I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Ned Pepper mocks the other man's bold talk, pointing out that it comes from someone with just one eye and considerable weight. Calling the words bold talk undercuts their seriousness before he dismisses the man himself. It reads as a blunt insult rather than any grudging respect.
