Although Bond is successful in engaging Domino in conversation, she snubs him, but later agrees to meet with him again when she returns to land. She also becomes testy when Bond uses her given name, Dominetta, and bluntly tells him to call her 'Domino'. At the end of this encounter, after she leaves him, Bond calls her a 'Bitch'.
When Bond and Domino meet again at the casino later, she has entirely changed. She informs Bond that she is tired of watching Emilio show off and using people around him, like herself whom he does not love. She explains to Bond that she is trapped like a bird in a gilded cage.
Domino later reveals that Giuseppe Petacchi is her brother who she hasn't seen for quite some time. After finding out that Emilio Largo had Petacchi killed after Petacchi had hijacked bomber on SPECTRE's behalf, Bond informs and proves this to Domino who he recruits as an ally to spy on Largo for him.
