What is the Deliverance reference Beth makes in Rick and Morty S09E02?

In Rick and Morty S09E02, "Rick's Days, Seven Nights," Ted (Rick's "vacation mode" persona) and his friends from planet Beloi-6E show up at the Sanchez family home intending to "destroy" Rick. During the confrontation, Big Mike, one of Ted's friends, takes Beth hostage and holds a gun to her head. Beth then asks Ted/Rick whether he wants to call off "Deliverance," which I'm assuming is a reference to the 1972 film starring Jon Voight (which I haven't seen). Who and/or what specifically is Beth referring to with this movie reference?

Beth: Dad, do you want to call off Deliverance here?

Big Mike and Beth



Top Answer/Comment:

She is likening the man with the gun to the antagonists of the film Deliverance

When she asks if he wants to call off Deliverance, she is asking if he would please call off (i.e., tell to leave her alone) the man holding a gun to her head, with "Deliverance" referring to the man. Calling a person "Deliverance" implies that they are like the antagonists in the film Deliverance (menacing, sadistic, and inbred woodsmen). It's intended as a cutting insult to the man with the gun at her head.
