Line 104 Vulgarized:
"Back home, you'd have to walk around for four or five hours before finding some piddling excuse to punch a guy in the head. For those prone to violence, London, where everybody gives you an excuse to smack them in the face, it must be heaven, no?"
Subtext:
If you love punching people in the throat because they looked at you funny, you should move to the big city. Also, if you love looking at people funny, maybe move to the country.
