Lawyer in restaurant:
Fuckin' let go! [throws a drink in Doug's face] William Douglas Street:
You know, that's a very nasty word. But what's really, pardon the expression, fucked up, is your grammar. "Fuckin' let go," you can't say that. You know, the rules of grammar apply to profanity as well. The word 'fuck' comes from the German root, "fichen," which means to strike. It's a verb and can be used in a variety of ways, both transitive and intransitive. For example, simple aggression: Fuck you! Or simple confusion: What the fuck is goin' on here? And then there's apathy, "Who gives a fuck?" And then there's ignorance, which is very appropriate for you. Defiance: the fuck you can! Lawyer in restaurant:
I don't have to take this shit from you! William Douglas Street:
Authority! Shut the fuck up! You can say it four different ways. SHUT the fuck up, shut THE fuck up, shut the FUCK up, Shut the fuck up! You see, these are all the things you could have said if you weren't so unbelievably coarse and crude and countrified. [looks at girlfriend] William Douglas Street:
That's alliteration, babe. [looks back at Lawyer] William Douglas Street:
And remember, peckerwood; profanity is the last refuge of the ignorant, the insensitive, and the illiterate, but if you're gonna use it and I can see you are, at least get the fucking grammar right, moron
