of this version of Casino Royale. It brought a real drama to Bond series for the first time, felt like a serious film with action.
Take note, screenwriters: THIS is how you do exposition PROPERLY. We get significant information on the history and personality of 2 of the main characters without a character practically staring right at the camera reading off character history to the audience directly, or a news channel broadcasting the information, or any of the other talentless hack methods that are so commonly employed nowadays. Instead, it is couched as not just a conversation, but a sort of competitive game between the two; which (the game) itself also, in the process, informs us even further about who they both are. It doesn't feel forced or unnatural or draw us out of the immersion in any way. Just beautiful 💯
I dig Lea Seydoux as an actress, but, man, there was so little empathy I had for her character's relationship with Bond in SPECTRE. It was so damn rushed and lacking emotion that I find it hard to believe that he would fall in love and run off with her at the end. Hopefully Time To Die will resolve that.
This pairing is perfect; the chemistry, dynamic, wit? Sexual tension is great. Both are perfect in their roles and both are enhanced by one another. One of the many reasons Casino is my absolute favourite Bond film AND one of my all time favourite films
She's an actress that has a really classic look to her. If she was making movies back in the 20s, she would have blown Clara Bow out of the water has Hollywood's "IT" Woman (because Eva Green is no girl).
I missed Vesper badly in No Time to die. The lady in NTTD has zero chemistry with Bond, with Eva Green it was magic. Hard to believe she came only in one movie and so long ago but still stands out.
A great scene and the chemistry ⚗ between them both is brilliant."Vesper I, hope you gave your parents hell for that" a classic Bond, line."How was your steak 😋 skewered one sympathies."
I wish if Bond's chemistry with Madeleine was at least 1% of what he had with Vesper..... Vesper Lynd is my favourite Bond-girl and the best, I believe.....
Always drawn back to this train scene.. i dont know what it is.. but i can just picture myself being on that train. Incredible scene and the dialogue is so witty, so well written. Their facial expressions, the lighting, every nuance of the scene is so memorable
An orphan raised by a wealthy family constantly reminded he didn't belong by his peer. This single breakdown of him was the setup for Bond and Blofeld's entire back story. Genius writing and attention to detail.
Love Eva Green! She’s no Bond girl, she’s the one! Who else can get Bond to parade in skimpy trunks, wear his heart on his sleeve, and almost give up his life as a spy until she broke his heart! Next to her, all Bond girls are meaningless!
The scene is crafted so beautifully. My favorite scene of the movie. That part where is says ‘every penny of it’ defines bond’s character in another level
If I had a top 3 for "dialogue between man and woman" this would be in there. The tension is just delicious. I'd love to hear your suggestions for others I should consider. Comment, please
The Before Trilogy. Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight. Also great dialogue in Almost Famous but not between man and woman, the "you're not cool" conversation with Lester Bangs.
The natural, effortless way Eva and Craig deliver this brilliantly written and directed scene - Exquisite filmmaking! How neither the writers, nor one of these two gifted actors got an Oscar nomination (for this scene alone), will always be beyond me!
Eva Green and her performance as Vesper Lynd is almost the antithesis of Denise Richards as Christmas Jones in The World is Not Enough. Vesper is a complex person, smart, witty, mysterious woman with a tragic destiny and is a key character in the movie, and Green more than nailed it. Richards' awful rendition of an already unidimensional eye candy makes us thank Christmas only comes once a year.
When Eva Green & Daniel Craig paired together for this film, & seeing it for the first time - I was bowled over by how beautiful they were, how talented. To radiate such heat with acting makes this film a classic for me. 🇨🇦
An absolutely stunning scene, and one of the best dialog between characters this side of a Tarantino film. Movie makers should learn from this that dialog really matters in a movie. One of my favorites in the Bond franchise, although nobody could beat Connery as Bond. Bravo to the writers and filmmakers of this gem!
Compare this scene to the scene in Spectre where Bond meets Madeline. No chemistry and not written as well as this scene. That’s why it’s hard to believe Bond would want a future with her. So the fact that they brought the character back for No Time to Die and what they did with her is rather hard to buy.
Best product placement of all time. With it, everybody knew the name Omega, and that bond was not only wearing it, but it was as classy, elegant and expensive as it's biggest competitor Rolex.
Vesper here is being a coquette with Bond, very cunning of her to use reverse psychology on bond to unsettle him by implying that he had no chance at all of bedding her, whilst at the same time making it known that she noticed his sexy body, albeit with a steely indifferent facial expression. Now Bond as an alpha male that he is, naturally is intrigued and naturally would want to smash that! Vesper gets what she wants, a nookie with 007, without looking needy. Both alphas win!😈😎

Eva is her own kind of woman. She's an enigma which makes her very sexy and appealing to bond.
same as she was in "Kindom of Heaven" .. some say she "french" when her acting portays a "hint of English heritage".
She was so intelligent and Witty they had amazing chemistry!!
When this movie came out my brother was a hotel manager. One of the VIP guests was an hour late checking out so it was his responsibility to go up and check things. He knocked on the door to no answer so he opened the door and walked in. Inside he found Eva Green dressed in a silk dressing gown writing a letter at a desk. He said she was so graceful, elegant and polite. She was in Sydney promoting the film with Craig who was staying in a mansion somewhere else.
I’m not a huge Bond fan but this will always be my favorite of the Craig movies. I love the tightly shot action scenes, the chemistry between him and Vesper that remains unparalleled to any of the subsequent Bond Girls, and the villain played by Mads Mikkelsen…
this is the only Bond film I actually remember seeing or even enjoying at all, the others are just shite
@@holliswilliams8426 agreed
@@holliswilliams8426 Damn, don't do Skyfall like that. Plenty of others are good too.
I love this scene...first Bond girl to challenge Bond in terms of his ego and remarks
Yes, But Tracy Bond is his one true love.
"Take the next one. There isn't enough room for me and your ego."
And this is how I know you have seen maybe 3 Bond movies in your life. Plenty of women have challenged him before. There's Pussy Galore, Anya Asimova, Holly Goodhead, Pam Bouvier, Elektra King, among others
@julialeite63 Vesper is older than Catholicism. It's Latin for evening. Nice try though.
_i love this scene_
*did the chicken come before the egg or vice versa? how do you know its not THIS that made bond get his ego and remarks? let us remind you these series are reboots hence how "M" took over. How [quantum of solace] bond got a desk girl killed, he treats women like shit because they're gonna die regardless of what he does*
the chemistry between daniel craig and eva green is just ABSURD!!!! they are adorable together.
What a scene! They have wonderful chemistry together. She took him to a place he had never been before....true love. It broke my heart to see the ending of Casino Royale.....but it is still my all time favorite 007 movie.
Yeah I've watched Casino Royale several times and after initially viewing it I cannot watch the scene where she's in the elevator and drowns. It's just too awful 😥
@@conradslemmer4117 it is. And she tells him she is sorry....I believe she loved him as much as he loved her but got tied up in bad situations.
Grew up with Roger Moore and no one could compare to him until I reluctantly sat down and watched the Daniel Craig rendition. Boy, was I blown away by the earthy, rawness of the character. Loved every moment of his movies.
You can tell just how deep Bond fell in love with Vesper by the way he smirks at the end
Vesper Lynnd changed Bond's definition of women from disposable measures to meaningful pursuits, when he had made his mind to leave the 007 status only for her, when he said 'I am all yours' in the scene later on in the movie. The right woman always brings out the hero from each man. Sadly no one wanted him to have a normal life. As without him there woundn't be any sequels too!
she changed his mind in the classiest most feminine way possible. unlike the latest bond.
And this is where Bond's armor was taken off, and the woman who would be the one constant thing on his mind through the entire series.
Wonder if she'll be referenced in No Time to Die.
@@stevensong8784 she has been referenced during the grave scene when bond burn a paper in the opening of NTTD.
@@stevensong8784 She has been referenced to in earlier Bond films with different actors playing Bond. In the last Pierce Brosnan movie, Sophie Marceau, the villain, asked him if he had ever lost anyone close to him. He remained silent. Of course he did end up bedding her, as well as the other women in the movie. Sophie deduced that he had boinked other women, but it ended up turning her on even more.
Of course he ends up killing her as she was was about to kill him. "You'll miss me."; "I never miss". Cheers! :D
He will have an indiscretion with the female enemy as well... "Oh James!"...
We can all agree that this is one of the greatest scenes in Bond cinema history. The End
I love this bond film so much.
“How’s your lamb?”
“Skewered…… one sympathizes”…..!!!!! Gold!! ❤️
No! Unnecessary lines took away from an otherwise great scene.
Undoubtedly the most beautiful charming and downright best Bond girl ever. Not even close.
"I'm the MONEY."
"Every PENNY."
I see what you did there
These two had so much chemistry, I had trouble believing that bond was truly in love with the last one in No Time To Die
Really love the writers of this version of Casino Royale. It brought a real drama to Bond series for the first time, felt like a serious film with action.
Take note, screenwriters: THIS is how you do exposition PROPERLY. We get significant information on the history and personality of 2 of the main characters without a character practically staring right at the camera reading off character history to the audience directly, or a news channel broadcasting the information, or any of the other talentless hack methods that are so commonly employed nowadays.
Instead, it is couched as not just a conversation, but a sort of competitive game between the two; which (the game) itself also, in the process, informs us even further about who they both are.
It doesn't feel forced or unnatural or draw us out of the immersion in any way. Just beautiful 💯
"Skewered. One sympathizes."
Take notes, everybody.
THAT is how you show grace in defeat.
Wouldn't say Bond was defeated.
@@spacemann1425 I'd say the statement itself was a gracious admission of defeat. If not, how would you characterize it?
@@Mystrohan I thought he just didn’t like the lamb
@@HendayAllStar Why would you sympathize with something you didn’t like?
@@Mystrohan they should sympathize with him because he had to eat bad lamb? I dont know I'm not a doctor
Now compare this to Madelyn and Bond in Spectre, and you'll realise why that relationship works nowhere near as well.
I prefere 1 million times Vesper than Madeleine 😊
True, that relationship looks like very artificial.
Spectre was disapointing, a wannabe On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
@@leftcoaster67 no, Spectre is best bond movie, but Madeleine was worst bond girl
I dig Lea Seydoux as an actress, but, man, there was so little empathy I had for her character's relationship with Bond in SPECTRE. It was so damn rushed and lacking emotion that I find it hard to believe that he would fall in love and run off with her at the end. Hopefully Time To Die will resolve that.
This pairing is perfect; the chemistry, dynamic, wit? Sexual tension is great. Both are perfect in their roles and both are enhanced by one another. One of the many reasons Casino is my absolute favourite Bond film AND one of my all time favourite films
The best Bond outing by Craig imo and absolutely magnificent direction, dialogue and acting. Sizzling chemistry between the two of ‘em.
The dialogue in this scene is addictive.
Eva Green looks so damn good in this movie 🥰😅
@I.J.A.Z 96 What about any movie? Eva Green has always been a 10/10
She's an actress that has a really classic look to her. If she was making movies back in the 20s, she would have blown Clara Bow out of the water has Hollywood's "IT" Woman (because Eva Green is no girl).
I missed Vesper badly in No Time to die. The lady in NTTD has zero chemistry with Bond, with Eva Green it was magic. Hard to believe she came only in one movie and so long ago but still stands out.
The Woman that broke Bond's heart..😢😥
Players are not born. They're made.
That's right. He told her he loved her, which meant a death sentence for her.
ALADEEN
No she started his heart (and restarted)
@@Wabajak13 these are reboots, its this incident why he treats women like crap because they die anyways
A great scene and the chemistry ⚗ between them both is brilliant."Vesper I, hope you gave your parents hell for that" a classic Bond, line."How was your steak 😋 skewered one sympathies."
Lamb not steak ! In the words of the great Alan Partridge " STOP GETTING BOND WRONG!"...
I wish if Bond's chemistry with Madeleine was at least 1% of what he had with Vesper.....
Vesper Lynd is my favourite Bond-girl and the best, I believe.....
Favorite Bond scene ever! "Skewered. One sympathizes." 😂
Always drawn back to this train scene.. i dont know what it is.. but i can just picture myself being on that train. Incredible scene and the dialogue is so witty, so well written. Their facial expressions, the lighting, every nuance of the scene is so memorable
An orphan raised by a wealthy family constantly reminded he didn't belong by his peer. This single breakdown of him was the setup for Bond and Blofeld's entire back story. Genius writing and attention to detail.
He and Vesper had a much better chemistry than him and madeleine.
Their whole interaction reminds me of a game of chess.
Love those type of conversations. So playful yet witty. Lol I'm obsessed
"I'm the money,"
"Every Penny of it"
This line is so smooth 😂👌👌👌
Love Eva Green! She’s no Bond girl, she’s the one! Who else can get Bond to parade in skimpy trunks, wear his heart on his sleeve, and almost give up his life as a spy until she broke his heart! Next to her, all Bond girls are meaningless!
this is my favorite bond film of all time i love everything about it
They both had such good chemistry. The fact that he still grieved for her in the later film really made him seem more human and believable
somewhere, in an alternate timeline, they're together and happy.
One of THE most perfect scenes EVER. In any film
The scene is crafted so beautifully. My favorite scene of the movie. That part where is says ‘every penny of it’ defines bond’s character in another level
Eva Green is so stunning,in such a mysterious way.
If I had a top 3 for "dialogue between man and woman" this would be in there. The tension is just delicious. I'd love to hear your suggestions for others I should consider. Comment, please
Watch The Lion in Winter. All of it!
The Before Trilogy. Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight. Also great dialogue in Almost Famous but not between man and woman, the "you're not cool" conversation with Lester Bangs.
And THAT is the moment I fell in love with Vesper.
The dialog in this movie is so well written and acted. This scene especially
The natural, effortless way Eva and Craig deliver this brilliantly written and directed scene - Exquisite filmmaking!
How neither the writers, nor one of these two gifted actors got an Oscar nomination (for this scene alone), will always be beyond me!
Eva Green and her performance as Vesper Lynd is almost the antithesis of Denise Richards as Christmas Jones in The World is Not Enough. Vesper is a complex person, smart, witty, mysterious woman with a tragic destiny and is a key character in the movie, and Green more than nailed it. Richards' awful rendition of an already unidimensional eye candy makes us thank Christmas only comes once a year.
Yeah but is a great day the best of the year for many lol
Richards’ performance was cringe worthy. Terrible casting!
I'd take the fun of Christmas over the bleak Vesper any day. Sorry, overrated.
@@c0smoKram3r damn
Sadly the casting for the Brosnan girls was based on who was popular in the lads wank-mags of the time.
When Eva Green & Daniel Craig paired together for this film, & seeing it for the first time - I was bowled over by how beautiful they were, how talented. To radiate such heat with acting makes this film a classic for me. 🇨🇦
Bond exposes Vespers insecurities rooted deeply in her past pain and trauma!
And that's why she takes things personally and goes on to call him a Cold hearted bastard.
@@HashiramaSenyu Exactly!!!!!
An absolutely stunning scene, and one of the best dialog between characters this side of a Tarantino film. Movie makers should learn from this that dialog really matters in a movie. One of my favorites in the Bond franchise, although nobody could beat Connery as Bond. Bravo to the writers and filmmakers of this gem!
Some of the most delicious dialogue in cinema.
i cackle with delight every time Craig says, "Skewered."
Same
The way he says; Omega… Is absolutely perfect.
Of all the Bond movies, this has to be the best scene, the best Bond and Bond girl . The dialogue is perfect!
Cried so badly at how much he loved her and she him to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Compare this scene to the scene in Spectre where Bond meets Madeline. No chemistry and not written as well as this scene. That’s why it’s hard to believe Bond would want a future with her. So the fact that they brought the character back for No Time to Die and what they did with her is rather hard to buy.
Daniel Craig is the best James Bond. Dark, brooding and you can't take your eyes off of him.
She was the only iconic Bond girl of this Bond. All the others actresses and their characters were forgettable.
Gotta admit, they spend 2 movies for Dr. Swann, but cannot compare to Vesper, who only appear in 1 movie.
The best and coolest Bond scene ever with the best Bond and Bond girl. Perfect dialogue!
Casino Royale is simply the best Bond film of all time.
Best product placement of all time. With it, everybody knew the name Omega, and that bond was not only wearing it, but it was as classy, elegant and expensive as it's biggest competitor Rolex.
They were truly made for each other and are now reunited 😭❤
She just oozes class and style and is clearly the type of woman men will die for.
2:33 is the exact moment Bond fell in love.
Vesper here is being a coquette with Bond, very cunning of her to use reverse psychology on bond to unsettle him by implying that he had no chance at all of bedding her, whilst at the same time making it known that she noticed his sexy body, albeit with a steely indifferent facial expression. Now Bond as an alpha male that he is, naturally is intrigued and naturally would want to smash that! Vesper gets what she wants, a nookie with 007, without looking needy. Both alphas win!😈😎
women are not alphas
There is always love when a man and woman start a conversation by insulting each other .
“Every penny of it” might be my favorite Bond quote.
I still think the Casino Royale was the peak of Bond movies with amazing scenes like these. I doubt it that it ever comes returns at this level.
Seeing this in the theatre all those years ago. This scene took my breath away. She is beyond beautiful here. ❤️
She's honestly my favorite bond girl to date.
I love his face at 3:23 when she said “ a cold-hearted bastart” 😂🤣
A classic Bond word duel -This women was his equal. And he loved it..!
One of the best music composition to commemorate this character in all of the film series
Vesper: Rolex?
Bond: Casio
Vesper: Beautiful
Omega
"Swatch. Mickey Mouse hands."
"Beautiful."
Ref of watche?
That dialog was HILARIOUS!...GREAT Bond &Lynd humor!
“How was your lamb?”
- “…. Skewered.”
Lol. I always loved Bond’s cynical replies.
Uploading this scene on Eva Green's birthday - we see what you're up to admins.
The start of a man's downfall: feelings
EXACTLY.
Bury them or bottle them, only way.
We live in a society
We live in a society
Same thing for Joel in the last of us .... And people say it's out of character..
Almost seems like a subtle homage to "North by Northwest." One of my favorite scenes!
