Jack Burton: What the hell does that mean? huh? China is here, I don't even know what the hell that means, all I know is this "Lo Pan" character comes out of thin air in the middle of a goddamn alley while his buddies are flying around on wires cutting everybody to shreds, and he just stands there waiting for me to drive my truck straight through him, with light coming out of his mouth!

Wang Chi: Jack please...

[lightning strikes and Wang becomes silent]

Uncle Chu: WHAT HAPPENED!

Wang Chi: He didnt uncle Chu, not like he says.

Jack Burton: [diverting from his phone call] Sure did uncle Chu, 2 hours ago, Tall guy Weird clothes, first you see him then you don't.

[back to his call]

Jack Burton: yeah, is this just a switch board or something...

Uncle Chu: Lo Pan appeared on the street? Wang Chi why didn't you tell me?

Wang Chi: We didn't want to alarm you uncle.

Jack Burton: [on his phone call] I'm gonna tell you about an accident and I dont want to hear an act of god alright.

[enter Eddie]

Eddie: Good Afternoon Mr. Wong

Wang Chi: Eddie, meet my dear friend Jack Burton. Jack, Eddie is the new maitre'd here at the Black Pool.

Uncle Chu: And a whole lot more.

Jack Burton: [on his phone call] I don't know my policy number, it's in the glove compartment, just look under B.U.R.T.O.N. alright.

Uncle Chu: Jack Burton?

[Jack turns to his name being called]

Uncle Chu: Wow, the guy you always told me about huh? So that was your abandon truck.

Jack Burton: Yeah, abandon like hell.

[to the phone]

Jack Burton: Hey! Hello! Hello! AAHHH Christ.

Eddie: Bad news. The Lords of Death stole it after you ran away.

Jack Burton: They stole my truck?

Wang Chi: It's ok Jack, you're with friend, we'll find it for you.

Jack Burton: You're Goddamn right your gonna help me find it, and my money, and time is money to a guy lik me...

[points to uncle Chu]

Jack Burton: ... and your phone is dead by the way.

Lo Pan: And when I find her, I will marry her...

Wang Chi: Never!

Lo Pan: Ching Dai will be appeased, my curse will be lifted!

Jack Burton: And you can go on to rule the universe from beyond the grave.

Lo Pan: Indeed!

Jack Burton: Or check into a psycho ward, whichever comes first, right?

Wang Chi: Jack, will you...?

Jack Burton: "Jack" what? I'm supposed to buy this shit? 2000 years, he can't find one broad to fit the bill? Come on, Dave, you must be doing something seriously wrong!

Lo Pan: There have been others, to be sure. There are always others. But you know, Mr. Burton, the difficulties between men and women. How seldom it works out? Yet we all keep trying, like fools.

Jack Burton: [tapping on the walls] Two, three feet thick, I'll bet. Probably welded shut from the outside, and covered with brick by now!

Wang Chi: Don't give up, Jack!

Jack Burton: Oh, okay, I won't, Wang! Let's just *chew* our way outta here.

Wang Chi: Nothin' or double, Jack.

Wang Chi: Jack, listen, I need more of your help. I can't pay you today, okay?

Jack Burton: Oh, shit.

Wang Chi: How can I? I need all my cash for Miao Yin.

Eddie: And it's gonna cost. She's got green eyes.

Gracie: Oh no, seriously? Oh, that's an extra to these people. It's like leather bucket seats, it's double the price.

Lo Pan: [Yells at Wang in Chinese after growing frustrated with Jack's dismissive attitude] Mr. Burton, if you have an influence over your youthful friend, you better exert it now. Otherwise, I will have you both brought out to the hell where people are skinned alive, it's that simple, understand?

Jack Burton: [Leans forward] Are you crazy, is that your problem?

Wang Chi: No, he means it, Jack.

Jack Burton: Wang, these guys, these Sing Dings...

Wang Chi: Chang Sings.

Jack Burton: They got enemies?

Wang Chi: Wing Kong.

Jack Burton: Who wear red turbans?

Wang Chi: [sees they're now surrounded by Wing Kong warriors] Holy SHIT! These guys are animals, Jack!

Wang Chi: They got this sorta clubhouse thing, you know, where they all hang out.

Jack Burton: Sharpen their knives, huh?

Wang Chi: I can't ask you to...

Jack Burton: Where is it?

Wang Chi: Thank you, Jack.

Wang Chi: Jack, first I gotta go somewhere, Jack.

Jack Burton: No, you don't.

Wang Chi: Yeah, I do. So how 'bout we meet at my restaurant in a few hours, you know? I pay the money then.

Jack Burton: Pay the money now! Where you gotta go?

Wang Chi: The airport.

Jack Burton: Yeah, right. Over my dead body.

Wang Chi: If need be.

Wang Chi: [after Wang defeats all the warriors in the warehouse] Time to go!

Wang Chi: That's why the bottle didn't slice. My mind and my spirit are goin' north and south.
