At the very start of the film "Dr No" the first line spoken is, "That's it. Hundred honours, and ninety below." What is the meaning of this line?

It has to do with scoring points in the game of bridge from this website http://www.acbl.org/learn/scoreRubber.html Honors The top five trumps (A K Q J 10) are called honors. If one player holds all five of these cards, that player's side scores a bonus of 150 above the line. Four honors in one hand scores 100. If there are no trumps and a player holds four aces, that player's side scores 150 for honors. As there is no skill in scoring for honors, players often agree to play without the honor bonuses. Game and Rubber A side that accumulates 100 points or more below the line wins a game. A new line is drawn under the scores. Anything the opponents had below the line does not count toward the next game; they start from zero again. Jan 13 13, 5:31 AM
