I was watching the movie the Birdcage.


There is a part in which a boy informs his father of his decision that he wants to get married with his girlfriend.


    Son: I have something to tell you, but I don't want you to get how you get.
Father: Oh, God.
    Son: I'm getting married.


What does "I don't want you to get how you get" mean?



Sincerely,

“What does "I don't want you to get how you get" mean?”
Essentially, it means the same as "I don't want you to do what you (usually) do (in these situations)", or "I don't want you to react in the way that you (usually) react".
