Best introduction ever

The scene in the new Casino Royale where Bond is introduced to Vesper Lynd must be one of the best introduction scenes ever. Especially Vesper's analysis of Bond,

"All right. By the cut of your suit you went to Oxford or wherever, and naturally think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain, my guess is you didn't come from money. And your school friends never let you forget it. Which means you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity, hence the chip on your shoulder. And since your first thought about me ran to orphan, that's what I'd say you are... Oh you are? I like this poker thing."

That was my favourite scene in Casino Royale! You could just feel the chemistry as the scene played out.

My favourite bit was:

Vesper: Rolex?

Bond: Omega.

Vesper: Beautiful.
