It’s not coming off.” In a symbolic act of cleansing, of absolution, he takes her hand, places her fingers in his mouth and sucks them clean. Clinging to his arm, clearly in distress, Vesper evokes Lady Macbeth. Without saying a word he walks over and sits beside her, the water from the showerhead soaking through his tuxedo. He pushes open the bathroom door to reveal Vesper, fully clothed, sitting and shivering under the shower. He notices a broken wine glass on the table, and hears the shower running. Upon opening the door he is immediately uneasy. At the next break – which, if consistent with the last, is four hours later – he returns to his suite. He conceals the bodies, cleans himself up and returns to the card game. In one of the film’s many expertly executed action scenes Bond manages to dispatch with both men after a multi-story struggle. Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) is comforted by James Bond (Daniel Craig)ĭuring a break in the high stakes poker game at the Casino Royale, James Bond and his companion Vesper Lynd are attacked in the stairwell by a pair of African terrorists/freedom fighters, one brandishing a machete.
