Film Clips: Cousin Vinny on counter-offers

     Vinny Gambini: I understand you played a game of pool with Lisa for two hundred dollars, which she won. I’m here to collect.
     J.T.: How ’bout if I just kick your ass?
     Vinny Gambini:  Oh, a counter-offer.  That’s what we lawyers — I’m a lawyer — we lawyers call that a “counter-offer.”  This is a tough decision here. Get my ass kicked or collect two hundred dollars.  Let me think.  [Pause]  I could use a good ass-kickin’, I’ll be very honest with you.. .   Nah, I think I’ll just go with the two hundred.

                From:  My Cousin Vinny (Fox 1992)
