A line from Le Chiffre

You know, I never understood all these elaborate tortures. It's the simplest thing to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure. And of course, it's not only the immediate agony, but the knowledge that if you do not yield soon enough, there will be little left to identify you as a man. The only question remains: will you yield, in time?

Steven Obanno

Do you believe in God, Mr. Le Chiffre?

Le Chiffre

No. I believe in a reasonable rate of return.

[A bartender comes to the poker table to take drink orders.]

Dry martini.

Bartender

Oui, monsieur.

Wait. Three measures of Gordon's gin, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it over ice and add a thin slice of lemon peel.

Bartender

Yes, sir.

Tomelli

You know, I'll have one of those.

Infante

So will I.

Bartender

Yes, sir.

Felix Leiter

My friend, bring me one as well. Keep the fruit.

Le Chiffre
[annoyed]

That's it? Hmm? Anyone want to play poker now?

Leiter

Someone's in a hurry.

Le Chiffre

You've changed your shirt, Mr. Bond. I hope our little game isn't causing you to perspire.

A little. But I won't consider myself to be really in trouble until I start weeping blood.

Le Chiffre
[Bond has been stripped naked, tied to a bottomless chair, and tortured with repeated lashes to the testicles from Le Chiffre's knotted rope in order to force him to reveal the password for the Swiss bank account.]

Miss Lynd will give me the account number, if she hasn't already, so all I need from you is the password.
[Bond glares icily at Le Chiffre.] [sternly] The password, please.

[defiantly]

I've got a little itch…down there. Would you mind?

[Le Chiffre whips Bond's testicles.] [screams in agony]

No! No! No! No…TO THE RIGHT, TO THE RIGHT, TO THE RIGHT!

Le Chiffre

You are a funny man, Mr. Bond. [lashes him again]

[screams in pain]

Yes, yes, yes! [starts laughing maniacally] Now the whole world's gonna know that you died scratching my balls!

Le Chiffre

I died? I died?

Yes, because no matter what you do, I'm not going to give you the password, which means your clients are going to hunt you down and cut you into little pieces of meat while you're still breathing! Because if you kill me, there'll be nowhere left to hide.

Le Chiffre

Oh, but you are SO WRONG! Because even after I slaughter you and your little girlfriend, your people would still welcome me with open arms! Because they need what I know.

[resigned]

The big picture.

Le Chiffre
[From the other room, Vesper screams - Bond and Le Chiffre notice it]

Yes. Now give me the password, and I will at least let her live. [slaps him on the cheek] Come on, Bond. Do it soon enough and she might even be in one piece.

Le Chiffre
[Bond starts laughing]

You're really not going to tell me, are you?

No.

Le Chiffre
[Le Chiffre knocks Bond on his back and brandishes a knife]

Then…I think I'll feed you what you seem not to value.

Le Chiffre
[Suddenly, two gunshots are heard and Mr. White charges into the room, pointing a gun at Le Chiffre]

I'll get the money. Tell them I'll get the money.

Mr. White

Money isn't as valuable to our organization as knowing who to trust. [Mr. White shoots Le Chiffre dead]

Obanno

So how do I trust this man that I've never met with my money?

Le Chiffre

You asked for the introduction. That's all my organization will guarantee. I suppose our friend Mr. White will have told you... that I have provided reliable banking services... for many other freedom fighters over the years.
