James Bond I've Been Expecting You Doormat, Coir, Multi-Colour, 40 x 60 cm

Product Information

In Man of Steel, while standing at Jonathan's grave, Lois tells Clark she knew he'd show up if she just kept digging. Naturally, he's right behind her. Although it seems as if the Anticipator is Crazy-Prepared, usually they are simply cool, wise, or are very seasoned. They expect you to be sneaking through the window, hiding behind that pillar, creeping in the shadows, and even using that Invisibility Cloak of Invisible Fabric... and don't even think about opening a door to stakeout in a room to surprise them later: they'll already be waiting for you there.

i>Diamonds Are Forever - Bond after sneaking into the penthouse, falls on the john. Blofeld over the intercom says "We've been expecting you". Daredevil (2015): Thanks to long-term scheming from behind bars, Wilson Fisk is able to pull this off in season 3 repeatedly. Trespassing to Talk: A character breaks into another's home and waits to confront them when they arrive. Many people, especially the public, believe the villains or moreso Blofeld often say a variation of, "Ah, Mr. Bond. I've been expecting you" in the films but my question is has it actually been said at all in any of the films to Bond and if so, by whom?Live And Let Die - "Good evening. The name's Bond. I have a reservation.""Mr Bond. Of course. Mrs Bond's been expecting you." Rumpelstiltskin does this in the Pilot of Once Upon a Time: When Prince Charming and Snow White go to consult him, they are warned to do three things: 1) Stay out of the light, 2) keep their faces hidden, and 3) not mention their names. All three turn out to be useless, as Rumpelstiltskin not only knows who they are, but has been waiting for them to show up. Justified because he A) can see the future and B) has been planning for this moment for years.

I don't think it has though I haven't seen the Bond films in a few years so I honestly can't remember, which is why I'm asking. James Bond is famous for the "I've been expecting you" lines in many of the movies. As stated in multiple real-life interviews, this one-liner has become one of the main reasons that the real life MI6 would consider James Bond to be a terrible spy, because "no matter where he goes, he's expected". The Dark Knight Rises. Selina Kyle is waiting in the subway for Batman, and gives the "come out, don't be shy" line. Of course, it's all a trap set by Bane, even Batman's face-off with Bane.

My Account

i>Octopussy - The hotel receptionist, when Bond arrives in Delhi welcomes him by saying "We've been expecting you". Sneaking up on someone, or trying to get past them, can be an excellent tactic if done correctly. But some people are simply too badass to be surprised. This is the essence of The Anticipator. No matter how hard another character tries, they cannot manage to sneak up on or get past the Anticipator. Because the Anticipator is expecting them to try. The Man With The Golden Gun - Scaramanga has a phone conversation right before Bond arrives to the island. "Yes, it's a... guest I'm expecting. No, he won't be leaving."

In American Horror Story: Asylum, Lana plays the Anticipator trope straight; Lana is having an interview on the final episode. Unbeknownst to TV crew someone is hiding amongst them. Bloodyface, Lana's son, is among the crew masquerading as a worker. After the crew leaves someone stays behind, and tells the hiding person to emerge. Lana, who knew Bloodyface was there all along, tells him that he can come out now, as she anticipated his presence. The problem with it is that, at the end, James Bond dies. I really hope that everyone still reading either already knew that or doesn’t give a shit about James Bond, though I warn the latter group: I’m not going to get on to anything important like economics or gardening. This whole Bond death thing is buzzing around my head like a miniaturised Sean Connery on Little Nellie. And he definitely dies. They’re not playing with the idea, like at the start of You Only Live Twice. You don’t actually see his corpse, but there’s no twinkly possibility left open that he escaped. What happens in the story – the canonical story made by Eon Productions and endorsed by Ian Fleming’s estate – is that James Bond, agent 007, is killed. At the end of the credits it still says “James Bond will return” but I’m assuming it will be a prequel, a telling of another part of his life. The death of James Bond at the end of No Time to Die is, and will remain, the character’s fate. We simply didn't know when to expect you. First it was teatime yesterday, and then dinner, and it was only half an hour ago that we really knew you were on your way."Sometimes, in a tragic-dramatic twist of fate, the Anticipator will be waiting for their opponent calmly and patiently after uttering one of the above phrases, because there's Nothing Left to Do but Die. If they are tired of fighting, then they may enjoy One Last Smoke before the big showdown. i>Dr. No - Bond and his friends are told by the boat henchman, "Megaphone Man", "We know you're there. We've been expecting you". The climax of the film is riveting and tragic, but it’s not just Craig’s acting or the film’s direction that gives it its power – we are moved because of the vast hinterland of warmth and nostalgia we feel for a character we’ve been watching all our lives. The current film-makers are wantonly expending emotional capital the vast majority of which was earned by other people. A precious resource has been squandered in one attention-grabbing and ultimately miserable moment. In The Spy Who Loved Me, Bond goes to Atlantis to rescue Anya Amasova before Atlantis is blown up. Again, Bond's entrance is noticed by Stromberg, who says, "Good evening, Mr Bond. I've been expecting you." He thoughtfully sends his private elevator to bring Bond to him—as the audience already knows, the elevator floor is a Trap Door to the Shark Pool.
