Jack quotes from 48 Hrs. (1982)

Reggie

This ain't no god damn way to start a partnership.

Jack

Now, get this! We ain't partners. We ain't brothers. And we ain't friends. I'm puttin' you down and keepin' you down until Ganz is locked up or dead. And if Ganz gets away, you're gonna be sorry YOU ever MET me!

Reggie

I'm already sorry.

Reggie

This is your car, man?

Jack

Yeah.

Reggie

Looks like you bought this off one of the brothers.

Jack

Class isn't something you buy. Look at you, you've got on a 500-dollar suit and you're still a low-life.

Reggie

Yeah, but I look good.

Reggie

Not a very popular place with the brothers.

Jack

My kind of place. I always did like country boys. They're sure as hell going to love you.

Jack

This sucks! A maniac gets ahold of my gun and runs all over the streets killing people with it. So, instead of being where I ought to be, home in bed with my gal giving her the high hard one, I'm out here doing THIS shit: roaming around the streets with an overdressed, charcoal-colored loser like you.

Reggie

Look, man. If you don't like it, why don't you just leave? I can take care of Ganz by myself, all right?

Jack

Hey, don't make me laugh. You can't take care of this shit. You been dicking me around since we started this turd hunt! The only thing you're good for is GAMES. So far, what I got out of you is nothing!

Reggie

Yeah. Well, I'm real impressed with you too, man. It takes a real-skilled cop to kick in the bedroom door of a couple of ****!

Jack

Luther knows more and he told me and so do you. I want to know what the **** this is all about! I gave you 48 hours to come up with something and the clock's running!

Reggie

Yeah. Well, maybe I don't like the way you asked me, all right?

Jack

Who GIVES a goddamn what YOU like? You're just a crook on a weekend pass! You're not even a goddamn NAME anymore! You're just a sprearchucker with a number stenciled on the back of his prison fatigues! And I'm through **** around. You tell me the truth or you're going to get the living shit beat out of you.

Reggie

Oh, you're going to kick MY ass now? I think you lost your mind, Cates. Just put your gun back in your holster and get in the car and let's go. I'm serious. I'm not in the mood and I'm just going to end up **** you up out here and it's going to be an embarrassment to you and the police force.

Jack

Let me explain one thing to you, ****: I fight DIRTY!
[punches Reggie; the two start fist-fighting]

Reggie

**** bastard.

Jack

That I am.

You know, if you let me come over to your place once in a while you could put on a clean shirt in the morning.

Jack

What makes you think I got any clean shirts in my place?

Reggie

You said bullshit and experience is all it takes, right?

Jack

Right.

Reggie

Come on in and experience some of my bullshit.

Jack

I'm looking for Ganz. Where is he?

Ganz? Haven't seen him in years, and that's the truth.

Jack

Look asshole, you took a shot at me so I think you know where he is!

Well, who gives a **** what you think?!

Reggie

Yo Luther man, you better tell this boy what he needs to know, he's having a ball with his car door.

Reggie

Luther, are you angry with me?

Jack

I don't what you're smiling about, watermelon! Your big ass move turned out to be shit!

Jack

So, how was it?

Reggie

I'm not going in for all that macho shit, Jack. I was great. Should have my dick bronzed.

A bus! You goddamn Whiskey McCop! You lost a stolen bus! I got 5 deaths related to Ganz, and you blow it for a lousy **** convict! That's right! I called him a ****! You bet I did!

Jack

Come on.

Now I saw the report on that little piece of shit. If he spends one legal day in his life, it'll be a record! And this is it for you! Suspension, review board! You've had it! When it gets 'round you protected a con rather than...

Jack

Alright, goddamn it! I'm gonna tell you something about this man! He's got more brains than you'll ever know! He's got more guts than any partner I ever had.

Just 'cause you say it with conviction, it don't mean shit to me!

Jack

Let's get out of here.

And where the Christ do you think you're going?

Reggie

Don't you think you're kind of being hard on the guy?

You go **** yourself, convict!

Hey, cop! Come here! I got something for you!

Jack

You're not gonna make it.

What are you talkin' about? I got your gun! I got the money! I got everything!

Reggie

Take aim, man, and blow his **** brains out!

Bullshit! He ain't gonna try it! Right, cop?

Reggie

Are you crazy, man? I was just bluffing!

Jack

I need a car. How about loaning me a couple thousand when you get out?

Reggie

What kind of car do you want?

Jack

A convertible. I'm a rag top man.

Reggie

Deal.

Jack

Good. But even if you do give me the money for a car don't mean shit. If I ever hear that you're crossing the line, I'll bust your ass.

Reggie

Now Jack, the both of us know that I'm gonna be an honest man from now on. Right?

Jack

Good.

Reggie

But if I did decide to be a thief, what makes you think you can catch me?

Jack

Can I have my lighter back, Reggie?
[Reggie laughs]
