is trying to explain that "they" are trying to kill him. When asked who
"they" are, he says, "The people trying to kill me." Those people including
the anti-aircraft gunners and
army brass. My paraphrase here doesn't do it justice.

Or the scene in THE WILD BUNCH where Lyle & Tector Gorch marvel at
the "bags of silver rings" which turn out to be washers planted by
the railroad posse... the old coot played by Edmond O'Brien
tells 'em who "they" are.

Just saw "Unstrung Heroes", a syrupy-sweet film with Michael Richards
(Kramer) playing a comical paranoid. He commits himself to a sanitarium when
his nephew plays a joke on him by giving him a typed letter saying, "Game
Over. You Lose. (signed) Them. Though not as cool as the films already
mentioned it's still pretty enjoyable.
