Highlights for me:
“You’re intellectually menacing!” - Hammond to May, ~27:oo mark
“character assassination / bond villain / I’ve steepled my fingers so you should be intimidated” - and then Hammond getting giggly and flirty - hilarious exchange starting at around the 29 minute mark <3
“you love me when i’m drunk” oh god ok ok
hammond’s repeated references to being a small man so he shouldn’t have to drink as much (and then, alternately, asking for another gin and tonic bc he wants to drink, just not what and when he’s supposed to drink)
hammond getting annoyed the second he doesn’t have may’s full attention
hammond forgets the rules, and which side he’s playing
james saying he’ll eat the cheesy-whotsit that’s been up hammond’s nose for five pounds
“you’re not a man who--” “how dare you sir” exchange lmao
“are you okay to carry me home?” (58 min) but we’ve already learned you’re already filming at your home Hammond!! you don’t need him to carry you anywhere!!
“i squirm. this is how i work. i’m small, but i take a lot of killing.”
they say “prawns” instead of “pawns” until they get too drunk to remember to do that
hammond wanting to take back a move and getting his own way about it (of course)
Hammond’s compliments / questions about May’s beard (just cute) (around 1 hr 12 min)
Hammond getting sweary and doing accents and basically getting messy and forgetful and drunk the more they play, while May stays more or less even-keeled in comparison
At the end, May asks TWICE if Hammond wants to go again, aka have a rematch, even though Hammond is clearly not far away from falling asleep on a couch somewhere
when the gin hits and you start getting giggly and flirty
