Go ahead, spoon. Make my day

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the spoons of evil men.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my spoon upon you.

Samuel L Jackson, Pulp Fiction

Mel Gibson, Braveheart
