A FEW NITPICK QUESTIONS.


1.If bond was so "dead" that nobody in MI6 knew , how was he surviving in Morocco ? where did the money come from for all his clothes and booze if - during Quantum of Solace he had no cash when M froze all his accounts and had to ask his italian buddy for help?

2 Where did he get the medical care?

3. Since when do Moroccan bars show TV news channels in english?


Merry Xmas to all ( and to hell with everyone else who doesn't believe)

What medical care? He still had a bullet in his shoulder! ;-/

Was'nt he winning his money doing that trick with the scary spider?

reply

It was a scorpion.

reply

There were no scenes set in Morocco. He was charming the bar owner lady in order to have a place to stay, and he was winning money with those scorpion challenge games. Yes, outside US and UK, TV-sets can still receive CNN, BBC News and other English-language channels.

They never said the name of the country Bond recuperated in, but I personally think it was Morocco.

reply

If during "TQoS" M froze his accounts and he found it inconvenient, once he was forgiven he probably moved money into an illegal offshore account that she couldn't touch.

At least, thats what I'd do.

reply

If he needed money, he should have hung onto that case full of 4 million euros.

reply

Or sold that 1960 Aston-Martin he kept in storage.

1. Others have pointed out he was making money by risking his life with the scorpion. I'm going to speculate that there are a thousand other ways Bond could make money with his skillset, at least enough to get whatever he wanted on a day-to-day basis. It's possible or even likely he has hidden assets, too.

2. Doctors and healthcare professionals exist everywhere. Bond is probably familiar with rudimentary healing and physiotherapy to keep himself in shape and not-dying. He could stop an infection, I would think. The bullet fragments were still in his shoulder, so I'm thinking he stitched himself up, checked himself for awhile to see if an infection was setting in and when it didn't, stopped caring.

3. Dunno. Could've had a satellite linked to English TV. If it's a bar that tourists frequent, it might be set up to cater to them. It also could be that Bond was tired of watching TV in other languages and got the guy an illegal cable hookup or something.
