"Don't take anything from me because I'll track it down"
About this Quote
The specific intent is deterrence. It’s not pleading or moralizing; it’s a warning calibrated to make the would-be taker imagine effort, exposure, and payback. "Track it down" carries a pleasingly physical verb, suggesting pursuit, refusal to let theft slide into “that’s just how it is.” Subtextually, it’s also about ownership in a broader sense: not just objects, but dignity, credit, narrative control. For a famous woman, “taking” has always been a loaded verb - tabloids take privacy, studios take youth, fans take entitlement.
Context matters because Andress was marketed as a fantasy. This line punctures fantasy with logistics. It suggests the person behind the poster, the one with memory and will and a long reach. It works because it’s simple, slightly amused, and unmistakably transactional: take from me, and you buy a chase.
