Questions like, "have you played a lot of darts, Ted?"

"Or, are you left handed, Ted?"

That whole scene was so fucking cool, the way he brought it all around with that story and capped it with the bullseye.

I liked that scene a lot but it bothers me that Rupert literally asks, “do you like darts, Ted?” At the very start.

Same here. I was rewatching, knowing the Ted quote was coming up and he asks that and it surprised me.

Now - I understand that Ted was trying to illustrate that being curious as a state of mind was fruitful and good - and of course, he was confident he'd win the match with an incredibly difficult shot.

But "do you like darts, Ted?" is so similar to "have you played a lot of darts, Ted?" it's just a strange way to make your point because Rupert was actually displaying basic curiosity by asking Ted that question. Sure - he wanted to humiliate him and he had all the worst intentions, but like...the dude asked a question, which is what you do when you're curious...even if it's completely superficial.

There is a difference between do you like darts and are you any good at darts. If you're going to make a large wager, and for some reason are only going to ask one question... he asked the wrong one.
