It's a spin on 'sic semper tyrannis'. Yelled by john wilkes booth before, you know.

"Ever thus to tyrants" is what Brutus said after assassinating Caesar. It means what it says, if you are a tyrant, this is what's going to happen to you. So Wu is saying that if you're a deadbeat, you get your rug pissed on.

So you have no frame of reference here, you’re like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie…

It means this is what you deserve for being ____. When Booth said it, he was saying getting killed is what you deserve for being a tyrant. When the carpetpisser said it, he was saying getting your carpet pissed on is what happens when you’re a deadbeat, Lebowski!

You are in a unique position to confirm, or disconfirm that suspicion
