Which of the following statements express a similar meaning?
"To get off on the wrong foot" is to start a relationship in a poor way. In this context, it is close in meaning to the expression "to give (or to make) a bad first impression". Dr. Badguy is saying that his first experience with Bruno (in which he kidnapped one of the Delavigne monkeys) was a bad way to start the relationship.
Dr. Badguy's expression is not a resolution to change his behavior, but rather a reference to the way Bruno and Badguy's relationship began.
Dr. Badguy's statement is not an admission or confession of a mistake, but rather a statement about the first impression which was made.
Dr. Badguy's expression doesn't indicate any misunderstanding or lack of comprehension, but rather he is referring to the way in which his relationship with Bruno began.
