山田洋次監督「男はつらいよ」第一作目には、久しぶりに故郷に帰って来た寅次郎をおいちゃん竜造が我慢の限界を越えて亡くなった親父のかわりに寅次郎をとっちめる場面がある。
以下は、その場面。could hit harder の仮定法が効いている。
UNCLE: Alright, I'll really beat you up then!
AUNT: Stop the fighting. Stop it right now!
UNCLE: How's that? Eh? I'm not the one who's hitting you. This isn't my fist that's hitting you, this is really the fist of your poor dead father! Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?
TORA: Don't make me laugh. My old man could hit harder than that!
UNCLE: Why you idiot, trying to make fun of me!
