"I Don't Think it's Nice, You laughing."

"A Fistful of Dollars"


Everybody who remembers this scene likes to quote the "Get three coffins ready" line. However, I am much more partial to the later line, when Clint, obviously insulted again, quite calmly says,
"I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. It's the crazy idea you're laughin' at him."
You do not want Clint's mule thinking you are laughing at it.

The greatest thing about these Spaghetti Westerns is that everybody but Clint sounds like English is their second language, which makes Clint sound even more unique simply for speaking colloquial English. A completely unintentional effect, but one that works brilliantly.


That's the way to handle idiots.
