[J has just saved a whole subway of passenagers from being eaten alive by Jeff, the giant worm-like alien, who chewed off a half of the subway train before retreating] [Neuralizes subway passengers]

The City of New York would like to thank you for participating in our drill. Had this been an actual emergency, y'all woulda been eaten. 'Cause you don't listen. You ignorant. How a man gon' come bashin' thru a subway win-- That's the problem with all y'all New Yorkers. "Oh, we seen it all." "Oh no! A 600 ft. worm! Save us, Mr Black Man!" And ask ya nice move to the next car! Y'all sit there like...
[Neuralizes subway passengers again] The City of New York would like to thank you for participating in our drill. We hope that you enjoyed our new, smaller, more energy-efficient subway cars. [walks off, neuralizing Capt. Lawrence Bridgewater, MTA in the process]

Agent J

How about we do the good cop, dumb dog thing, and you just shut up?

Agent J

Jeff, I am so not in a mood for you! Get back in the subway! Right now!

Agent J

I will lay the smackdown on your candy ass! (In homage to The Rock)

Agent J

Transit Authority, people! We need to move to the forward car, there's a bug in the electrical system. [passengers ignore him] Yo! People! We got a bug in the electrical system!

Agent J

About to lay the smack-down on your candy ass! (In homage to The Rock)

Agent J

Yeah, every Saturday night you'd be like, "Flush me J., Flush me." and I'd be like, "Naw."

Agent J
[After the Worms accidentally shut down the MIB headquarters upon him and K taking it back]

WORMS!!

Agent J
[After neuralizing Newton and Hailey]

Okay, first, get some contact lenses, ‘cause joints look like they can pick up cable. Second, take her to Cambodia. Get her a lobster dinner. Pay more than a dollar. Third, the second y'all get back from Cambodia... move your bum ass out of your mom's house. Boy, you like forty years old.

Agent J
[After K calls for him to leave, to Newton and Hailey]

Oh, and there ain't no such thing as aliens or Men in Black.

Agent J
[after seeing the Grand Central Station Locker Creatures’ ”large adult entertainment section”]

That's just nasty.

Agent J

So what's it like on the outside? Not doin’ this every day?

You're back from outer space, I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face, I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key...

Agent J

Frank, get your head in the car before before I roll it up in there.

[Sits further away from the window]

Got it! [Starts humming "I Will Survive" melody again, looking anxiously out the window]

Agent J

FRANK!!

Agent K

You didn't see a room full of weapons or four alien nightcrawlers. You will love and cherish each other for the rest of your lives.

Agent J

Which could be the next 27, 28 minutes, so get to the loving and cherishing. Oh, and she can stay up late as she wants and can have cookies, candy, and cakes and stuff.

Agent J

Didn't your mother give you a Gameboy!!??

Agent K

WHAT IS A GAMEBOY!!!!?

Agent J

So Laura is Princess Laurana's daughter. [turns to K] Did y'all...?

Agent K

MIB's a mess let's go.

[singing "I Will Survive"]

"... and I learned to get along, and so you're back from outer space, I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face, I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key, if I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me, go on, now go, walk out the door..."

Agent J

Frank! Bring your head in this window before I roll it up in there.

[Sits further away from the window]

Got it! [Starts humming the melody, looking anxiously out the window]

Agent J

FRANK!

Agent J

Wait, what are you doing?

Agent K

I always did the driving.

Agent J

Oh, no.

Agent K

I remember that.

Agent J

No, what you remember is that you used to drive that old busted jawn (referring to the Crown Victoria). See, I drive the new hotness (referring to the Mercedes). [points at Kay] Old and busted. [points at himself] New hotness. [K looks at J for a second, then J hands the keys over] Old, busted hotness.

Agent K
[about the driver-shaped airbag]

Does that come standard?

Agent J

Actually it came wit a black dude, but he kept gettin’ pulled over.
(Note: Will Smith improvised this line, which the producers liked so much they added it to the theatrical trailer)

Agent J
[J is hiding Laura at the Worms' place]

Here's my communicator, in case you need it.

Worms
[Laura kisses Jay]

Whooooh! Nice move.

Agent J

Okay. Uh... just... watch out for Neeble.

Which one's Neeble?

Agent J

Um... err... which one o' y'all's Neeble?

Neeble
[in the hot tub]

Yo, mama!

Mannix

Oy, Neeble.

Agent J

Ah, there ya go. And... uh... don't fall asleep.

Worms
[Jay exits]

Twister!

Agent K
[after K turns on the auto pilot during the chase...]

It is not automatic piloting.

Agent J

He doesn't work when we're in hyperspeed.

Agent K

I could really use a steering wheel!

Agent J

We don't have no damn steering wheel! This is what we got! [turns off auto pilot] Didn't your mother ever give you a Gameboy?

Agent K

What is a Gameboy?!?

Agent K

Kid?

Agent J

Yeah.

Agent K

Thanks for bringin’ me back.

Agent J

No problem.

Agent J
[about Laura being Princess Lauranna's daughter]

Why didn't you tell me?

Agent K

Would you have let her go?

Agent J
[they blast Serleena out of the sky with their space guns as she tries to attach herself to Laura's escape pod]

So what's it like on the outside? Not doin’ this every day?

Agent K

It's nice. Sleep late on the weekends. Watch the Weather Channel. I did miss this city.

Agent J

So Laura is Princess Lauranna's daughter. [turns to K] Did y'all...?

Agent K

MIB's a mess. Let's go, kid.

Agent J

Let's go? Thousands of people in New York and New Jersey just saw our little event. Plan needs to be thought out. Plan needs to be cool.

Agent J
[K puts on his sunglasses]

What you...?

Agent K
[as he puts on his sunglasses, K activates a giant neuralyzer in the torch of the Statue of Liberty using his watch]

Kid, I'll get you trained yet.

Agent J

I want one of those.

Newton
[to J and K]

Gentlemen...before I roll the tape, there's just one question I need to ask; what's up with anal probing? I mean, aliens travel hundreds of universes just to check out our-

Agent J
[annoyed]

Boy, move!

Agent J
[walks up to K, who is now the postmaster of Truro, Massachusetts at a post office; K’s name tag reads ”Kevin Brown”]

Kevin. Heh. Wow. Kevin. That's funny. You don't have a ”Kevin”... You don't remember me, but we used to work together.

Agent K

I never worked in a funeral home. Somethin’ I can do for you, Slick?

Agent J

Okay. Straight to the point. [whispers in a serious voice] You are a former agent of a top-secret organization that monitors extraterrestrials on Earth. We're the Men in Black. We have a situation, and we need your help.

Agent K

There's a free mental health clinic at the corner of Lilac and East Valley. Next!

Elizabeth

Excuse me.

Agent J

Hey.

Elizabeth

20 Rugrats stamps, please.

Agent K

Elizabeth. The United States Postal Service hasn't quite kept up with today's youth, but I can offer you some Berlin airlift stamps.

Elizabeth
[shakes her head]

No.

Agent K

Opera legends?

Elizabeth
[shakes her head]

No.

Agent K

American Samoa?

Elizabeth
[shakes her head]

No.

Agent K

Amish quilts?

Elizabeth

No.

Agent J
[moves Elizabeth over]

I'm sorry, sweetie. Got a world to save here. [turns back to K] There was no coma. It was all a cover.

Agent K

Who are you?

Agent J

The question is, who are you?

Agent K

I'm the postmaster of Truro, Massachusetts, and I'm ordering you to leave these premises.

Mannix
[Mannix lands in the control room.]

Shut down power, shut down power. Buttons, buttons. I'm guessing, uh- yeah. [Presses the button which turns off all the power in MIB]

Agent J
[Annoyed]

Worms!

Mannix

Sorry.

Agent K
[at MIB as Agents K and J prepare to fight Serleena]

You ready, kid?

Agent J

Kid? You know, while you were away lickin’ stamps, I saved the world from a Kreelon invasion.

Agent K

The Kreelons are the Backstreet Boys of the universe. What'd they do, throw snowballs at you?

Agent K
[Agent J **** his gun]

You know what you're doin’?

Agent J

Yup. I'm about to attack one of the most feared aliens...with four worms and a mailman. [Aims the gun at the doors] Let's make it hot.

Agent K

No, no, wait, wait...

Agent K
[Agent J fires a blast at MIB HQ and they all get sucked in due to the pressurization]

A code 101 lockdown!

Agent J

I know, I know! The building gets pressurized. Nothin’ in, nothin’ out. I knew that.

Agent K

Yeah, you knew that. Front and center, worms!

Worm

You got it.

MIB Guard
[Hot dogs from the cart blow in due to the pressurization with the umbrella blocking the hole Agent J made and litter the floor] [brushing off a hot dog that landed on him; reading a tabloid that says "Satan Escapes from Hell."]

It's about time you guys got here. That pretty lady in there is causin’ all kinds-a-hell.

Agent J
(last lines)

Why'd you put them rats in my locker, man?

Agent K

I thought it'd put things in perspective for you.

Agent J

No, Kay, that's actually kinda sad, man. Really, we need to let them outta there. I mean, they need to know the world is bigger than that.

Agent K
[sighs]

Still a rookie. [opens a door, showing that humans live in a locker and there are many more giant aliens outside the door]

Whoa.
