At a picnic with colleagues, at a party by a swimming pool, in an ice-cream parlour, and on a cruise ship, Bond consistently shows courage, willpower, and determination to save not only himself but also others around him. Finally, at a laughter club, he ends with his iconic winning line: “My name is Bond, James Bond.”
