The Boiling Point
Silva annoyed Bond from his first word: “Hello”.
Bond was accustomed to being annoyed by the annoying. He encountered a large number of annoying people - an unavoidable occupational hazard. In effect, his job was to help rid the world of them. It was a job to be done with careful thought and dispassionate efficiency.
Anger was a mistake. Anger made a man reckless, and dulled the reflexes. Caused mistakes in strategy.
So he tolerated Silva's touch, his mockery and inane ramblings. Even the insults to M.
But when Silva killed beautiful, innocent, brave Sévérine... that was when 007 saw red.
