		+	There's a story – not one for which I can find many references, but it is out there – that Gable's now-iconic (but weird, if you think about it) delivery of this line with the emphasis on "give" was done to avoid emphasising "damn". Maybe Randall is slyly referencing that? Sure, the supposed Tourette's could lead to making the curse stronger (hence the use of "don't give a damn" at all), but the inclusion of an odd inflection could be attributed to a vocal tic.
		+
		+	Now we all know the quote, saying "''give'' a damn" sounds fine. But really, why is "give" emphasised? In any other circumstance, that would mean that precisely what he's prepared to do with his damn is the focus of the sentence, and that's clearly not the case.
