Line 16:
* Bond walks into the embassy and kidnaps the bomber at gunpoint. Couldn't he have just explained to the diplomat he was British intelligence, why he was there and escorted the bomber out?
** Embassies don't work that way. In the most amicable case, it'd take hours, days, possibly weeks of red tape because the Embassy is treated as property of the other country, and if it's a non-extradition country, then Bond is SOL entirely. In the least amicable case, the diplomat won't even listen to Bond and have the bomber shipped back home never to be seen again.
*** Actually, I can see two even less amicable cases below that one. One is that the bomber claims Bond assaulted him, the diplomat has Bond arrested for attacking one of their citizens and has him tried as a terrorist. (Or at the very least, turns him over to the host country's law enforcement, tying him up in red tape even worse than just diplomatic red tape.) Worst case scenario, corrupt embassy official shoots Bond in the head, takes payoff from the bomber, says "He was never here and if he was we'll claim he tried to start a war, whatcha gonna do about it?"
* How does [[MI 6]] even know that Bond is the best baccarat/Texas hold'em player in the service? do they have try outs? Is that part of their training?
** I imagine they just do it for fun, and [[MI 6]] asked around when gambling became part of the mission.
