Quantum Of Friendship

We were somewhere outside Dublin, on the edge of the city, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember going through the plot of Diamonds Are Forever, Sean Connery's return to the Bond franchise. And suddenly there was a terrible roar, and a black woman turned into a gorilla and frightened small children without advancing the plot in Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming, "Holy Jesus! What is this goddamn movie?" Richard defends this film's incarnation of Blofeld from an under-impressed Jonathan, too preoccupied with allusions to Hunter S Thompson, imagining his red convertible speeding past Bond down the Nevada highway, making laboured similes as he goes like a flaming kebab warrior.
