BOND: We had a run-in, he and I. He knew about us, he knew about my shoulder, he knew exactly where to hurt me...

ELEKTRA: Are you saying... Renard is the man who's trying to kill me? BOND: You can drop the act, it's over.

ELEKTRA: I don't know what you're talking about!

BOND: I think you do… At MI-6 we call it Stockholm Syndrome. It's common in kidnappings. A young impressionable victim. Sheltered, sexually inexperienced. A powerful kidnapper skilled in torture, in manipulation. Something snaps in the victim's mind. The captive falls in love with her captor.

ELEKTRA: How dare you! How dare you! That animal!? That monster!? He disgusts me! You disgust me! So he knew where to hurt you, is that it? You had a sling on your arm at the funeral! I didn't have to sleep with you to find that out.

BOND: He used your exact words.

ELEKTRA: You knew. You knew all the time, that he was out there, that he was coming for me, and you lied. You used me, you used me as bait. You made love to me what, to pass the time as you waited for him to strike?
