Fantastic Mr. Fox - Ash insults Kristofferson's Dad

Details

Description

In case you're curious what did Ash Fox told to Kylie Possum, being...

"I mean, his father has one foot in the grave and 3 feet on a banana peel. It's a lot worse than just..."

So...

1) Banana peels are slippery. You step on one, and you will slip and fall.
2) A grave is where a dead body is placed for burial.
3) Having one foot in the grave means someone is close to dying.
4) Kristofferson's father is sick with double pneumonia.
5) Ash said that Kristofferson's father has "one foot in the grave and three feet on a banana peel."

In other words, Ash rudely stated that Kristofferson's father is extremely close to dying.

Also, clever that after Kristofferson ran off to meditate for half an hour, Mrs. Fox told Ash Fox he has 29 Minutes to come up with an apology, so Ash has his apology ready before Kristofferson is done meditating.
