23	!!!'''Played by:''' Timothy Moxon (on-set actor), Robert Rietty (voice)
24
25	He is the first British spy to appear on screen in the franchise. He lives in Jamaica, has a membership in the Queen's Club and investigates Dr. No's activities around Crab Key island. He is shot down (along with his secretary) by the Three Blind Mice at the beginning of the movie and the novel, and all of his files about Dr. No are stolen. His disappearance prompts the [=MI6=] to send James Bond to Jamaica.
26	----
27	* AbledInTheAdaptation: He has an eyepatch in the books.
28	* AdaptedOut: The books being adapted out of order means that he doesn't appear in ''Film/LiveAndLetDie''.
29	* CardGames: He played cards with fellow members of the Queen's Club just before his assassination.
30	* EyepatchOfPower: He's got one eye in the book.
31	* HeKnowsTooMuch: He and his secretary are killed by the Three Blind Mice due to the information they gathered about Dr. No's activities on the isle of Crab Key.
32	* HeroOfAnotherStory: Strangways was investigating Dr. No's activities in Crab Key island prior to his assassination.
33	* PlotTriggeringDeath: His murder kicks the plot (not to mention the film series) into motion.
34	* WeHardlyKnewYe: In the film, he's killed after ''one minute'' of screen time, give or take. He holds the dubious distinction of being the first person to die on screen in the ''James Bond'' film franchise. Ironically, in the [[Literature/DrNo book]], he was a supporting character in ''Literature/LiveAndLetDie'', so he's BackForTheDead in this one instead.

44
45	The secretary to John Strangways, operating the British Secret Service station in Jamaica. Unaware that Strangways has been murdered, she proceeds to make contact with London for their scheduled transmission. Hearing a noise, she proceeds to investigate, only to find Strangways' killers, the Three Blind Mice, who kill her. Afterwards, they carefully remove all the Service's files relating to Crab Key and Dr. No.
46	----
47	* AllThereInTheManual: Named Mary Trueblood in the novel, she goes unnamed in the film, and the only reference to her name is that she's credited in the film as "Mary" (''only'' "Mary").
48	* HeKnowsTooMuch: She and Strangways are killed by the Three Blind Mice due to their information about Dr. No's activities in Crab Key island.
49	* WeHardlyKnewYe: She probably has less screen time that even Strangways. She also holds the dubious distinction of being the first woman to die on screen in the franchise.

63	-->-- ''Literature/DrNo''
64
65	The first main Bond Girl in the film series. Her iconic first appearance has her [[SexySurfacingShot coming out of the ocean]] for beachcombing in Crab Key. She then accompanies Bond and Quarrel during their exploration on the island and Dr. No's facility.
66	----
67	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the book she's also pretty, but her nose is broken (she even sells her shells to pay for the operation).
68	* AdaptationalModesty: In the novel, she's wearing only a diving mask and her knife belt when she emerges from the ocean. In the film, she wears a white bikini that has become associated with her character and the idea of the Bond girl as a symbol of glamour, sophistication, sex appeal, and danger.
69	* AdaptationalWimp: In the novel, she is a lot more savvy and capable, managing to [[DamselOutOfDistress rescue herself]].
70	* AdaptationNameChange: Her full name in the novel is Honeychile Ryder.
71	* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: As Crab Key is about to explode, Bond makes sure to ask where Honey is kept to bring her along.
72	* BabiesEverAfter: In later novels, Bond divulges that she moved to Philadelphia, where she worked as an actress. She married a doctor by the name of Wilder and had two children with him.
73	* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Even hiding in swamps or kept captive she remains tidy.
74	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her father was murdered by Dr. No. After that, their landlord let her stay on for a while without paying. Then one night he raped her.
75	* DamselInDistress: By the movie's end. And since Bond goes by AlwaysSaveTheGirl, why would a CollapsingLair stop him?
76	* FriendToAllLivingThings: She expresses great value for life, animals, and humans.
77	* GirlOfTheWeek: The main Bond Girl for this film, and the first of many Bond Girls with whom Bond ends up with by the end of a film...and also the first of many that do not return in the next film, without a single quote about her fate.
78	* HighClassCallGirl: In the book, she tells Bond she plans to become one of these, so she can get the money for her operation. Bond, however, points out why it's a bad idea.
79	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: PlayedWith in the book. She casually mentions her ambition to work in New York as an escort girl, and is unaware that society would find this idea objectionable.
80	* TheLoad: Oddly enough, she isn't widely hated among fans, partly because she was the first main Bond Girl, but she really is the single most superfluous Bond girl in the entire film series—yet is consistently ranked as the best, a position clearly earned solely because she's the first and still very attractive. The film makers were usually pretty good in making the Bond girls in the series of at least some nominal importance to the plot of each film (even if, in the case of [[Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun Mary Goodnight]], their only importance is as TheMillstone), but Honey is of no importance whatsoever. She shows up late in the film, tags along, and does nothing of any consequence. The film takes the time to give her the same backstory from the novel (Dr. No killed her father, she received all her education by reading the whole encyclopedia, she murdered her rapist, etc.) but again, none of that has any impact on the rest of the film. She exists solely to be the DamselInDistress (and even that comes across as an afterthought) and for {{Fanservice}}. The latter, Creator/UrsulaAndress does very, very well, which is the third reason she isn't widely hated.
81	** Interestingly, the novel has her as much less of a Load-she escapes from Dr. No's planned DeathTrap without Bond's help, gives Bond helpful tips so he doesn't kill himself by accident on Crab Key (for example, drinking the island water could give you fever) and acts as a truly fantastic spotter as Bond drives the Dragon tank to safety.
82	* MotherNatureFatherScience: A skilled survivalist and incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife, especially in the novel. Contrast with nuclear physicist Dr. No's rocket age schemes and damage to the environment.
83	* MsFanservice: One of the best-known examples in the franchise's history thanks to her SexySurfacingShot. She's arguably even more so in the book, being fully naked when she meets Bond for the first time.
84	* NakedFirstImpression: When Bond first sees her in the book, she's completely naked except for her knife belt and scuba mask.
85	* RapeAsBackstory: After her father was made to disappear by Dr. No, their landlord let her stay on for a while without paying. Then one night he raped her. She avenged herself by putting a female black widow spider in his bed, which fatally bit him.
86	* SameLanguageDub: Given Andress had a thick accent, she was dubbed over. It's a NonSingingVoice as well, as Monty Norman's wife sung for her.
87	* SexyFlaw: Bond sees her broken nose as this, and secretly hopes that she won't get surgery to fix it as she plans to.
88	* SexSlave: when Bond insults Dr No at the dinner table he punishes him with a beating and by giving Honey to the guards to "amuse" themselves.
89	* {{Troll}}: Has shades of this in the book, interestingly enough. She hits on Bond repeatedly in Dr. No's lair, after Bond has established that he's reluctant to seduce her.

98	A Cayman Islander who was employed by John Strangways to secretly go to Crab Key to collect rock samples. He also worked with Felix Leiter before Bond's arrival, and goes to explore Crab Key with Bond.
99	----
100	* BackForTheDead: In the book, Quarrel and Bond have known each other since ''Literature/LiveAndLetDie'' and this is their second mission together.
101	* BlackDudeDiesFirst: The first and only ally of Bond to die in the movie.
102	* DroppedABridgeOnHim: His death via the "Dragon tank" is rather abrupt.

119	-->-- ''Literature/DrNo'' [[note]]Novel only[[/note]]
120
121	The first villain in the film series. He is a half-German/half-Chinese scientific genius working for the [[NebulousEvilOrganization villainous SPECTRE organization]] (SMERSH in [[Literature/DrNo the novel]]). He is using his private nuclear laboratory to knock American rockets out of the sky in the film and sabotage American missile launches in the novel.
122	----
123	* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the novel, his hands were cut off by the Tongs, who tortured him to find their missing money. The film implies that he lost them due to his work with radiation.
124	* AdaptationalDyeJob: BaldOfEvil in the novel, short black hair in the film.
125	* AdaptationalJobChange:
126	** In the novel, he works for SMERSH. In the film, he works for SPECTRE. He has just as much disdain for the East and the West, as they both rejected his services.
127	** In the novel, he was a medical doctor. In the film, he's a nuclear physicist.
128	** In the novel, he dealt in bird guano as his cover story. In the film, he runs a bauxite mine.
129	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He is ''far'' less sadistic and more [[AffablyEvil charming]], than his novel counterpart.
130	* AffablyEvil: He treats James Bond to dinner and shows him around his evil lair!
131	* AntagonistTitle: His name gives the film (and the novel) its title.
132	* ArtificialLimbs:
133	** Having lost his real hands to radiation damage, he's replaced them with metal prosthetics, which are very strong, but lack dexterity. [[spoiler: Their lack of grip costs him his life.]]
134	** In the novel, [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs the Tongs]] chopped his hands off after he embezzled a million dollars worth of gold when he was their treasurer. In the film he still robbed them but managed to get away with it, and he implies that his hands were an accident during his research.
135	* AwesomeButImpractical: His metal hands look intimidating and allow him to crush metal and deliver exceptionally powerful blows but their lack of grip make climbing impossible and lead to his death.
136	* BaldOfEvil: His physical appearance in the book.
137	* BigBad: The main villain of the film, with his backing organization being behind the scenes.
138	* BondVillainStupidity: Mostly averted. Bond is completely in Doctor No's power for most of the movie. Still, he's the first example in the film series of "WhyDontYouJustShootHim".
139	* CharacterTics: He walks with his hands behind his back. {{Justified}}, as he doesn't want to use his artificial hands unless he has to.
140	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: In the film, he boils in the cooling pool of his nuclear reactor.
141	* CutLexLuthorACheck: Bond argues he could have used his genius for good in the West. He thinks otherwise.
142	-->'''Bond:''' But why become criminal? I'm sure the West would welcome a scientist of your... [[MadScientist caliber.]]\
143	'''Dr. No:''' The Americans are fools. I offered my services; they refused. So did the East. Now they can both pay... for their mistake.
144	* DiabolicalMastermind: Plans to ruin the American spacecraft/missile launch, no matter what.
145	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the novel, Bond uses a crane to bury him under a mountain of guano where he is crushed/suffocated. In the film, Bond knocks him into the boiling water of his reactor pool, and his metal hands make it impossible for him to get a grip on the wet metal of the gantry and he slides beneath the water.
146	* DirtyCommunist: In the novel only, where he expresses interest in working for Communist China. In the movie he expresses his disgust with both the East and the West, dismissing them as both equally as stupid as the other; although, given the number of Chinese running around his base and the mercenary nature of SPECTRE, it's possible that Communist China are the ultimate backers of his evil scheme.
147	* TheDreaded: One assassin he sends commits suicide rather than give any information to Bond, a photographer would rather have her arm broken than admit who she is working for, and Dent is clearly terrified of him. Basically, everyone who works for No is scared to death of crossing or failing him.
148	* ElaborateUndergroundBase: He has an elaborate nuclear facility as shown when he and Bond dine in a glass-windowed room below the waterline and thus presumably underground as well.
149	* EnigmaticMinion: In the film, he is a member of SPECTRE.
150	* EpicFail: In the novel, his deathtrap for Honey involves him stringing her up in the way of a seemingly-endless mass of crabs which will very slowly pinch her to death. Except that Honey knows that this particular breed of crab isn't hostile and won't attack unless provoked, so she simply holds still until the crabs disperse. She's not even frightened by them and grows fond of their company as she waits. Once they're gone, she tugs the poles she's tied to out of their cracks and just walks away.
151	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He explains his motive to join SPECTRE, claiming that it's led by geniuses, rudely dismissing 007 as a "stupid policeman", only for Bond to correct him that SPECTRE is actually led by "criminal brains".
152	* EvilCripple: His hands can break solid rock, but they aren't very dexterous, [[spoiler: resulting in his death.]]
153	* EvilGenius: With a truly ambitious scheme. In the film, it's to disrupt the Project Mercury launch with an atomic-powered radio beam. In the book, it's to not only disrupt missile launches so he can sell the remains to Soviet Russia, but also to start a jamming war until he can hijack the missiles well enough that they drop on Miami and Kingston.
154	* EvilIsPetty:
155	** In the book, he torched an entire bird sanctuary and had its staff brutally murdered ''[[KickTheDog simply]] [[DisproportionateRetribution because]]'' it was a bit too close to his base.
156	** He sabotages American space rockets because they rejected his scientific services.
157	* EvilSoundsDeep: He has a chillingly deep voice, especially in his first off screen scene with Dent.
158	* {{Expy}}: He was modelled on Literature/FuManchu.
159	* FatalFlaw: His MadScientist tendencies, and the fact that he dismisses 007 as a "stupid policeman". As Bond sums it up:
160	-->World domination. The same old dream. Our asylums are full of people who think they are Napoleon. Or God.
161	* FreudianExcuse: It's implied the reaction to his mixed heritage led to his FaceHeelTurn.
162	** The book version shows that he adopted the name Julius No as a symbol of how his father abandoned him as a child.
163	* FromNobodyToNightmare: He was "the unwanted son of a German missionary and a Chinese girl from a good family" and is now a feared supervillain.
164	* AGlassInTheHand: He crushes a golden Buddha statue with his metal hand to intimidate Bond.
165	* HandicappedBadass: Deconstructed. Besides being strong enough to crush a metal figurine, his mechanical hands also give him one hell of a punch, as seen in his short fight with Bond at the end of the film. Too bad for him their lack of manual dexterity puts him at a disadvantage while grappling and makes it impossible for him to climb out of a pool of superheated water.
166	* HazmatSuit: His radiation suit.
167	* HeartInTheWrongPlace: In the book, he tells Bond how he survived reprisal from the Tong after embezzling funds - after hours of prison torture, they chopped off his hands and shot him through the heart, [[OrganDodge or thought they did]]. As it turned out, he was a rare case with his heart on the right side of his body.
168	* TheHeavy: The is the main antagonist of both the book and the film. However he works for SMERSH in the book, and SPECTRE in the film.
169	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His metal hands do not have enough grip to allow him to climb out of the superheated pool of water.
170	* IconicOutfit: His white Nehru suit.
171	* IslandBase: His base is on Crab Key, albeit more of an ElaborateUndergroundBase.
172	* JustBetweenYouAndMe: A not too blatant example, since the US had worked out before the events of the film that their rockets were being toppled; they just didn't know who the culprit was, and Bond works out by himself that Dr. No is responsible. However, Dr. No also freely gives away the existence of SPECTRE, who Bond and, presumably, [=MI6=] had been totally ignorant of until that point. In fairness, he only told him because he was trying to recruit him, and Russia and China definitely know because they keep doing business with them (No is on a mission for SPECTRE, but it is strongly implied that they were hired by Red China; No even has an army of Chinese henchmen), so its not so bad if half the world knows anyway.
173	* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Falls into a bunch of boiling radioactive water in the movie and gets crushed by a crane load of guano in the book.]]
174	* KickTheDog: In the book, he had an entire bird sanctuary burned to the ground and its staff murdered just because it was a bit too close to his base.
175	* LastGraspAtLife: The last we see of him is his hand trying to grasp a metal support beam as he drowns in the cooling tank of a nuclear reactor.
176	* LeanAndMean: He's tall, thin and the main villain of the film.
177	* LogicalWeakness: Dr. No's mechanical hands are strong enough to crush a metal figurine, but have trouble gripping something a lot more slippery and mobile, like another man. In their brief fight No easily outpunches Bond, but Bond easily outgrapples No.
178	* MadScientist: He's a genius in nuclear physics working for an evil organization, who uses his knowledge to ruin the American spacecraft program and when he's not wearing Nehru suits he wears lab coats. Yes, he qualifies.
179	* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Wears a Nehru suit, and his lair has respectable decoration and bar.
180	* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's very evil and, as seen above, a mad scientist to boot.
181	* NotThatKindOfDoctor: He's a scientist, not a medical doctor.
182	* OrganDodge: In the book, he tells Bond how he survived reprisal from the Tong after embezzling funds - after hours of prison torture, they chopped off his hands and shot him through the heart, or thought they did. As it turned out, he was a rare case with his heart on the right side of his body.
183	* RedRightHand:
184	** In the film, he has [[ArtificialLimbs mechanical hands]].
185	** In the book, he has no eyelashes, eyebrows, or any hair on top of his head. Instead of hands, he has a pair of steel pincers, and he has ''situs inversus'' - his organs are flipped, so his heart is on his right side.
186	* SoftSpokenSadist: His voice is calm and polite when talking to Bond.
187	* StarterVillain: Of the film series. His defeat kicks off Bond's long standing rivalry with SPECTRE.
188	* StrawNihilist: Particularly in the book, as he thinks it's fine for him to just do anything he wants (including [[CruelAndUnusualDeath horribly torturing people to death.)]] When James Bond [[YoureInsane tells him he's nuts,]] his response is essentially [[InsultBackfire "you say that like it's a bad thing."]]
189	* TheStoic: To the point where the only time he loses his cool is when he [[spoiler:falls into the boiling radioactive water.]]
190	* SupervillainLair: In the book, it is highlighted this is very irregular. Becomes a CollapsingLair.
191	* TankGoodness: His lair is guarded by an armored car with a flamethrower that is painted with teeth, and is appropriately referred to as "The Dragon".
192	* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Goes from being a member of SMERSH in the novel to SPECTRE in the film.
193	* ThinChinOfSin: The novel describes his face as being shaped almost like an upside-down raindrop.
194	* UndignifiedDeath: Being buried under a mountain of shit isn't on anyone's way to go, but that is Dr. No's fate in the book.
195	* VagueAge: More so in the novel, where Bond notes that it's hard to determine how old he is due to the absence of any lines on his face.
196	* VillainousBreakdown: He loses his temper after Bond foils his plans to sabotage American missile tests and desperately tries to kill 007, but falls into a vat of boiling radioactive water.
197	* VillainousValor: After his ''entire workforce'' decides ScrewThisImOuttaHere when Bond overloads the nuclear reactor, No himself rushes in by himself to fight Bond mano-a-mano.
198	* WeCanRuleTogether: Doctor No offers Bond the chance to join SPECTRE... or intended to until Bond spent their dinner mocking him.
199	* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: An UnbuiltTrope and the first classic example. Doctor No could have saved himself a lot of trouble this way, but he was {{Justified}} since he wanted to recruit Bond into SPECTRE and, finding out this was not possible, seemingly planned to torture him for information before killing him but had to deal with toppling the latest American missile first.
200	* WickedCultured: Many, ''many'' James Bond villains have taste and class, but Dr. No spent one million dollars on an underground fish tank, and Bond is amazed to see Creator/FranciscoDeGoya's ''Art/PortraitOfTheDukeOfWellington'' (see it [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_of_the_Duke_of_Wellington_%28Goya%29 here]]).[[note]]This was an HistoricalInJoke referencing that the painting had been stolen from the National Gallery in London just before filming began. Production designer Ken Adam contacted the National Gallery in London to obtain a slide of the picture, painting a copy over the course of a weekend prior to filming.[[/note]] He's no slouch either in the book, with a vast knowledge of philosophy and stamp collecting.
201	* YellowPeril: A low-key example given he's a half-Chinese man working for a white-run organization. His introduction theme does have a Asian-esque sound to it, however, and the majority of his base staff seem to be Asian (though his outside operatives are from a number of different races). The character was intended to be a tribute to Literature/FuManchu. Indeed, one of the actors considered to play him was Creator/ChristopherLee, who portrayed Fu Manchu in the most number of films of any actor.

220	* SmugSnake: Denies anything when Bond tries to extract info from him. And then goes for murder attempts, the second of which gets him caught in a trap by Bond, who shoots him.
221	* UndignifiedDeath: Shot once by Bond in the agent's own hotel room, but then he goes [[DoubleTap the extra step]] to make sure Dent gets his just desserts, leaving the dying man reeling in sharp agony from two lethal bullet wounds. He then gets left on the floor without another word to focus on Dr. No. Notably some broadcasts [[{{Bowdlerise}} cut the second shot]] because it was considered too cruel and violent for the time, and footage left on the cutting room floor originally had Bond [[NoKillLikeOverkill empty his entire magazine]].

236	* BadLiar: She comes with flimsy excuses when trying to keep Bond at her home until assassins arrive to kill him.
237	* HoneyTrap: After Bond hits on her, she feigns reluctance but later invites him up to her house so he can be murdered on the way. She gets a shock when Bond turns up alive, so she sleeps with Bond to give Dent time to get up there for a second assassination attempt.
238	* TheMole: A secretary at the Government House in Jamaica who also is one of Dr. No's spies.
239	* MsFanservice: Is even wearing only a towel at a certain point.
240	* PutOnAPrisonBus: [[spoiler: Bond deals with her by calling the local police to take her away.]]
241	* SexySecretary: Making it even easier for Bond to consider getting info outta her.
242	* SpitefulSpit: To Bond when he has her arrested.
243	* TheVamp: Seduces Bond and the two sleep together in order to keep him at her home until assassins arrive to kill him. It doesn't work.
244	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: {{Downplayed}}. Taro survives and is merely arrested; however, when Dent shows up to her house to kill Bond, he just shoots whoever is lying in the bed, meaning that he was likely trying to kill both of them (in the case of Taro, likely just trying to tie up loose ends).
245	* {{Yellowface}}: Ms Taro is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Jamaicans Chinese Jamaican]], played by an Anglo-French actress. It's not as noticeable as some, because Creator/TerenceYoung wanted her to be somewhat ethnically ambiguous, but her house is decorated in an Asian style.

256	Three Jamaican hitmen working for Dr. No. They move around in a hearse and pretend to be blind beggars as a ruse to deflect attention when approaching their target. They were the very first characters to appear on screen in the Bond films, right after the opening.
257	----
258	* AllThereInTheManual: They're never referred to as "Three Blind Mice" in the film. See NoNameGiven below.
259	* BlindBlackGuy: What they pretend to be.
260	* BlindPeopleWearSunglasses: The Three Blind Mice wear sunglasses and have canes so they appear blind. In reality, they are assassins for [[BigBad Dr. No]].
261	* DisneyVillainDeath: Bond outsmarts them during the CarChase, and they drive over a cliff to their deaths. Their hearse catches fire and explodes for no reason while falling.
262	-->'''Bond:''' [[BondOneLiner I think they were on their way to a funeral]].
263	* EveryCarIsAPinto: Their hearse catches fire for no apparent reason when they fall down after Bond outmaneuvers them.
264	* HollywoodSilencer: Complete with soft "fwip" noises when they shoot Strangways.
265	* InTheBack: They attack Strangways in the back.
266	* IronicNurseryTune: A calypso version of "Three Blind Mice" accompanies their appearance.
267	* NoNameGiven: Their names are not mentioned in the film. They are nicknamed "The Three Blind Mice" because a calypso song of the same name plays when they appear on screen for the first time. Plus, they're a trio and pretend to be blind.
268	* ObfuscatingDisability: They pretend to be blind for cover.
269	* PantsPositiveSafety: After shooting Strangways' secretary, one of the Mice shoves his pistol down the front of his trousers while he searches her body for the keys.
270	* ProfessionalKiller: All three are professional killers on Dr. No's payroll.
271	* SinisterShades: As part of the blind disguise.
272	* SoundtrackDissonance: They have become known as "The Three Blind Mice" because of the calypso song that accompanies them during the film's opening sequence. Said song doesn't sound particularly evil.
273	* TerribleTrio: And they use their number to ensure their chances, see below.
274	* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverKill:
275	** They all shoot Strangways at the same time with several bullets, leaving him no chance.
276	** This also applies to their own deaths. When Bond is able to maneuver their hearse off the road, it explodes for no reason just to let the viewer know they made it to "their funeral".

286	A henchman of Dr. No. He is ordered to intercept Bond at the airport in Kingston and passes as a driver sent by the governor.
287	----
288	* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Once discovered by Bond, he commits suicide by a CyanidePill cigarette rather than face interrogation.
289	* {{Mooks}}: He is the first henchman that Bond encounters in the entire film franchise. Bond gets the jump on him first, but Jones tricks Bond into giving him his cyanide-filled cigarette, which he promptly bites down on, saying, [[DefiantToTheEnd "To hell with you" as his last words.]]
290	* MrSmith: Bond clearly doesn't believe that Jones is his real name any more than he's a government chauffeur.
291	* NotMyDriver: Bond gets suspicious of Jones pretty quickly; he calls the British governor of Jamaica and finds out nobody has been sent to pick him up at the airport.
