Arjen Rudd Quotes in Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)

[Rudd fires at Riggs, hitting him several times. Riggs falls, writhing in pain. Arjen's gun clicks empty. Roger aims at him]

Roger Murtaugh: [shouting] DROP IT, ARJEN RUDD!

Martin Riggs: [weakly] Rog...

Arjen Rudd: [holds up his wallet] Diplomatic immunity.

[Roger slowly rolls his head on his neck, takes aim, and fires - his bullet goes through Rudd's wallet, and then his head]

Roger Murtaugh: It's just been revoked.

[Riggs confronts Rudd and his minions in their office]

Martin Riggs: Hey, don't bother calling the police. I'm here already.

Arjen Rudd: I should have known.

Martin Riggs: Well, well... it's the master race!

Arjen Rudd: I hope you realize the trouble you are in right now.

Martin Riggs: Well, as usual, you people have everything all upside down and turned around and back to front.

Arjen Rudd: Certain policemen in this city have become an intolerable nuisance. They are obviously onto us again. How do you propose to handle it?

Pieter Vorstedt: [with cigarette in mouth] Warn them off. It's my experience that a scared cop is more useful than a dead one.

Arjen Rudd: A warning? Is that not a bit tame?

Pieter Vorstedt: Depends on how you do it.

[about 25 minutes later into film after a very scary warning that still didn't stop the police from bothering them]

Arjen Rudd: Things are getting out of hand. We are suffering too many losses. We have to move the cash in one large shipment.

Pieter Vorstedt: We'll need something bigger than a suitcase.

Arjen Rudd: I'll worry about that. You worry about the police. The warning did not work.

[Murtaugh and Riggs are sealed into a cargo container]

Arjen Rudd: Load the container. By the time anyone finds their bodies, they'll be in Cape Town.

[as the container is being lifted, the car inside bursts out and crashes into the bay, spilling bales of money into water]

Arjen Rudd: [staring] Our money... just make sure they're dead.

Arjen Rudd: Certain policemen in this city have become an intolerable nuisance. They are obviously onto us again. How do you propose to handle the situation?

Pieter Vorstedt: Warn them off. It's my experience that a scared cop is more useful than a dead one.

Arjen Rudd: A warning... is that not a bit tame?

Pieter Vorstedt: Depends how you do it.

[In Rudd's office, Hans meets Rudd & Vorstedt after losing the Krugerrands in the chase]

Arjen Rudd: Hans, come in.

[points in front of his desk]

Arjen Rudd: Mind the plastic. I'm having some painting done. Well now, the important thing is, are you all right? Any broken bones?

Hans: I'm fine, thank you, Mr. Rudd.

Arjen Rudd: Only a few bumps and bruises, eh?

Hans: Yes, that's all.

Arjen Rudd: Good, good.

[pause]

Arjen Rudd: However, we did lose over a million dollars in Krugerrand.

Hans: I know. I'm sorry, Mr. Rudd. It happens.

Arjen Rudd: Ah, it's not your fault. Sometimes these things do not go as planned. As you say, they just happen... eh, Pieter?

[Pieter shoots Hans. He falls dead onto the plastic, and Pieter starts wrapping its edges around his body]

Pieter Vorstedt: You give a new meaning to the phrase "drop-cloth," Mr. Rudd.
