* IgnoreTheFanservice: She tries to get with James. While he would ordinarily welcome this, irony would have it that he's simply not interested because of the target he has on his back. James' priority is to find Scaramanga and Saida just so happens to carry the clue in her belly button. He is forced to play along before they're interrupted by a couple of crooks who appear to have recognized Bond.
