That's why when major bad-asses greet each other in movies,

Summary

This quote humorously highlights the tendency in movies for major tough characters to simply nod at each other instead of exchanging words. The nod signifies a mutual understanding and respect for each other's badassery. However, the quote playfully suggests that these characters, such as Wolverine and Magneto, don't need to verbalize it because their vibe and reputation speak for themselves.

A scrupulous writer in every sentence that he writes will ask himself. . . What am I trying to say? What words will express it?...And he probably asks himself. . . Could I put it more shortly?
