show all“- Johnny Murata: Ya know, it's kinda like one of those video games... you just defeated the first wave.
- Chris Kenner: Do you know you have moments when you're truly an asshole?”
“- Johnny Murata: I wanted to work in Malibu.
- Chris Kenner: That'll never happen.
- Johnny Murata: Thanks, that's supportive. I've joined you on this quest for personal vengeance and you've got to take a shot at my dreams?”
“- Chris Kenner: I liked that car. And I liked that girl. And I'd like to cut off certain parts of Yoshida's anatomy.
- Johnny Murata: Ya know, you've got a fixation, pal...”
“- Johnny Murata: What did that mean?
- Chris Kenner: Roughly translated, out of the frying pan and boned up the ass with a red-hot poker.
- Johnny Murata: There you have it.”
“Cop. Policeman, Understand? It's bad to shoot me. He's a cop too. It's bad to shoot him.”
“This may sound strange for a cop: Let's get the fuck out of here.”
“- Johnny Murata: Are you gonna kill him?
- Chris Kenner: Not right now... Maybe later.”
“- Chris Kenner: Look, I'm gonna call your chief, tell him it's not working out, and send you back to wherever it is you came from.
- Johnny Murata: Don't do that. They really don't want me back. I have a problem keeping partners too.
- Chris Kenner: I can see why. I hate you already.”
“You have the right to be dead.”
“- Johnny Murata: You know all of that upper body strength really slows you down.
- Chris Kenner: I'm not slow.
- Johnny Murata: You didn't hit me.
- Chris Kenner: If I did, you wouldn't be here.
- Johnny Murata: Not arguing. But you didn't...”
“- Chris Kenner: How long did you study?
- Johnny Murata: Since I was four.
- Chris Kenner: Should've started earlier. That would've helped your form.
- Johnny Murata: I was four! There's nothing wrong with my form.”
- Johnny Murata: Kenner, just in case we get killed, I wanted to tell you, you have the biggest dick I've ever seen on a man.
- Chris Kenner: Thanks. I don't know what to say.
- Johnny Murata: How about "Don't get killed"?
“That's perfect... I'm partnered with a homicidal maniac on a personal vendetta of family vengeance.”
“We've got a problemhere. There are more bad guys than we've got bullets.”
- Johnny Murata: What are we going to call this in the police report?
- Chris Kenner: How about "community relations"?
- Johnny Murata: We blew up the crime scene, killed the suspects...
- Chris Kenner: ...and joined the local parade.
- Johnny Murata: I like it!
