See, this here is exactly what I've been talkin' 'bout. Ever since this kid was suckin' on his momma's titty he's been shown everything but discipline. And now his idea of courage is ridin' around botherin' folks too good-natured to put a stop to it.
Hey, who do you think you are, huh?
Just a dumb kid, Hub. Don't kill him.
[Hub suddenly stands up and grabs Hood 1 by the throat]
I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and TANKS! I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, KILLED MANY MEN! And loved only one woman, with a passion a FLEA like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. NOW, GO HOME, BOY! [Throws Hood 1 at the other teenagers.]
Let's show this old bastard who's tough! Get out your knives!
[The boys all open their switchblades, but Garth **** his shotgun and aims it at them.]
Now, boys, you're fixin' to let those teenage hormones get you into a world of trouble. [the thugs immediately drop their switchblades]
Damn it, Garth, did I ask you to butt in?
Hub, you've just come out the hospital.
There's only four of 'em.
Well, look, look. You fight this one first, then I'll let you fight the other three after, okay?
Yeah! [To Walter] Watch this, kid.
[To Hood 1]
Now, you- you better pick that knife up. 'Cause, son, you're gonna need all the help you can get.
