Ah. I've seen it. I get it now but the reference is too subtle and obscure. Also, you were yelling and as I recall he was closer to whispering.Stavros Kiri said:

It wasn't yelling. It was a manner of emphasis (+the guy was being ironic etc.). If you had seen the whole movie you would realize that these ONLY words of his were very cricial in finding and punishing the guy! ...phinds said:

I wasn't deliberately referencing Taken. I probably did echo Neeson's "I will find you, and I will kill you" speech, because I needed something fairly bombastic for the "you have my word" line to fit, but it was unintentional and incidental to the word/Word punchline.Stavros Kiri said:

It's the combination of the WD-40 with the Duct Tape. Together they can do anything.phinds said:
