A scene from Trading Places 1983
Billy Ray

[watches Louis clean his shotgun]

You know, you can't just go around and shoot people in the kneecaps with a double-barreled shotgun 'cause you pissed at 'em.

Louis

Why not?

Billy Ray

'Cause it's called assault with a deadly weapon, you get 20 years for that shit.

Louis

Listen, do you have any better ideas?

Billy Ray

Yeah. You know, it occurs to me that the best way you hurt rich people is by turning them into poor people.

Coleman

You have to admit, sir, you didn't like it yourself a bit.
