Mr. Kojima quotes from Bulletproof Monk (2003)

View Quote And I am through taking your messages. My name is Kokijima. Not Sony, Sanyo, Toshiba.

View Quote Audience: [Annoyed at film reel giving out] Hey, shit! Come on! Let's go!
Kar: Relax, folks. Enjoy the intermission. We have warm soda, stale popcorn, and dried seaweed snacks at the concession.
Audience man: Hey, dickweed! Fix it!
Kar: I'm on it. I'm on it.
Mr. Kojima: You missed the reel change. Anybody asks for their money back, I'm adding it to your rent.
Kar: They already saw half of it.
Mr. Kojima: And I'm through taking your messages! My name is Kojima, not Sony, Sanyo, Toshiba.
Kar: Whoever heard of a Japanese guy owning a Chinese movie theater anyway?
Mr. Kojima: I heard that, you smart-ass! You have two choices, Kar. You can sit on your butt and do nothing or fly like a phoenix from the ashes of your pathetic life.
Kar: I'm flying! (x2) People, relax!
Audience man: Come on, projection boy! Hey, I'm tired of the white screen! Give me some color here! Hey!

View Quote Jade: Excuse me?
Mr. Kojima: Yes?
Jade: I'm looking for someone. His name is Kar. I asked around and I heard that he works here.
Mr. Kojima: What's a pretty girl like you want to see him for?
Jade: I think that he may be in trouble.
Mr. Kojima: Oh, damn right, he is in trouble. Half the day has gone by and he still hasn't got back with tonight's movie.
Jade: So you're saying that you haven't seen him all day?
Mr. Kojima: Don't worry. Kar can take care of himself. That's part of why I trust him to help me.
Jade: What's the other part?
Mr. Kojima: I just don't know why, but I keep thinking that kid's got potential. So they tell me.
Jade: [Writes out a note] Will you make sure that he gets this?
Mr. Kojima: What am I, a secretary?
Jade: Please.
Mr. Kojima: You're welcome. [Reads note, reciting] “Bad Girl”? [Casually shrugs and resumes task]

View Quote Mr. Kojima: [Nina enters and walks up to at film concession counter] Hello there. Sorry, but the show's been delayed. Can I offer you popcorn? On the house.
Nina: No, thanks. [Holds up badge] Health Department.
Mr. Kojima: [Points to wall sign] Hey, hey, hey, I got an “A”, see?
Nina: You have a young man working for you. He lives here. You're aware that's a serious violation of health and safety codes?
Mr. Kojima: I don't know what you're talking about
Nina: [Slams a vintage film reel case labeled “Golden Palace” on concession counter] Does that jog your memory?
Mr. Kojima: I'm calling the cops, you crazy bitch. [Reaches for phone]
Nina: [Goes around and uses phone cord to strangle Mr. Kojima, whispering] Oh, I'm not crazy, but I am a bitch.
