I'd take pleasure in guttin' you boy. I'd take pleasure... in guttin' you... boy. I'd... take... pleasure... in guttin' you... boy.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker repeats a violent threat, first as a sentence and then in increasingly separated fragments. Those pauses make the words themselves conspicuous. Read as intimidation or rehearsal, the repetition dwells on the claim of pleasure rather than adding anything new to the threat.
