Blofeld: {Trying to persuade Bond to let him go} "I'll buy you a delicatessen...in stainless steel!!!"

What in the HELL does this mean? It's possibly the most worthless promise a villain has ever given in the history of cinema...

can you give the movie please?

Gasp! How can you not have heard of this gem from "For your eyes only"? I'm disappointed yerssot...

I am too, cause the tape got destroyed by my recorder last time I wanted to watch it

Sure... we believe you...

I dunno, perhaps it has some wicket hidden meaning we're not familiar with

Blofeld is going to give him a cat

a steel cat?

A delicatessan isn't a cat!!!

perhaps he just ment bullets from steel?

Wha? I don't get your post...

And how in the hell do you respond so quickly to my posts yerssot? *Wonders If I'm Being Watched...*

well, he says stainless steel...perhaps he confused it with bullets?

Still not getting this...

I don't think Blofeld confused anything. I just don't see why a delicatessan in stainless steel is supposed to be appealing...

perhaps he ment to smack stainless steel into Bonds head?

Huh??? What's the confusion, yerssot? He offered to buy JB a delicatessan. What's the point in that?

he wanted to feed him to death?

I can just picture Blofeld bragging about how he killed the great James Bond with a massive coronary...

he placed them in a slowly going elaborate dead

Indeed, I could never work that one out...probabley some sort on injoke among the scriptwriters...

what about the scene? does that reveal more?

Nah...just Blofeld going down the chimney...

I'll try and look it up

Actually, besides the silly payoff, it's quite a well done action scene with a really good use of models ...

you mean old and full of itself?

Touche, old boy...

buuut, lets not deviate ...

The comical "whistle" as Blofeld falls down the chimney is also a bit much to take. I mean, if you look back to Blofeld's first cinematic appearance in FRWL {where he was really intimidating} this hardly seems like an appropriate death for such a character. It's a farce!

but it's not sure it's him

This line was mentioned in Cubby's autobiography WHEN THE SNOW MELTS. It refers to Italian mafia members offering this as a bribe to get something in exchange. A delicatessen in stainless steel was and still is the top of the line quality. Simply put, your food is better prepared on a surface that is easily cleaned and will not have bacteria clinging to it. Unlike a wooden cutting board or other surfaces. Also, keep in mind that many vendors during the early 1900s sold their food on the streets of New York in carts. If someone had a shoppe or delicatessen, they were obviously doing very well.

Btw Bond Fans, this is a great forum!

Oh... well that's not v. funny...

bribery... that's a new one

Oh please stop making that face yerssot!

If you do, I'll buy you a delicatessan... in stainless steel...

what do I have to do to get that

The question is, would you really want one?

it didn't work for Bond so wouldn't work for me either

{Ahnold falls down a chimney stack}

Mr. yersssoooooooottttttt...

Isn't the quip "Keep your hair on"?
