The Netflix movie, The Trial of the Chicago Seven (2020) by Aaron Sorkin.

Tom Hayden (Eddie Redmayne) meant to say OUR blood. He implies possessive pronouns and uses vague noun modifiers.

Abbie Hoffman (Sacha Baron Cohen):
“Our blood.” “If our blood is going to flow…” You meant to say, “If our blood is gonna flow, then let it flow all over the city.” You didn’t mean the cops! You were saying, “If they’re gonna beat us up, everyone should see it.”
