A “recovering” James Bond endearingly says this friendly quote after a session with his rehab aide Patricia Fearing. Although a playful, funny quip, Bond shows his nonchalance (and the 1960s misogyny he’s sometimes known for) after coaxing Fearing for a romp after her incompetence leaving 007 trapped and unaccompanied in the stretching rack machine.

I’m not sure you could dream of a more perfect way to introduce the world to secret agent James Bond, 007. From the start, an indirect request at a club entrance for James Bond, and a casual discreet walk through the casino until we end up in a seemingly high intensity baccarat game. The sexual tension is obvious and the facial expressions are memorable. We owe Trench, Sylvia Trench a debt of gratitude for teaching Bond, James Bond how to properly introduce himself in future movies. It truly is a scene all other James Bond movies would be well advised to replicate.
