answer:I sense that this was done as part of a television show, right? So it’s a dramatic scene, not part of anyone’s real life. Because I generally agree with Louis C.K.‘s schtick, which seems to be more reality-based, and this seems out of character for him. My response to this situation would be more on the lines of, “If you come at me, you’d better be sure I don’t get up, because when I get up I will come at you and put you down for good. Are we clear on that? One of us won’t be getting back up when we’re done.” I’d be slowly wrapping my hand around whatever weapon was available at the table then, even a butter knife in his throat would slow him down pretty well, and I can put that butter knife in his throat, I think.
