Default Grammar Structure
I recently hear on a TV show a new phrase or something like that,
but I don't understand it, it is:

"They have better never see"

Does it have any grammar structure? if it does, wich one is it?

Thank you for your help

I suspect the sentence spoken was, "They had better never see... (how you look in a kilt. You may be Sean Connery, and Scottish...but those knobbly knees!?......"
I'll leave comment about "grammatical structure" to someone else.

Ooops, it is true; is HAD, sorry people, and I heard it on Farscape, an old SciFi show, I know it was an Australian production.

So, anyone know about the structure, or is it only a phrase?
