Thank-you GBT for turning this cliche on its ear. Revealing the “bimbo” to be a successful business woman seems to have changed Mark’s opinion of her and made your readers think a bit.
It’s about power more than money. Money is just how you keep score. If I had “only” a couple mill I could retire and be content. These people that push and drive and struggle to get more and more— it’s to be above the next guy. The same type that is behind you in traffic, makes an insane pass, and ends up in front of you. Sure, they only gained 20 feet, but they WON!
Prepare for heresy. I like Connery in just about anything, but his Bond embodied all the attributes that made people describe 60’s society as “plastic.” His films were feature length Marlboro commercials. Moore captured the tongue in cheek spirit of the franchise better.
But the worst Bond film ever? Octopussy. Bond (Moore) dresses up in BOTH a clown outfit AND a gorilla suit. The plot is to blackmail NATO into disarming by setting off a nuke on a military base in the middle of a circus performance. Because nobody will EVER think it was suspicious having a nuke go off miles from the actual storage site.

Let’s rephrase that: “This is the woman I want to bury me.”

Why would a smart independent woman like her want an old cheating idiot like him?

Why would you want a man who cheats on his wife? His next “trophy” will probably attend their wedding.
