18. After he loses the first ten million to Le Chiffre, Bond is given the option of buying back into the game. Who stakes him this time, providing the additional money?
From Quiz Casino Royale (2006)
Answer:
Felix Leiter
After Bond recklessly loses the first ten million, Vesper refuses to release any additional money, so Bond is effectively out of the game. Felix Leiter, who identifies himself to Bond as a CIA agent, learns this and offers to provide Bond with the necessary cash. Leiter does this because he realizes that Bond is the only one who has a chance of defeating Le Chiffre, which is, in fact, what happens.
