Lee
Just try to blend in.
What do you mean, "blend in"? I'm two feet taller than everybody in here!
Lee
You are a civilian. In Hong Kong, I am Michael Jackson and you are Toto.
You mean Tito! Toto is what we ate last night for dinner, now give me that badge!
Versace Salesman Hi, nice to see you. Can I help you gentlemen?
Carter Yeah. I'm gonna need black, 42-long, and nothing touches this body but pure silk. And get my partner something from the kid's department.
Versace Salesman OK, would your partner like to be wrapped in silk too? Some people think it's tacky, but I really enjoy it when couples dress alike.
No - wait a minute - no! This aint no couples thing, man. We're police officers; we're working a very dangerous case and we need some clothes.
Lee
Yes, there are alot of men chasing us.
Versace Salesman As well they should be. Listen, you have nothing to worry about, OK? Because I'm going to turn you two into the belle of the ball.
Lee
Thank you.
Versace Salesman Absolutley. [to Carter] Let's start with you, shall we? You've got the mochachino face, beautiful skin, and the bring broad shoulders, OK? Let's put a dead animal on you! Croc-skin... buttercream... buttercream... croc-skin... buttercream...What size is the waist? Let's go in! [approaches Carter with open arms]
Hey! Watch it, sweetness!
Versace Salesman He's got some fire to him!
Honeycups!
Versace Salesman I like that!
Go get the clothes! Hurry up!
Versace Salesman I'll go pull some items. Oh, Jesus! Lil' Kim! I'll be back.
Lee
You just asked everybody to pick up their Samurai Swords and shave your butt!
I said that?
[During a fight scene with Ricky Tan's Chinese thugs] [after accidentally punching Lee]
Sorry, man!
Lee
[Holds nose painfully]
Carter!
Ah y'all look alike!
Lee
I'm sorry.
Lee
[Lee holds up an employee of Ricky Tan and questions him]
Ricky Tan, where is he!?
Employee
I don't know!
Lee
He killed a detective today! Now where is he!?
Who died man?
Lee
[Turns and is shocked]
Carter!
Who died Lee?
Lee
YOU!
Detective Yu?
Lee
Not Yu, you!
Who?
Lee
You!
Who?
Lee
Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth!?
Naw don't nobody understand the words that are comin' out of your mouth!
Lee, let me introduce you to Carter's Theory of Criminal Investigation: follow the rich white man!
Lee
Follow the rich white man?
Exactly, now you're learning. Every big crime has a rich white man waitin' for his cut. Now, in our case we know who the rich white man is. Steven Reign!
Lee
Who?
Steven Reign, the hotel billionaire, I saw him on Ricky Tan's boat. When the shootin' started he was way too cool. Now lemme tell you somethin', when shootin' starts, white people ain't that cool. They either runnin' around hidin' behind tables or screaming like, "AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Lee
You sound like that all the time!
Let me tell you something about black people: When things go down, we keep our cool.
Lee
Maybe, but not like us Asians. We never panic.
Man when Godzilla comes y'all be trippin'. I've seen the movie, everyone goin' "gaicka, gaicka"!
Lee
No! There is people down there!
Lee! Throw it!
Lee
Carter!
Lee!
Lee
Carter!
LEE!
Lee
CARTER!
Throw it!
Lee
No!
Kenny [pointing to Carter and speaking Chinese]
Why are you hanging with 7-11?
Lee
7-11?
Kenny Because his mouth never closes.
Hey! I heard that, I heard that. Don't be talkin' about me man.
There he is: Steven Reign. Living large in one of his penthouse suites. [Isabella walks in to Reign's room] That's her. That's the woman on Ricky Tan's boat. [hands the periscope to Lee]
Lee
He's leaving.
Oh, he'll be back.
Lee
How do you know?
You see how fine that woman is. He'll definitely be back. (lies down in bed)
Lee
She.... uh.... is just standing around, not doing much.
Well stay awake, something bound to happen.
Lee
I try to stay awake...this is so boring. [While watching Isabella undress, whispers] Slow down baby....
What did you say?
Lee
Huh? Uh.... I said nothing!
You said something!
Lee
No, no, nothing.
Lee
She's.... getting undressed!
What?
Lee
She's getting undressed!
Lee
[Carter struggles with Lee to grab the periscope]
Hey! It's.... not-
LORD, HAVE MERCY! She's taking off her skirt!
Lee
I cannot hear this! [walks away]
Black bra, black panties, Victoria's Secret, spring catalogue, page 27. Girl's got class. [zooms in] She got a tattoo, that's cute. It looks like.... Snoopy.
Lee
Snoopy! I love Snoopy! [Tries to grab periscope]
I love Snoopy too, hold on. [Isabella opens the door for a delivery woman] Hey, that's the same person that dropped off the package at your office.
Lee and Carter
It's a bomb!
Now why'd you go and say it was a bomb?
Lee
I didn't, you did.
No I didn't!
Lee
Yes, you did!
I said she was da bomb.
Lee
She was the bomb?
Secret Service Agent James Carter! Boy that sounds good! Give me six months, SIX MONTHS, Lee, and I'll be up in Washington protecting the President.
Lee
Everyone knows you would never take a bullet for someone else.
Yeah, but they don't know that. Did you see the way she was looking at me brother?
Lee
She never even looked at you!
Don't be jealous, Lee. The girl chose me. 'Cause I'm tall, dark, and handsome and you third-world ugly.
Lee
I'm not third-world ugly. Women like me. They think I'm cute, like Snoopy.
Lee, Snoopy is six inches taller than you.
All right Lee.... tell me how they gonna kill us?
Lee
First they will torture us for three days-
I can handle that!
Lee
Then they will cut off our egg rolls
Cut off our egg rolls?! Aw hell no! Don't give up!
Lee
I didn't know what side you were on.
Well, now you know. [smiles]
[In the penthouse, Lee has a gun pointed at Ricky Tan's Head]
Would you like me to tell you how your father died? [Lee **** the gun]
Whoa, now, Lee. He ain't worth it man. He tryin' to mess with you. Don't do it.
He never begged for his life, or tried to make a deal.
Put the gun down.
All he asked for, seconds before I pulled the trigger, was that I promised not to kill you. Oh, it was so pathetic.
Carter Aw, hell no, he done gone too far. You better shoot his ass, Lee, shoot his ASS!
What are you going to do, Lee? [Lee's face is showing hesitation]
All you gotta do is pull that trigger back and BAM!!!
Are you going to spend the rest of your life hiding like your father?
Don't let him talk about your daddy like that! Shoot him, Lee!
You can't do it, can you?
Oh, yes the hell he can! Ain't nobody up here but us!
GO ON!
If you ain't gonna shoot him, kung-fu his ass or somethin'!
Lee
CARTER!
Lee
It was an accident.
Aw, well, we'll just say he tried to catch a cab.
[After a ping tao grenade Lee spits out blows up]
Why the HELL didn't you tell me you had a bomb in your mouth?!
Lee
I did!
No! You didn't!
Lee
I said, "Mmm!"
What the hell is "Mmm"?
Lee
Mmm, boom!
