What does this line mean?
In the scene where Deel is telling Chris in the barn, "Don't let the same dog bite you twice, you know what I mean"? What does this mean?
shareIt might mean something like don't let the same person fool you twice.

Since Chris was really his son he could have just been giving him a some fatherly advice like always put up a fight and stand your ground...or he could've been talking about his brother taking away his girl from him and that he came back for the gold coins so his brother wouldn't cheat him out a second time.
shareWhen Deel is in the barn with Chris first he talks about how the two of them are friends, then he talks about how much John, the dad, favors his young son but treats Chris like "one of his pigs." When he says "Don't let the same dog bite you twice" he is telling Chris that his so called "dad" is mistreating him and that he shouldn't put up with it. He's just stirring up trouble. He wants Chris to hate John and side with him.
Hope that helps.
Cheerio mates!
It means don't get fooled again.
shareYea, I think that is what it means. I have a question about another line in the movie. When John and Deel are sitting on the porch where John is talking to him about watching the boys, Deel says "a chicken aint nothing but a bird" What the heck does that mean???? Thanks for any insight.
