Carla: Cliff, I'm ashamed to know you if you don't go and stand up to that guy.
Cliff: Oh, no, let it ride, Carla, will you?
Carla: What, are you scared?
Cliff: No, I'm not scared. I just don't want to start a fight over a few hasty words, all right?
Carla: Come here. Look. You won't have to fight him. You just have to back him down a notch. Trust me. I've been in a lot of fights and I've seen a lot of fights. And believe me, fighting is the last thing on his mind. You just call him out, stare at him eyeball to eyeball, and watch him crumble.
Norm: Yeah, like two fighters stare each other down before a bout.
Carla: You got it. The name of the game is intimidation. Real men have been doing it for centuries and, believe me, it can work for guys like you, too.
