This is one of Blofeld’s most revealing lines in You Only Live Twice, precisely because of how irritated he sounds. He becomes visibly fed up with incompetence and, more pointedly, with James Bond’s relentless refusal to die.

That irritation curdles almost immediately into punitive action when Blofeld feeds Helga Brandt to the piranhas. It’s a brutal punctuation mark to his bitterness and intolerance for excuses. His ruthless natures shines through his frustration, and only enflames his desire to defeat Bond once and for all. It’s one of my favorite flippant remarks from a James Bond villain.
