I Never Told You My Name: Difference between revisions

* In ''The Rich Man's Wife'', Josie (the wife in question) is being terrorized by her husband's killer, who is demanding an exorbitant sum of money from her and threatening to tell the police that she hired him to kill her husband (she didn't). She goes running to her ex-lover Jake, pleading for his help. He calms her down, assuring her that "Cole won't hurt you." She's grateful, until she suddenly realizes that she never told him the man's name -''Jake'' hired the man to kill her husband so that Josie would come back to him.

* Possibly subverted in ''[[Thunderball]]'' when the Bond girl Domino demands to know how Bond knew that was her name (or rather, her nickname); he says it on the bracelet on her ankle. The "possible" part is that its not clear he hasn't read up on her already, since the reason he is in the Bahamas is following a lead about her recently murdered brother, though it didn't lead to her directly.

'''Bond''': (as she walks away) Wait till you get to my teeth. }}
