In the first draft she said: “A man takes a plane in order to fly over the Atlantic, then takes a cab and will be in New York City for a while before he again takes another plane…”
And Mr.Big answered: “Solitaire, have you lost your powers?”

That’s something that can be used as evidence against Samedi and Solitaire having powers. On the surface they appear to be something but underneath they’re something else entirely. Under normal circumstances I’d be completely on the side of supernaturalism in Bond being absurd, especially because I don’t believe in it myself. But LALD seems to push it harder than the suspensions of disbelief.

This makes me think it would’ve been fun to write Solitaire like Christopher Walken’s SNL character who can only relate unhelpful visions of entirely trivial things:
“A man comes. He travels by air. The food choices on his flight are limited. He decides on the chicken. It is overly seasoned. He does not enjoy it.”

Max Shreck (Batman Returns): “One can never have too much power. If my life has a meaning, that’s the meaning.”
Max Zorin (AVTAK): “More! More POWah!”
Update from Solitaire: “The man has arrived in New Orleans. He shops for neckties. He thinks one is a bit frantic, but accepts the other three. The cards have spoken.”

A man comes… he takes a plane…Halfway through he panics completely…he forgot his safari suit! Oh! No! What to do now? …He has arrived…he immediately takes the plane back home. …Races home in his car… packs his safari suit… returns to the airport… takes the plane back here…Brings destruction in his safari suit (at the fashion police).

“The man is a British agent. He comes because another has gone missing. He will enjoy some success, but critics will continue to compare him unfavorably to his predecessor.”
We need an all cowbell-and-slide whistle score for a Bond film. It would still be better than GE’s.
