Not one fuckin’ thing gentlemanly about protecting what’s yours. Looks like you’re gonna lose it, you do everything you can to stop that from happening.” Max looked back to Niles. “And you didn’t do that. She was a week away from me, she walked into a room I was in holdin’ another man’s hand, I’d lose my fuckin’ mind. Not at her. Wonderin’ where I lost my way and I’d talk to her about how to find my way back. Kristen Ashley
About This Quote

The phrase, "Not one fuckin' thing gentlemanly about protecting what's yours," has been attributed to the legendary comedian Jim Carrey. In this context, it means that a man is using his strength and might in a way that is not honorable or respectable. In other words, he's acting like a bully. The reason that he can't be a gentleman in the way he is fighting is because his actions are causing him to look bad in the eyes of others. A true gentleman would fight with honor and respect, but a person who is acting in a way that does not make him a gentleman in the eyes of others will lose his honor and respect when he loses in a fight with another man.
