The Satisfactions of Little Bill and Mrs Porter

In an essay by Christopher Ricks I read this:
'Cole Porter's wife, asked if her jewels are real, asks back: 'Real what?''
Mrs Porter declines the conventions of the question - after all, diamonds are not the only real thing - and asks instead the prior question, the one concealed by the turn of speech. I find this quite absurdly satisfying.
In Clint Eastwood's film Unforgiven, there is this:
'Strawberry Alice: You just kicked the shit out of an innocent man.
Little Bill Daggett: Innocent? Innocent of what?'
Again I am absurdly satisfied. Little Bill insists on the specificity of innocence because, to him, every man is guilty of something and, therefore, ripe to have his shit kicked out, no matter what he might have just done or failed to do.
I feel a list coming on - of responses that expose prior assumptions. They make me happy.
