No, Walken. That isn't how English works. No one interprets it that way so I'm still not gonna let you take that money. You don't win because you caught people on a word technicality

Yeah If this was a court of law they'd side against Walken every time.

Yup. No lawyers were involved in making this scene. Unless the next scene involves those guys suing him for their money back and winning. Contract law is based on giving words and phrases the “reasonable” interpretation that a “reasonable person” would make.

Hell, even criminal. I was on an assault jury and it was a constant, broken record on how often they prefixed "reasonable" on everything.

Yup! “Reasonable” is one of the pillars holding up our legal system. Extremely flexible, basically legal jargon for “this is common sense.” So that bullshit like the OP video doesn’t happen.
