“I can be a badass DJ when I want, but I am also an insufferable music snob.”
“I am a badass, and I recognize that you, too, are a badass.”
“The nod means 'I am a badass, and I recognise that you too, are a badass.”
“I am not a snob; it is simply that I am not interested with what most people have to say, or what they want to do — mostly with my time.”
“That's why when major badasses greet each other in movies, they don't say anything, they just nod. The nod means, 'I' am a badass, and I recognize that you, too, are a badass,' but they don't say anything because they're Wolverine and Magneto and it would mess up their vibe to explain.”
