\\\'\\\'\\\'You\\\'d Expect:\\\'\\\'\\\' They\\\'d consider the possibility that Mills is not bluffing, let the girl and her friend go, apologize for the inconvenience, and get the hell out of there while PapaWolf is still in a charitable mood.\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Instead:\\\'\\\'\\\' \\\"Good Luck...\\\" HilarityEnsues.
Which -- and granted, this is an audience reaction trope -- is, frankly, is a bit ridiculous. It\\\'s confusing GenreBlindness with idiocy; exactly how are these kidnappers supposed to know that the person they\\\'re talking to is someone who actually is capable of carrying out their threat, and someone who isn\\\'t just, say, bluffing desperately? There\\\'s no reasonable way they could have known that they\\\'d had the bad luck to stumble upon the one guy who could follow up on his threat. Ergo, I move that this is not an example of idiocy, and thus doesn\\\'t belong here.
