<P> W. Winter -- known as Wint -- and Charles Kidd are fictional characters in the James Bond novel and film , Diamonds Are Forever . In the novel , Wint and Kidd are members of The Spangled Mob . In the film , it is assumed that they are henchmen for the villain , Ernst Stavro Blofeld , though the characters share no scenes with and are not seen taking instructions from Blofeld ( or anyone else , except for Bert Saxby ) . One of their trademarks is trading quips after killing their targets ; they also do so after a failed attempt to kill Bond . In the film , Wint is played by the clean - shaven actor Bruce Glover and Kidd by bespectacled jazz musician Putter Smith in a rare acting role . </P>
