My favorite Swayze flick, Road House. There's a lot of truth you can pick up from a cooler.



Dalton, to his new crew, after his presentation as Double Deuce's new 'best damn cooler in the business'...

All you have to do is follow three simple rules.
One...Never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected.
Two...Take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. And
Three...Be Nice. If somebody gets in your face and calls you a cocksucker I want you to Be Nice.

Be calm, be cool, watch my back. Until it's time to take out the trash.

Well, he had it written for him, but the underlying sentiments were absolutely correct.

After all, it's never personal. So what if someone calls you a cocksucker? Those are two simple nouns combined to elicit a proscribed response, to jerk your chain. Don't let 'em own you with words. Your mind is a mirror; a mirror sees all, observes every motion, every movement, and you're reacting only to those movements that might break the glass. React with swiftness and control; break whatever you touch. Those simple rules will take you far, grasshopper.

Be Nice. Until it's time to not Be Nice.

RIP, Patrick Swayze. Dalton lives on, in my mind.
