Another point about CR - Le Chiffre is clearly desperate to raise the "one hundred and one million, two hundred and six thousand dollars" he lost.
Clearly, Le Chiffre must win the money back lest he suffer Obanno's wrath, and also, he must repair his relationship with Quantum.
But when Bond kills Obanno, and asks Mathis dispose of the bodies, Mathis instead displays them before Le Chiffre - a move applauded by Bond who says that this will surely keep Le Chiffre looking behind his shoulder to wonder who is coming for him next.
But doesn't this almost serve as an out for Le Chiffre and the organization? The only thing I can think of is that Le Chiffre would still owe the money to the next leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, and he still needs to prove to Quantum he could raise the money again. I am curious what you guys think.
I took it as a suggestion that some higher power (Bond doesn't know about Quantum yet but has an idea that Le Chiffre is working for someone big) is giving him one last chance to get the money back. That way when he loses he'll be more likely to take a deal for protection.
