The first time this happened was when Wayne punched Lawson shortly before his death. When he stood back up he pulled the knife out saying "Nobody hits me and lives man!". He got punched a second time when Jimmy's wife Sally punched Lawson so he won't kill Scott. Lawson laughed as Vinnie grabbed her. He walked over smiling and grabbed her head telling her "Don't you know Sally that nobody hits me and lives? Huh?"! He didn't pull out the knife, but he was angry where he wanted to kill her, but wanted to save it for when his gang meets with Jimmy later in the movie at the tunnel. The third time was when Wayne came back as he punched Lawson while the gang was tyring to kill him again. He pulled out the knife again. Another example of his short temper was when one of Jimmy's students Kate said that Lawson, along with some troublesome classmates, was idiots which caused him to stare at her. Later on that day Kate was lynched by Lawson and his gang where Jimmy found out the next day.
