[pulls the trigger]

Young Tod: Oh, Big Mama, I know Copper would never track on me down. Why, Copper, he's my very best friend.

Big Mama: Ho-ho, your best friend! Now Copper's gonna do what he's been told. Supposed to chase the little fox in the old fox hole. And along comes the hunter with a buckshot load.

Boomer: [pretending to shoot a gun] K-K-Kabaam!

[Dinky pretends to get shot and falls off the tree]

Big Mama: Elimination.

[riot intensifies]

Kabral: People! People! Can't we all just get along?

RCMP Officer at Headquarters: Welcome to Canada.

Boomer: Hold it right there, Canuck!

RCMP Officer at Headquarters: Who are you?

Boomer: I'm your worst nightmare. I'm a citizen with a constitutional right to bear arms!

[the Mountie explains that Honey has been taken to the capital]

Boomer: The capital Toronto.

RCMP Officer at Headquarters: No, the capital of Canada is Ottawa.

Boomer: Yeah, right. Do we look that stupid? Ottawa!

Roy Boy: Nice try, Dudley.

Boomer: There it is, men. Toronto.

Roy Boy: It's beautiful. Like no other city I've ever seen. It's like Albany. Only cleaner.

Roy Boy: You ever see The Dirty Dozen?

Boomer: That was a cool movie.

Roy Boy: Man, that was real cool.

Boomer: Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Ernest Borgnine...

Kabral: Jim Brown.

Roy Boy: Uh, Telly Savalas, Clint Walker...

Kabral: Jim Brown.

Boomer: Trini Lopez!

Roy Boy: Cool.

Kabral: Trini Lopez? I never could figure that one out, man. What in the hell was he doing in The Dirty Dozen, man? If I was putting together a group of murderers and cutthroats, Trini Lopez would not be in the starting lineup.

Boomer: That's why he dies first.

Roy Boy: Yeah, don't they all die?

Boomer: They all don't die.

Kabral: Jim Brown dies.

Roy Boy: Hey man, what do you expect? Of all The Dirty Dozen, this black guy's supposed to sneak in behind enemy lines and pretend he was a Kraut? Ugh?

Boomer: Uh-huh?

Kabral: That's not it, man. It's just the black guy always dies. Think about it, man. Unforgiven, Alien, Rocky 4, The Shining...

Roy Boy: Star Trek 2, Forrest Gump, Witness...

Boomer: Annie Hall! Not Annie Hall...

Roy Boy: No, Night Of The Living Dead.

Boomer: That's the one!

Kabral: And what about that brother in Jurassic Park, man?

Roy Boy: Oh, that was cool.

Boomer: There was two black guys who died in that one! That was a twofer! You must be really pissed off at that one!

Kabral: I'm telling you, man. The black guy always dies first.

Boomer: Y'know, it's a free country. If he doesn't like it here, he can swim across the river to Canada. Lotta work there.

Boomer: There's not a locked door in the whole country.

Boomer: All right. Enough of this Dirty Dozen stuff.

[pause]

Boomer: Hey, did anyone see "Dirty Dancing"? Now that was a good movie.

Highway Patrolman: Ah, Americans. Welcome to Ontario, sportsman's paradise!

Boomer: Isn't it though.

Boomer: What about Jurassic Park? Two black guys died in that movie. That's a twofer!
