Dear teachers:

In the movie, the leading role, Swager, was imputed by a secret government organization about an assassination, but he ran away from police�s pursuing and capturing. Besides, a FBI agent, Nick, he investigated so much details of this case that the organization captured him and intended to killed him. Then, Swager saved Nick and asked �So you get it straight. You in or you out?� Nick replied �I'll take his legs.�

I�d like to know what did Nick�s mean, did it mean that he would help Swager to capture someone or other meaning?

Best wishes,
Tombrown

Hi,

I have seen this movie recently but I don't remember the scene you are talking about. However, Nick's answer means that he 'is in' (he will participate in whatever they were doing together).

I can only assume the two characters were standing over a body with Nick being undecided what to do and when Swager asked him if he would help him, Nick agreed and replied that he will carry the dead man's legs.

Hope that helped,

Kate.
