Do you see it as part of your job to torture me?
— The American President • 1995
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker asks, pointedly, whether the listener regards tormenting them as part of the listener's duties. The question turns a professional role into an accusation, suggesting that whatever the listener does feels like deliberate torture. It is worded as a challenge rather than a plain inquiry.
