So many good lines! “Never pair a Siamese with a dramatic turtleneck.” “Wouldn’t want anyone to trip and fall, now, would we?” “Anything you can say to me you can say to my cat.” This is great!
A real Bond villain would order his henchmen to load the trash in the super secret super powerful rocket launching from his super secret underground lair and then dump it on some big city. Mwa ha ha ha ha.
We would get this same vibe when Albert’s Man would hold Albert (very large, very white) and stroke him. No turtleneck necessary. Albert would, of course, ruin the menacing atmosphere by purring so loudly that you could hear him from across the room.
The cat was a very strong meme in the first two Bond films in which it appeared because the face of the villain, Blofeld was not revealed until later.
“Futurama” did a very funny twist on this concept when an antagonistic professor is revealed to be “… one of those dog-operated puppets that’s been adapted for use by a cat!”
Not particularly a 007 fan, so this fell a little flat for me. I don’t recognize many of the lines, but the “Never pair a Siamese with a dramatic turtleneck” was such a non-sequitur that it did make me laugh.
My mom wore a lot of turtle neck sweaters because they hid the scar from where she had a goiter removed. I could never wear one. I don’t have a neck, just a swivel to allow my head to turn. If I tried to wear a turtle neck it would come up to my nose.
Two of our cats are Siameses. One of the girls said they were “lovely angels”. And I knew they had to be named after another pair of Lovely Angels. And so they are Kei and Yuri. And they can be like Elvis at times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dirty_Pair
Sounds like the man and the woman are having a Jack Benny Moment………
“My wife Mary and I have been married for forty-seven years and not once have we had an argument serious enough to consider divorce; murder, yes, but divorce, never.”
Dang, now I need to buy a dramatic turtleneck. I don’t have Siamese, but I do have a 23 pound all-black Norwegian Forest Cat. I am sure she can be Bond-Villain enough!

“Elvis would also like a new book about unsettling unsolved murders.”
“Um.”

“UM.”

Rita Coolidge: From Octopussy: All Time High
I intended just to hold my kitty walking through the room
Had no intention to do the things we’ve done
Funny with a dramatic turtleneck and a Siamese
It seems to intimidate
Nearly everyone!
…….
As we two go by
We’re sure to get our point across
As other’s paths we cross
We command respect!
As we two go by
We’ll take on the world and win
So we will go
And let the whole world know!
…….
Elvis: I don’t want to hear a dissenting voice
I’ll let my anger show
And everyone’s gonna know
Just what I mean
In my time I’ve had to poof before
But now they’ll realize
Don’t mess with Meese, don’t try
My claws are keen!
…….
As we two go by
We’re sure to get our point across

Next Cat: I am Itame, Royal Chef. Would you like me to assist in the kitchen?
Thomios: Oh, please don’t go to any trouble. You are our honored guests.
Itame: When you are a chef, you are in the kitchen. It’s what you do.
Thomios: Then you are most welcome. We’ll start with the rice kibble.
In the kitchen
Thomios: Thank you for your help. I’ll get my crew to bring out the serving dishes and we can begin.
Itame: The pleasure is mine. How do you wish to prepare the fish?
Thomios: We’re in luck. The Water Cats, Fresh and Salty, managed to catch the rare Diem Carp on their last fishing run.
Itame: Then we must seize the opportunity.

Surely no Bond villain would use so crude an expression as “take out the trash” to mean removing a person who is surplus to requirements!

The man knows the hierarchy of the family;
1. Children
2. Nana
3. Elvis (although Elvis would dispute being 3rd.)
4. Other cats
5. Woman’s friends
6. The mice
…
He comes in around #163 on the list, just above the family Volvo and just below a hot cup of tea.

Dr. Evil, is the villain in the Austin Powers movies. Mike Meyers played a dual role. I finally had to google it for name of villain.
