“I’d like to punch him in the face."

“Maybe he should have been roughed up.”

"Part of the problem . . . is no one wants to hurt each other anymore.”

“I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself or if other people will.”

"The audience hit back. That’s what we need a little bit more of.”

"If you do [hurt him], I’ll defend you in court, don’t worry about it.”

“I’ll beat the crap out of you.”

“Knock the crap out of him, would you? I promise you, I will pay your legal fees.”
