My favorite part of the movie Secondhand Lions is the part where the main character, Walter, goes to a restaurant with his uncles, Hub and Garth. Some young, punk teenagers come into the restaurant thinking that they can do whatever they want and start messing with the old men. What they don’t know is that Hub was trained in the French foreign legions and can kick there butts with his eyes closed.
The punk kids pull a benchmade griptilian knife on Hub, thinking that they are going to hurt the old man. He turns the benchmade griptilian knife back on them in two seconds, pulling it away from them. He’s confident in his abilities, so he throws the knife back at them, and tells them to try again. The punk kid does, but still gets taken down by just Uncle Hub. In fact, all four or five of the teenagers get taken down by just Uncle Hub. It’s a terrific scene.
The point of all this is that it doesn’t matter what weapons you have if you don’t know how to use them. Only the combination of knowledge plus weapons will save you. But please, use your benchmade griptilian knives for good.
