Man from U.N.C.L.E. Drabble: Hobbled

“Why is it,” Irritation strengthened Illya’s accent as he lamented to his fellow agent, “that those placed into our protective custody always rail and rebel when we try to keep them safe? Just once, I’d like to be in a situation where compliance and obedience overruled the need to make our job more difficult!”

“They’re taking on the world. The law doesn’t believe them and the forces of evil want to end them—maybe they deserve a break,” Napoleon suggested in a reasonable tone.

“A break would be a good idea,” Illya said darkly. “Harder to run with broken leg.”

LOL! Oh, yes, that's Illya's oh-so-drool humor shining darkly through.

Hehe. I can relate. For me, it's always been short guys with big blue eyes. Hair color optional.

Young-David would have made an excellent elf! Not as tall as the NZ supermodels... but he's got all the other qualities.

Even now, he's in his seventies and he's still got that charming elfin quality!

*swoons respectfully*

Yes, he has aged very well.

It is fun to watch the DVD's and have a picture of him as he is now. It's kind of scary too, growing old, has it's drawback.

But I agree with you, he would have made a wonderful Elf in his younger days, and no doubt given Orland Bloom a run for his money as Legolas.

He is a very nice looking man, even now he is in his late 70's.
