Uncharismatic James Bond

Thought I'd jump on the JB bandwagon.

=========================
Uncharismatic James Bond
=========================

1. JAMES BOND WALKS UP TO THE BAR

JAMES:
Martini. Shaken, *not* stirred.

WAITER:
I'm a f**king cocktail waiter. You think I don't know how to make a martini? Idiot. And say 'please', you ignorant moron. Manners cost nothing.

THE WAITER SLAMS HIS MARTINI DOWN ON THE BAR. SOME OF IT SLOSHES OVER THE EDGE AND RUNS OVER THE SQUASHED OLIVE AND SPLINTERED COCKTAIL STICK.

2. JAMES WALKS UP TO A BEAUTIFUL AND ELEGANT WOMAN.

JAMES:
The name's Bond. James Bond.

THE WOMAN SHRUGS AND PULLS A 'WHATEVER' FACE.

JAMES:
I-I couldn't help notice that you were looking at me by the bar.

WOMAN:
Oh, I thought your raised eyebrow was an affliction.

A MAN IN A BURBERY CAP AND TRACKSUIT BOTTOMS TUCKED INTO HIS SOCKS SLIDES IN NEXT TO WOMAN AND PUTS HIS ARM AROUND HER

MAN:
Awright darlin'!

WOMAN GIGGLES. JAMES SIGHS AND LOOKS INTO HIS PATHETIC MARTINI.

3. JAMES IS TIED TO A TABLE

JAMES:
You expect me to talk, Goldfinger?

GOLDFINGER:
No, Mr Bond (TURNS ON LASER CUTTER) I expect you to die.

JAMES:
(HYSTERICAL AND WRITHING USELESSLY) What you *doing*?!! That's gonna cut my knackers off! (SCREAMS LIKE A LITTLE GIRL, STARTS CRYING)

END

:D I think we should put all these together in a one off special.

I like it. But my initial thought on reading the sketch title was: George Lazanby?

Love the first 2 the 3rd one's great as well but ti's a diferent sketch.

But great stuff very slick and minimalist and nicely realised.

Timothy Dalton. :)

Laughing out loud

But he's too pathetic to protest - just leave it at:

JAMES, HYSTERICAL AND WRITHING USELESSLY, SCREAMS LIKE A LITTLE GIRL AND STARTS CRYING.

Laughing out loud very nice.

You should have one where he tries to do a hilarious one-liner after someone dies and can't think of one:

****

HENCHMAN IS ELECTROCUTED.

BOND: (feebly) Well... You certainly... Died. Didn't you? Huh? Yes.

HE NODS AND WALKS OFF.

****

but obviously less shit than the one I just wrote.

Laughing out loud Love the first one.

Nice one Dan, liked the raised eyebrow affliction gag.

GOLDFINGER:
No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die...Have you soiled yourself?...I didn't expect that.

I liked the whole Bond losing it thing but thought the last one wasa bit incongruous. Nice one.

It would make a terrific runner.
It's definitely a great idea.

Cheers people

Some good suggestions there. Think it might work well as one of those voiceover sketches with lots of parts, so may rework it as that.

I'm continuing it here btw https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/13207
