- Well, I thought you claimed he was going over the hill.
- What the hell are you talking about, "claimed"?
- He was going over the hill. My outfit was pinned down by the worst crossfire you ever saw. Half of them bleeding to death. And this lover took off like a rabbit with the medical supplies on his back. The only way to stop him was to shoot him. Anyhow, he had it coming.
Jak rozumiec 'he had it coming'. W tym samym pytaniu, bo ten sam kontekst
