Great moment in the film-noir classic “The Maltese Falcon” from 1941. Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) snubs Joel Cairo (Peter Lorre) and gives a short lecture on how to be a man … “When you’re slapped, you’ll take it and like it.”

Is it just me, or does that chick have a manly face? Look at the size of her skull! And her Hawkins is stronger than the dude she just slapped!

With a modern quick draw holster the elegantly tailored Cairo would have put finish to that meddling private dick and then gone to dinner with the lady.

Today, most men just won’t stand for a woman slapping a man. Today Bogie would give her a belt in the mouth and a good telling off and THEN take care of the slimebag bloke (probably a ‘Hugo’ any way) in the time honoured fashion.

It’s not a lecture on how to be a man, but rather, a lecture on why you’ll always be a lesser man than Humphrey Bogart. :3

Yeah, I agree. I was in tears from laughing so hard the first time I saw this part.

Humphrey Bogart probably weighed 140 pounds. If he slapped anyone in real life, he’d get his ass kicked.

One of the all-time greatest lines from old Hollywood, “When you’re slapped you’ll take it and like it.”
