Why didn't Stuckey punch Edward back?


Don't take that from that smug prick, Phil.

reply

Because Stuckey's living depends upon Edward's good will, and also because Stuckey is very much a Beta Dog in Edward's team.

Listen carefully to what Edward and Stuckey shout at each other right after the punch:

Stuckey: "Come on Edward, I been here ten years. I've devoted my whole life to you."

Edward: *beep* Such, *beep* It's the kill you love, not me. I made you a very rich man doing exactly what you love. Now, get out of here! Get out!!!"

reply

Because Stuckey was in the wrong

reply

Stuckey should've kicked Edward's ass.

reply

Edwards should have whacked stucky more than once!!
Horrible little man trying to beat up and rape mind u a woman. Should have thrown stucky off the balcony!

reply

Smug prick?? Stucky was just about to rape Vivian. He called her a hooker & was going to rape her! He also belted her across the face & knocked her to the floor.
I know she was a hooker but she didn't deserve rape, no man or anybody has the right to treat women or anybody like that.
If I were Vivian I would have belted stucky right across the face.

reply

Because he’s a smug fat rub of lard........oh and an attempted rapist!

reply

I think you're confusing the question here. Edward hit Stuckey because of these things. Stuckey didn't hit back because Edward is his boss and Stuckey was probably hoping to keep his job in spite of what he did to Vivian.

reply

Yes I got that bit haha I jus5 didn’t like him

reply

Yep, he was a nasty character, for sure.

reply

I think the second reason Stuckey didn't hit Edward is because he knew that, unlike Vivian, Edward would probably have kicked his ass.

reply

That too. He'd already suffered from being yanked off of her.

reply

A big fat crap of a man

reply

He was a coward. Figured Vivian was an easy target. Edward wasn't.

reply

I can't disagree. 😉 🙂

reply

He was like hey stucky check this out Cracker Jack. Pow kick punch face kick

reply

Stuckey deserved everything Edward gave him - and more. I thought Edward showed restraint.

reply

That’s true. I bet he fired stucky though

reply

That's what I thought, too. Stuckey's career with Edward is over. And I'll project that he'll have a hard time finding a new job in the same segment of the industry. Anywhere Edward has influence, he's toast.

reply

Edward kicked him in the ass on the way out too
