I doubt if they are very funny if you haven't seen the movie; I've seen it so many times that I've lost my perspective a bit... ---------- Jack: "It's all in the reflexes." ---------- Jack: "Over my dead body." Wang: "If need be." ---------- Jack: "A smart man calls the cops." Wang: "Cops got better things to do than get killed." ---------- Wang (to Jack): "The thing is to look stupid." Gracie (to Wang): "He does." ---------- Margo: "This is just so shocking. I mean, I must be so monumentally naive." Eddie: "You are." ---------- Jack: "Wait a minute. I'm a reasonable guy. But I've just experienced some very unreasonable things." ---------- Jack: "O.K. You people sit tight, hold the fort, and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn, call the president." ---------- Jack: "This is gonna take crackerjack timing, Wang." ---------- Jack: "I don't get it..." Lo Pan (interrupting): "Shut up, Mr. Burton. You are not put upon this world to 'get it.'" ---------- Jack: "Everybody relax. I'm here." ---------- Margo: "Call the cops, Jack. You're not a one man army." Jack: "Cops got better things to do than get killed." ---------- Wang: "A brave man likes the feel of nature on his face, Jack."

Egg: "I mean black blood of the earth." ---------- Egg (to monster): "You will come out no more!" Jack: "What?!? Huh?!? What'll come out no more?!?" --------- Egg: "Now for some more bad news. Ready? Jack: "You mean this gets worse? C'mon!" ---------- Jack: "What's in the flask, Egg? Magic potion? Egg: "Yeah." Jack: "Thought so. Good. Whadda we do, drink it?" Egg: "Yeah." Jack: "Good. I thought so." ---------- Jack: "Hey. You never know 'til you try." ---------- Jack: "Terrific. What more could a guy ask for?" Egg: "Ohhhh... six demon bag!" ---------- Wang: "Here's to the army and navy, and the battles they have won, here's to America's colors, the colors that never run." Jack: "May the wings of liberty never lose a feather." ---------- Margo: "God, aren't you even gonna kiss her goodbye?" Jack: "Nope." ---------- Jack: "We really shook the pillars of heaven, didn't we, Wang?" Wang: "No horseshit, Jack." Jack:"No horseshit." -- "Brave, foolish, or both-- there is | Andrew B.
