British v American

I was watching a British film, and the young fit character was robbed of his wallet and wedding ring by an *unarmed man.* Hard to believe 75 years ago the Brits ruled most of the world and fought off Hitler. Here's how that scene plays in an American film..

Thief: Gimme your wallet and ring. 

Man: Do you have a gun?

Thief : No

Man: A knife? Do you at least have a big knife?

Thief: Well, no. 

Man: Then . . . I'm going to F you up and take YOUR wallet.
