Arlen and Fontana in “Tombstone”

Is that a threat?

Why, no, Mr. Arlen, that's not a threat. A threat would be more like ... If you mouth off to us one more time, I'm gonna break your jaw. And when you're on the ground, I'm gonna kick you in your ribs until you spit blood, you cheap shyster. That would be a threat. This is more like a request.
