A scene from My Cousin Vinny 1992
Vinny

Hey, Vincent Lamgini Gambini....

Lisa

His name's JT.

Vinny

JT...I believe you and Lise played a game of pool for two hundred dollars, which she won. I'm here to collect.

JT

How 'bout if I just kick your ass?

Vinny

Oh a counter-offer. That's what we lawyers - I'm a lawyer - we lawyers call that a counter-offer. Lemme see...This is a tough decision you're givin' me here. Get my ass kicked or collect two hundred dollars. Hmmp. Let me think... I could use a good ass kickin', I'll be very honest with you... nah, I think I'll just go with the two hundred.

JT

(The people in the room laugh)

Over my dead body.

Vinny

You like to renegotiate as you go along, huh? Okay then, here's my counter-offer... do I have to kill you? What if I were just to kick the ever-loving shit out of you?

JT

In your dreams.

Vinny

Oh no no... in reality. If I was to kick the shit outta yah, do I get the money?

JT

(JT contemplates this)

If you kick the shit outta me,

Vinny

Yeh,

JT

-Then you get the money.

Vinny

(Some people weakly laugh. Vinny looks at a guy whose in a neck brace.)

What happened? Rear-ended?

Guy

No, ah fell.

Vinny

Oh. (Vinny does personal injury lawsuits). Okay, lets see if we agree on the terms. The choice now, is...I get my ass kicked...OR, option B, I kick your ass, and collect the 200......I'm goin with option B. (takes his coat off) Kickin' your ass and collectin' two-hundred dollars.

JT

(a little nervous)

Uh, we gonna fight now?

Vinny

Yeah, first let me see the money.

JT

I have the money.

Vinny

Alright, show it to me.

JT

Ah can get it.

Vinny

You can get it? Alright, go get it. Then we'll fight.

Vinny

(Vinny goes to walk out.) (to the guy in the nec brace)

Did you fall in your place or somebody else's?

Guy

My place.

Vinny

Shit.
