Cuervo Jones Quotes in Escape from L.A. (1996)

[explaining the basketball rules to Snake]

Cuervo Jones: Two hoops, full court. Ten-second shot clock. Miss a shot, you get shot. Shot clock buzzer goes off before you shoot, you get shot. Two points for a basket, no three-point bullshit. All you gotta do is get ten points. That's it.

[pause]

Cuervo Jones: By the way, nobody's ever walked off that court alive. Nobody.

[to the crowd]

Cuervo Jones: I give you the death of SNAKE PLISSKEN!

Cuervo Jones: That looks like Snake Plissken!

Utopia: Who?

Cuervo Jones: He used to be a gunfighter. He kind of faded out of the scene a few years ago. I hear he slowed down some.

Utopia: He don't look that slow Cuervo!

Cuervo Jones: Nobody rolls into town and direspects me! Not Snake Plissken, not nobody! Bolas!

Cuervo Jones: Hey, Presidente, silence is golden, no? Don't tell me you didn't enjoy this just a little bit. I mean, if your wife's anything like your daughter, she's sweet, but you can just shut her up.

Utopia: Hey, knock it off, Cuervo.

Cuervo Jones: Some people think you're already dead, Snake. Some say you never will be. Though you may have survived Cleveland. You may have escaped from New York. But this is L.A., vato. And you're about to find out that this fucking city can kill anybody!

Cuervo Jones: Bend over mister President.
