Just noticed that Timothy Havelock's logbook which Bond and Melina later examine also has M.Y. Triana written on the front.
She gives him the cold shoulder at the mansion and probably found him forgettable. It's a bit of a stretch, I know.
Is it meant to be obvious what a quick one is? A drink? A pee? A booty call?
Sounds plausible enough. She was obviously preoccupied with other things and probably saw him as yet another man trying to hit on her.
I always thought it was a pee.
That's true! A few months ago I stopped wearing glasses, and several people did not recognize me.
So I Googled it, and apparently since the John Barry end credits music queue was cut and replaced with the Bond theme, it didn't match up with the music. The James Bond theme was shorter, which would leave the last seconds of the movie in silence. So, in order to sync the end of the film with the end of the music, the "wipe" was made prior to release.
If I remember in the French dubbing it is explicit that he talks about having a drink.
I think its been established that she wasn't the brightest of girls.
"You betcha!"
It's never established that she doesn't recognise him. When she discovers Bond in her bedroom she refers to him as another Zorin stooge, most likely because of their encounter at the Châteaux. After Bond has dispatched Zorins 'baboons' he tells her he used a friends name to get entry to the Châteaux. If she didn't recognise him, he wouldn't have to explain this detail to her.
The line is, "allow a man to stop off for a quick one en-route."
To stop off for a quick one means to stop of for a quick drink.
Yesterday i decided to re watch The world is not enough and something stayed this time with me.
And that was the talk elektra had with Renard after she thought Bond was death and he asked her if she felt for James?
And she replied that she did feel something, didn't fall but enjoyed her night with him and latter she tells Bond i could have given you the world.
That makes me think she did have feelings for him, not enough to stop her plot but there was something bteween them even though non of them accepted once she was revealed as the main villain
So would you agree Elektra had feelings for James as well?
Maybe if she wouldn't have develped her feelings of revenge she would have fallen for James.
Also the wonderful Chemistry Pierce had with Sophie makes me think that there was something special between James and Elektra.
Thanks for answering i thought i was thinking too much but im glad im not the only one who thinks she did felt something for Bond
And fjnardo what a nice coincidence we watched that film both of us yesterday.
Anyway i still stay its my second favorite Bond film and my second favoritite with Pierce as Bond tonight im gonna re watch Goldeneye.
Pierce was very lucky in the world is not enough, he was just about to die strangled by elektra if it wasn't for Valentine who came just in time to shoot and save him
TWINE happens to be my favorite Bond film of all time
great pick.

"It was the possibility of losing you or the certainty of losing all those other agents."
Now, the first part obviously means that she risked losing him so Eve could take the chance of putting Patrice down, but she then essentially states that if Eve didn't take the shot, Bond would've absolutely lost the fight against Patrice. How does this logic make sense whatsoever? Is there something I'm missing? Because, to me, I don't get it. Plus, the latter part of her statement doesn't work, either, for if Eve did miss the shot (which she did), she would've also certainly lost all the other agents.
Also, when Bond begins his training to see if he is fit for duty, Tanner is giving him updates on what's been happening and he assumes that it's someone from her past, perhaps when she was running things in Hong Kong - which ends up being correct. I can understand they assume it's someone from the past, hence the 'THINK ON YOUR SINS' message, but what makes them surmise it's from her time in Hong Kong?
It is simply bad writing as it is the case at so many points in Skyfall.
A lot didn't make any sense that was said or done in SF, one of the main reasons I have Skyfall only at No 13 in my Bond ranking.
There is a line in the move also about M having suspicions on Silva in the scene before
she interrogates him.
