The entire brazen farce reminds me of the scene in Scorsese's The Departed where Billy Costigan (DiCaprio) is in a seedy bar, and has just thumped a guy who took the mickey out of him. Mr French (Ray Winstone), Mafioso boss Costello's top muscle, intervenes:

Quote:Mr. French: Do you know me?
Billy Costigan: No... No.
