Uh, kids, that was taken line by line out of a movie called True Romance. It was a scene with Christopher Walken as a mob heavy and Dennis Hopper as the guy he was leaning on. That was the speech Hopper delivered to Walken. (also stars Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater, released 1993.)

Are your friend and the supplier friends? This could just be an elaborate joke.

I know it was from a movie (didn't know which one). The two brokers are not friends (even less so now) and the recipient of the email certainly didn't know it was from a movie...

Even still though - you don't say that to someone in real life unless A. you're friends and B. they know what the quote's from

This guy is just a piece of shite.

Okay then, it's definitely fucked up. And incredibly inappropriate.

And he deserves a size 11 foot up his tight, bigoted ass!

Size 11? Anyone? Anyone?

I could put both of mine together. It'd make a size 12.

I agree...I didn't know it was from a movie...I guess on the positive side, this dude didn't make it up himself, which would have been really terrible. BUT, he was still nasty enough in spirit to bother to copy it down and actually email it to someone. Either way, it's totally offensive unless you're in really close company and it's an inside joke sort of thing...to send this in a business context is just unspeakably inappropriate!

I'll keep a look out for a size 11 foot...
