I think the James Bond Series is messed up enough without Lucas help!
Too true. Oh, God, imagine the romantic dialogue...
Oh dear God, I can see it now ...
INT James Bond walks into the offices of Universal Exports; the front for MI6. Miss Moneypenny sits behind her desk, behind her a large window, out of which can be seen CG versions of Big Ben, the London Eye, Marble Arch, the Millennium Dome, the Thames Barrier, an Underground station, and No. 10 Downing Street, despite the fact that none of these can ever be seen all at once.
Walking past the window are many typical British types (CG'd); black suits and bowler hats, Union Flag T-shirts, and pearly king and queen garb - just like in real life. BOND walks over to a hat stand (CG) and hangs his jacket on it.
BOND (moving to sit on the edge of the desk)
Good morning, Moneypenny
MONEYPENNY
Ah, James. Back from your latest mission, I see?
BOND
Yes. Maybe my next mission can be to rescue your heart.
MONEYPENNY
Ah, but I thought you liked your missions to be a little hard?
BOND
No. I don't like hard. It's too ... hard. Too, erm, solid. I like things that are soft. Like you. Soft things are good. They feel nicer to touch than things that are hard. Things that are ... erm, not soft.
MONEYPENNY (knowingly)
But sometimes hard can be good, James
BOND
Oh, yes, I like hard too. If you like hard, then I'll like hard. Hard can be nicer than soft. Sometimes. Not always. Soft is nice, but hard is nice too ... it's nice when you like it, I like it as well. [pause] Will you marry me?
MONEYPENNY
[thinks for a moment] Of course I will, James ... I've always loved misogynistic, murdering, brutal, creepy stalker weirdo freaks like you! In fact, if you slaughter me a few women and children from whatever nationality has been designated as Evil Race of the Month, I'll be super in love with you then!
BOND exits, itching to commit mass genocide just to get at Moneypenny's "not hard" bits ...
