Rush Hour (1998)

Lee: I like to let people talk who like to talk. It lets me find out how full of shit they are.
Carter: What the hell did you just say?

Driver: Is there a problem, officer?
Sang: No problem. Just rush hour.

Captain Diel: Two officers were shot, one man lost a pinkie.
Carter: But didn't nobody die.
Captain Diel: You destroyed half a city block.
Carter: That block was already messed up.
Captain Diel: And you lost a lot of evidence.
Carter: We still got a little bit left.

Lee: Ah! Beach Boys.
Carter: Oh, hell no! You didn't just touch my goddamn radio.
Lee: The Beach Boys are great American music.
Carter: The Beach Boys gonna get you a great ass whuppin'. Don't you ever touch a black man's radio, boy! You can do that in China but you can get your ass killed out here, man.

Carter: This ain't no Democracy.
Lee: Yes it is.
Carter: No it ain't. This is the United States of James Carter. I'm the President, I'm the Emperor, I'm the King. I'm Michael Jackson, you're Tito. I own yo ass.

Captain Diel: Every now and then we have to let the general public know that we can still blow shit up.
Carter: You're God damn right.

Carter: No disrespect, sir, but he's only gonna get in my way. If I'm gonna handle the situation for you, I'm gonna have to work alone.
Agent Russ: Carter, he is the situation.

Carter: First Class, I like this, this is tight.
Steward: Can I take your jacket, sir?
Carter: My jacket? No, no, you can take this bag though.

Carter: I don't want no partner, I don't need no partner and I ain't never gonna have no partner. Did Kojak have a partner?
Tania Johnson: Yeah the fat guy.
Carter: Well he wasn't ever with him. Did Columbo have a partner?
Tania Johnson: Captain Diel ordered me to go with you on that bust because you needed bomb squad back up but once again you screwed me and you screwed yourself.

Agent Whitney: Well as long as we're gonna humiliate someone, might as well be LAPD.

Lee: We can hang in my crib. I will show you my 'hood.

Lee: Why would they not want my help?
Carter: Because they don't give a damn about you! They don't like you! I don't like you.
Lee: I don't care! I'm here for the girl.
Carter: The girl don't like you! Nobody likes you.

Carter: I'm lookin' out for you when I reach the top. I'm gonna make you mayor.
Captain Diel: I'd rather you didn't.

Clive Cod: Let me tell you something, I don't know anything about that, so you can kiss my fat ass.
Carter: Clive, it would take me all day to kiss your fat ass.

Carter: I'm still the law around, clean it up... and brush your teeth.

Lee: I didn't know you spoke Chinese.
Carter: I never told you I didn't, you just assumed I didn't.

Lee: Whassup, my ni**a?
Bartender: What did you just say?
Lee: Whassup, my ni**a.

Carter: We must be... must be a misunderstanding. I was sent down here for the big case. For the kidnapping. The little girl?

Chin: I'm no punk bitch.
Carter: I'm no punk bitch neither.
Chin: I'm no punk bitch.

Sang: The drop will be made tonight. The amount will be fifty million dollars.
Carter: Fifty million dollars? Man, who do you think you kidnapped? Chelsea Clinton?
Sang: We want twenty million in fifties.
Carter: Okay, twenty million in fifties.
Sang: Twenty million in twenties.
Carter: Okay, twenty million in twenties.
Sang: And ten million in tens.
Carter: Ten million in tens. Okay. Ey d'you want any fives with that?
