    Not a bad guess but not the correct one either.

    Sorry, it's not him. Here are today's clues.

    1) Just one look, that's all it took.
    2) What's in a name?
    3) Boris would approve of my pick up ability.
    4) What do sisters share?
    5) I have the reflexes of Captain America.
    6) Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd would not take kindly to my beginnings.
    7) That which was heard but not seen was detrimental to my well-being.
    8) I didn't take Bond's advice.
    9) Good things come to those who wait.
    10) Felix's remark about job performance could also be applicable to me.

    11) We're not in space but something seems familiar.
    12) I didn't realize that resurrection was Bond's hobby.
    13) Behold the finality of a very tall young woman.
    14) We've been expecting you, Mr. Bond.
    15) That palindrome came as a bombshell to all.
    16) Skiing, anyone?
    17) Unfortunately, I missed out on the fireworks.
    18) I didn't come here to gamble.
    19) Both sexes felt I went a little overboard in the touchy-feely department.
    20) Are you sitting down? Let me tell you about that old Klingon proverb.

    21) You just can't please everyone.
    22) My gaze was quite intense during the Big Event.
    23) If I were a banker, I'd probably have the same specialty as Bond.
    24) Would you mind waiting? I've wrestled with the idea.
    25) Smile, you're on candid camera!
    26) As far as I'm concerned, Bond has attained the state of nothingness.
    27) If looks could kill, they probably will.
    28) I'm not the killer but the death of a friend can be traced back to me.
    29) Two is company, three's a crowd.
    30) Perhaps now we can play our golden harps together?

    31) It was mostly my pride that was injured before the fall.
    32) An insufficient offer was made.
    33) I gave our plans a slight nod of approval.
    34) In conclusion, you could say that I really walked right into that one.
    35) Look closely at the boss and you can see that I had a hand in this.
    36) It turns out that time wasn't on our side after all.

    I think you just might have it.

    Well, it's all over folks. @Tokoloshe had to go and spoil all my fun! Congratulations are in order! You kept guessing characters from TWINE early on so I thought you were going to figure it out eventually.
    @Birdleson, you were on the right track with M.

    1) Just one look, that's all it took.
    Elektra and Gabor exchange a knowing glance just before they turn on M.

    2) What's in a name?
    How about a family motto? Gabor was present when Bond said the name of the film.

    3) Boris would approve of my pick up ability.
    He picks up the chair/stool that M had knocked over.

    4) What do sisters share?

    How about a last name? Remember the famous Gabor sisters? Magda, Zsa Zsa and Eva.

    5) I have the reflexes of Captain America.

    Elektra flips Captain Nikolai's hat to him and he quickly snatches it. Also, he appears to be physically fit.

    6) Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd would not take kindly to my beginnings.
    He first appears in a helicopter. Wint and Kidd blew up the chopper in DAF. If God had wanted man to fly...
    Also, the word beginnings was a nod to ancestry/family motto/TWINE

    7) That which was heard but not seen was detrimental to my well-being.

    Elektra hears a noise and goes to investigate. We see Bond standing over Gabor, who is knocked out cold.

    8) I didn't take Bond's advice.

    He advised Elektra to stay put but she defiantly entered the casino with Gabor.

    9) Good things come to those who wait.
    This was mainly referring to M being locked up. Gabor does a lot of standing around and waiting as well though.

    10) Felix's remark about job performance could also be applicable to me.

    He was laying down on the job after Bond knocked him out!

    11) We're not in space but something seems familiar.
    Baku, anyone? This was also the name of a planet and a race from Star Trek Insurrection a year earlier. Although it was spelled Ba'ku.

    12) I didn't realize that resurrection was Bond's hobby.
    He thought Bond had died in the pipeline explosion.

    13) Behold the finality of a very tall young woman.
    Gabor dies at the Maiden's Tower.

    14) We've been expecting you, Mr. Bond.

    After the briefcase bomb, Bond and Dr. Jones run right into Gabor and the other goons.

    15) That palindrome came as a bombshell to all.
    His famous line, "The bomb was a dud."

    16) Skiing, anyone?
    We see him with skis on his shoulder even though he doesn't participate in any skiing activities the following scene.

    17) Unfortunately, I missed out on the fireworks.

    Being dead will do that to you. Bond and Dr. Jones watch fireworks at the end of the film.

    18) I didn't come here to gamble.
    At Zukovsky's casino.

    19) Both sexes felt I went a little overboard in the touchy-feely department.
    He puts his hands on M and Bond when they are taken prisoner.

    20) Are you sitting down? Let me tell you about that old Klingon proverb.

    He gets his revenge on Bond when he puts him in the torture chair.

    21) You just can't please everyone.
    Elektra pleased the locals but pissed off the workers when she agreed to change the pipeline route.

    22) My gaze was quite intense during the Big Event.
    Gabor is intently watching the screen when Bond and Dr. Jones are in the pipeline.

    23) If I were a banker, I'd probably have the same specialty as Bond.

    Hostile takeovers, of course.

    24) Would you mind waiting? I've wrestled with the idea.

    Gabor does a lot of standing around and waiting. John Seru was/is a professional wrestler.

    25) Smile, you're on candid camera!
    When they enter the casino. Zukovsky points them out to Bond.

    26) As far as I'm concerned, Bond has attained the state of nothingness.
    After the pipeline explosion, M asks him about Bond's status. "Nothing" was his reply.

    27) If looks could kill, they probably will.

    He gives Bond a good deal of dirty looks. Bond ends up killing him.

    28) I'm not the killer but the death of a friend can be traced back to me.

    Gabor puts the gun and hat on the table, which Elektra uses to kill Zukovsky.

    29) Two is company, three's a crowd.

    At the casino, Elektra explains that she gave Davidov the night off. So it's only her and Gabor. It could also explain Gabor's feelings when Bond is around them.

    30) Perhaps now we can play our golden harps together?

    Bullion, played by Goldie, and Gabor both die at the Maiden's Tower.

    31) It was mostly my pride that was injured before the fall.
    When Bond knocks him out.

    32) An insufficient offer was made.

    Again, the title of the film.
    Elektra - I could have given you the world.
    Bond - The world is not enough.

    33) I gave our plans a slight nod of approval.
    He nods at M and Bond when they enter the room before the double cross.

    34) In conclusion, you could say that I really walked right into that one.

    He walked right into Bond's gunfire when he entered the room. I always felt it was a disappointing ending for him.

    35) Look closely at the boss and you can see that I had a hand in this.
    After M is captured, we can see Gabor's hand on her shoulder.

    36) It turns out that time wasn't on our side after all.

    M uses the clock to activate her homing signal.


    I still had more clues to share, believe it or not! They were a little on the easy side so I was waiting until we got into the 40's. It wasn't meant to be. Oh well.
    Once more, I pass the baton over to you, @Tokoloshe.
    Congratulations, again . You're the best. At least I made you earn it this time! ;)

    Sorry folks, I've had a hectic week and this slipped my mind. Off we go with another named and speaking Eon character:

    1. Two other people here speak my language.

    2. Bond is not the one complaining about me.

    I didn't give much away first time, so here's a couple more clues:

    1. Two other people here speak my language.

    2. Bond is not the one complaining about me.

    3. I discover that Bond has the gadget and he knows how to use it.

    4. I'm just trying to get away from it all... by not being openly gay, perhaps?

    @Birdleson, you are correct! That naughty little minx Miss Caruso from LALD is correct :)

    1. Two other people here speak my language.

    Bond and Moneypenny ("Ciao, bello!")

    2. Bond is not the one complaining about me.

    The Italians have complained that one of their agents is missing.

    3. I discover that Bond has the gadget and he knows how to use it.

    The magnetised watch.

    4. I'm just trying to get away from it all... by not being openly gay, perhaps?

    She's in the closet!

    5. A Bond series regular helps to keep my secret.

    Moneypenny prevents M from looking for his coat.

    6. My relationship status is suddenly questionable.

    Rog quips "Not married by any chance, are you?" as the doorbell rings.


    Over to you, Mr B.
