Timothy Dalton’s portrayal of James Bond is often praised for its dark intensity, but lines like this from The Living Daylights highlight his effortless smoothness. Immediately after a harrowing escape from a crashing military aircraft, Bond casually pivots to logistics and charm. In the middle of nowhere in Pakistan? No problem, since his cultured and global experience lends him to know a “great restaurant in Karachi.” This, despite the horror of a near-miss plane explosion, Bond is already focused on his next move. For Kara Milovy, she must feel like putty in Bond’s hands after truly getting swept off her feet. What a whirlwind.
