Count Rugen

Have you been chasing me your whole life only to fail now? I think that's the worst thing I ever heard...how marvelous.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker mocks someone whose lifelong chase has apparently ended in failure, savouring the irony with mock admiration. Calling it 'the worst thing I ever heard' and then 'marvelous' turns the other person's disappointment into entertainment, delivering the cruelty with a delighted, sneering flourish.
