Although I loathe most of Bibi’s screen time in For Your Eyes Only, her farewell to Bond oddly lands with genuine charm. It carries a formal sincerity that feels imported from an earlier Bond era, which makes it all the more surprising coming from such a juvenile character. It’s the sort of wistful sign-off that would’ve sounded perfectly at home coming from Domino Derval or Tracy Draco in the 1960s.
It’s especially remarkable coming from Bibi, considering how grating she is for the rest of the movie. Every scene with her feels like the movie trips over itself and reduces Bond to an exhausted sitcom babysitter.
