Secondhand Lions Michael Caine scene

    par Capucine · old hollywood: Michael Caine

    Michael Caine as Hub McCann in Secondhand Lions (2003) delivers one of the film's best moments when a group of teenage punks assume he is just an unthreatening elderly man. They quickly learn that some legends are very much alive once they realize his reputation was no exaggeration. Seeing Caine turn the tables on the gang feels priceless to watch.

    Hey, old man. How's that barbecue? Give me some. We're busy before we get lost, all right? What did you say? Here's a perfect example of what I've been talking about. Since this boy was suckling on his mama's kit, he's been given everything but discipline. And now his idea of courage and manhood is to get together with a bunch of punk friends and ride around irritating folks. Too good nature to put a stop to it. Hey, who do you think you are, huh? Just dumb kids, huh? Don't kill them. All right. Hug McCann. I fought in two world wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything with 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 to flee like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. Can I go home? Wait. Show these old bastards you stop. Get out your knife. Yeah. Now, boys, you're fixing to let those teenage hormones get you into the world of trouble. Damn it, Garth. Did I ask you to butt in You just come out to the hospital Well there only four of them Well look you fight this one first and then I let you fight the other three after okay Yeah. Watch this, kid. Now, you, you better pick that knife up, because, son, you're gonna need all the help you can get. Come on, Frankie. Get him, Frankie. Come on, Frankie. Get him, Frankie. Oh All is fitting the book Oh, okay, hold it wrong son. Not like this. You always do it like this smooth, right? Try it again. Come on Frankie. Come on Frankie get him! Come on Frankie, cut him! Frankie, cut him! Yeah you got him, Frankie, come on. Ah! Ah! Ah! Oh! Stop, stop, stop! I like his arm! We had better get in there and help. Why aren't you helping him? He always hugs the bad guy. He's selfish that way. But there's four of them. Three of them. Go on, honey. Hey! Here's my boy. It's good. Can you share? After 40 years, I'm used to it. Besides, right now, I figure he needs some work. Go on, honey. Let's go home. No! No! No! No!
