A scene from Cool Hand Luke 1967
Captain

You're gonna get used to wearin' them chains after a while, Luke, but you never stop listenin' to them clinkin'. 'Cause they're gonna remind you of what I've been sayin' - for your own good.

Luke

Wish you'd stop bein' so good to me, Cap'n.

Captain

[hits Luke with his blackjack, knocking him down]

Don't you ever talk that way to me. Never! Never! What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week - which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.
