Road Runner : No, I expect you to be utterly humilated, fall off cliffs only to defy gravity for long enough to hold up a sign you produce out of nowhere that says HELP! and then fall to your apparent death, your body crushed until you’re the height of a paper clip, only to survive again, and persist in your foolish game of trying to catch and eat me! What have you to say to that?
Bond: I do believe it’s tea time. (Bond looks at his Rolex, revealing he had secretly freed himself from his restraining straps)
Road Runner: Huh?
(Bond activates his Rolex wristwatch with Q’s new chemical designed to render road runners instantly unconscious, whips out his lighter from Asprey made out of titanium, and cooks roadrunner. Wily E. Coyote comes up, tells him ‘good show’ and removes his disguise, revealing that it was Moneypenny in a coyote costume. They feast on roasted roadrunner and a suitably aged red wine, then make hot love. Right afterwards, Moneypenny holds up a sign which says OH JAMES! )
Bond: Oh it was nothing at all, Moneypenny. He was a rather fowl beast, wasn’t he? Reminded me of a mobile phone, going beep beep at the most inconvienient times.
then, if bond merely wants to SEE the roadrunner, he can kill it.then, he can eat it.
if a naked singularity rose near the roadrunner, something that could happen is that it strips the roadrunner of his ability. since the singularity is random, the roadrunner can’t stop it.
I think you’re taking the singularity bit a little too literally. That was only an analogy. Even apparently random phenomena always work out to the advantage of the roadrunner. That’s just how it goes.
How wold Bond kill the roadrunner if he merely wanted to see it? (I’m about to leave to go see a friend. I hope I don’t kill him.) Did Bond really want to kill the roadrunner from the start, but he was just pretending to merely want to see it? Then Providence would see through his ploy and protect the roadrunner. Did he change his mind? Providence could predict that and prevent the meeting. Does someone else want to kill roadrunner, and he is only using Bond as a decoy? Then either Providence will see the plot and keep roadrunner free from Bond, or else Bond & roadrunner will be able to work together to foil the evil plot, or else something about the plot will backfire.
It doesn’t matter what kind of tricks you pull - you cannot capture or kill the Roadrunner, and you can only catch him if Providence has foreseen that your intentions are good and that you will do him no harm. That’s just part of what it means to be the Road Runner. I suppose that, if your sole aim in life was to catch and eat the Roadrunner, then he would seem to be some kind of diabolical creation.
Bugs’ name would be the vaguely Russian-sounding “Humpslaika”, as in “Humpslaika Bunny”.
In some sense, Bond was the Road-Runner, in The Spy Who Loved me and Moonraker, when he was being chased by Richard “Jaws” Kiel. Kiel would chase Bond, then something would go horribly wrong and Kiel would end up in the middle of a huge car/boat/cable car crash. Then he would just dust himself off, Wile E.-style, and carry on.
AHAHA. But the same Providence that won’t allow anyone to kill the Roadrunner, won’t let James Bond lose in the end. If his true mission is to capture, kill, and eat the Roadrunner then Providence will not take part of this match. Roadrunn can’t be caught and Bond can’t fail. It cancels out and the true winner will imerge.
Ahhh, but Providence does not help James Bond achieve any mission whatsoever. Providence only ensures that Bond will succeed in certain kinds of missions, namely the James Bond-ian world saving kinds of missions. Providence would not help Bond kill an innocent creature, especially not a creature that was smiled upon my Providence. Providence would side with the roadrunner, and its uncatchability would remain intact.
Actually, James Bond failed on a number of assignments. At the beginning of YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, M is about to fire 007 because he has screwed up on recent missions, nearly getting himself killed and coming back emptyhanded. There are references in other books, too, of Bond failing on missions.
So we would end up with 007 on crutches, back in London, reporting that the bloody bird got away and M saying, “You`ve hardly distinguished yourself, have you? Perhaps 008 could do better.”
The Road Runner is indeed a manifestation of a spirit guide, appearing to show the Coyote a higher truth. Unfortunately, the Coyote isnt ready. With all the money he spends sending away for Acme gadgets, the Coyote could easily dine in a fine restaurant every day, so he isnt really desperate for food. His determination to eat the Road Runner doesnt seem plausible, either, when you consider that some of his traps (such as the boulder flung by a catapult) wouldnt leave anything edible.
The Road Runner seems to posess the power to slightly alter the laws of reality in his favor in addition to his speed, so it would take someone who can counter those abilities to catch him. A team up of the Scarlet Witch and Qicksilver could probably take him down.
