“You have a new codename: U.N.C.L.E.”
#THIS WAS SO HILARIOUS TO ME #he tells them they’re a team now and have a new mission and they just stand around looking victimized for like 5 minutes #LOOOOOOL #napoleon’s so upset he has to get up and move because he can’t be solo no mo #gaby can’t even process it and looks like she’s getting a 404 file not found page in her head #and illya’s fucking drinking #they drove him to drink #I want to marry this movie #the man from u.n.c.l.e.
This scene tho.
#the only time illya ever truly smiles is with gaby #the only time he’s truly gentle and soft #and it KILLS ME DEAD #the man just THREW A FUCKING MOTORCYCLE AT A GUY #and then STABBED HIM TO DEATH #and then he cradles the injured love of his life so carefully like she’s made of spun glass #I CAN’T WITH HIM #I CAN’T WITH THESE TWO(via zombeesknees)

No slaps, sass, or unfinished kisses in this scene — and yet it’s still so shippy. First we have Illya playing Mr. Intimidating to make sure Gaby’s brilliant plan gets followed through to the letter (you know he didn’t even say anything to volunteer; he just followed her out). Then we have Dr. Lackey trying to worm his way out of things, but, oh, no, Illya’s there to be all, ‘Do as my woman commands.’ And when it’s finished Gaby looks up (and up and up, heh) at Illya, like, ‘Hope this works.’ They come back into the main action so in synch, guys. Like look at their facial expressions (especially Illyas little glance) and their body language (as they stand very close) — they totally mirror each other. They’re working together effortlessly. And this is before Gaby apologizes for the whole pretended-to-betray-you-whoops snafu.
Seriously, did anyone else love just how smart and capable all three of the trio were in this scene? Illya lying in wait in the car, Napoleon shooting Illya’s tires out, Gaby’s shit-hot driving in reverse.
I almost sort of wish they were pitted against each other for longer. I loved seeing them one-up each other.
