There is a sentence in a movie in which a gangster uses the verb do (done) and the word teeth (without teeth), but I couldn't make out the first verb or the correct sintax. Context: The thugs are hitting a newspaperman in the gangsters' den. They are menacing the reporter because the newspaperman doesn't want to tell them something that they want to know.
This is the sentence: You're not being very talkative, dude. What if you ***** done without teeth
Which on would be correct?
1) get: get done without teeth.
2) be: be done without teeth.
3) are: are done without teeth.
The only thing that makes sense to me is that they are threatening to knock out all of his teeth. None of your suggestions have that meaning.
