Close, but No Cigar 差一點,幾乎就要猜對了

M：How romantic!

I know exactly where to put that.

J：Oh, Moneypenny, the story of our relationship:

close, but no cigar.

M.：I hate to tear you away from affairs of state. Would you mind coming in?

J：Right away, M.

R：The man who retrieved my money. I can’t thank you enough. Excellent work.

Be careful, M. I might steal him from you.
