Movie Clips: Goldfinger (1964) 'I Expect You to Die'

Source:Movie Clips- Gurt Frobe as Mr. Goldfinger.

"CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Bond (Sean Connery) wakes up to find himself tied to a table in the direct path of a large industrial laser, while Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) watches from the side." 


As I talked about yesterday on The New Democrat about Goldfinger (played by Gurt Frobe) sending James Bond (played by Sean Connery) the message this is what happens when you try to screw with him, well in this scene, Goldfinger is sending Bond a different message. 

In this scene, Goldfinger is telling Bond, this is what happens when you've already screwed with him, you get fried like an egg, in the desert, on a sunny day, by a laser. With Captain Smartass (or whatever James Bond ran in the Secret Intelligence Service is) literally having to talk his way out of this, or he'll be fried like an egg, by a laser.

A couple other things that stand out in this scene: 

Gurt Frobe's thick German accent. Of course most, if not all Germans speak English, even in Germany, at least as a 2nd language and most if not all of them speak it very well, same thing in Scandinavia and Holland. But Gurt's accent is very distinguish with the way he says: "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die" and when he tells Bond, as Bond is literally trying to talk his way out of death: "You know nothing, Mr. Bond" that really gets my attention as well, because of how well-delivered those lines are with his German accent.
