Martin Riggs: You want me to drive?
Roger Murtaugh:
No, you're supposed to be suicidal, remember? I'LL drive.
Martin Riggs: Anybody
who drives around in this town IS suicidal.
Martin
Riggs: We both know why I was transferred. Everyone thinks I'm suicidal, in which
case, I'm fucked and nobody wants to work with me; or they think I'm faking to
draw a psycho pension, in which case, I'm fucked and nobody wants to work with
me. Basically, I'm fucked.
Roger Murtaugh: Guess what?
Martin Riggs: What?
Roger Murtaugh: I don't want to work with you!
Martin Riggs: Hey, don't.
Roger Murtaugh: Ain't got no choice! Looks like we both are fucked!
Martin
Riggs: Terrific.
Roger Murtaugh: God hates me. That's what it is.
Martin
Riggs: Hate him back; it works for me.
Roger
Murtaugh: Okay, clown, no bullshit! You wanna kill yourself?!
Martin Riggs:
Oh, for Chriss---
Roger Murtaugh: Shut up! Yes or no--you wanna die?!
Martin
Riggs: Oh, I got the job done! What the hell do you want?!
Roger Murtaugh:
JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!
Martin Riggs: Well, what do you wanna hear, man?!
Do you wanna hear that sometimes I think about eatin' a bullet?! Huh? Well, I
do! I even got a special bullet for the occasion with a hollow point, look! Make
sure it blows the back of my goddamned head out and do the job right! Every single
day I wake up and I think of a reason not to do it! Every single day! You know
why I don't do it?! This is gonna make you laugh! You know why I don't do it?!
The job! Doin' the job! Now that's the reason!
[After
stopping Riggs from shooting himself.]
Roger Murtaugh: You're not trying to
draw a psycho pension! You really are crazy!
[Picking
up a young prostitute.]
Young prostitute: What have you got in mind?
Martin
Riggs: Well, I want you to come home and watch television with me.
Young prostitute:
You serious?
Martin Riggs: Yeah. "The 3 Stooges" are on in 20 minutes.
Martin
Riggs: This is a real badge, I'm a real cop, and this is a real fucking gun!
Martin
Riggs: Oh, Roger?
Roger Murtaugh: What?
Martin Riggs: The guy who shot
me. The guy who shot me? It's the same albino jackrabbit son of a bitch who did
Hunsacker.
Roger Murtaugh: You sure?
Martin Riggs: Yeah, I'm sure man.
I never forget an asshole.
[Discussing
a theory]
Martin Riggs: That's very thin.
Roger Murtaugh: Thin is my middle
name.
Martin Riggs: Considering your wife's cooking, I'm not surprised.
Martin
Riggs: I don't make things difficult. That's the way they get, all by themselves.
[Riggs
is captured by General McAlister]
Martin Riggs: You're General Peter McAlister,
Commander of Shadow Company.
McAlister: I see we've heard of each other.
Martin
Riggs: Yep. It'll almost be a shame when I nail you.
Martin
Riggs: Look, why don't we just the cut the shit here? We both know why I was transferred.
People think I'm crazy, in which case, I'm fucked and nobody wants to work with
me. Or they think I'm faking to draw a psycho pension, in which case, I'm fucked
and nobody wants to work with me. Basically, I'm fucked.
Man
at the office: You know, Roger, you are way behind the times. The guys of the
80s aren't though. They are sensitive people. Show a little emotion to a woman
and shit like that. I think I'm an 80's...
Roger Murtaugh: How do you figure?
Man at the office: Last night I cried in bed. So how is that?
Roger Murtaugh:
Were you with a woman?
Man at the office: I was alone. Why do you think I
cried?
Roger Murtaugh: Sounds like an 80's man to me...
[Repeated
line all the way]
Roger Murtaugh: I'm too old for this shit!
Martin
Riggs: Perhaps there's an opening in the L.A. Fire Department?
[When
Joshua is panting on the lawn after the title-fight]
Roger Murtaugh: Get that
shit off my lawn!
Roger
Murtaugh: Have you ever met anybody you didn't kill?
Martin Riggs: Well, I
haven't killed you yet.
Martin
Riggs: You don't trust me at all, do you?
Roger Murtaugh: Well, I'll tell
you what. You make it through tomorrow without killing anybody, especially me,
or yourself, then I'll start trusting you.
Martin Riggs: Fair enough.
Martin
Riggs: I do it real good, you know.
Roger Murtaugh: Do what?
Martin Riggs:
When I was 19, I did a guy in Laos with a rifle shot in high wind. They told me,
maybe eight or... even ten guys in the world could have made that shot. ...It's
the only thing I was ever good at.
Roger
Murtaugh: See how easy that was? Boom, still alive. Now we question him. You know
why we question him? Because I got him in the leg. I didn't shoot him full of
holes or try to jump off a building with him.
Martin Riggs: Hey, that's not
fair. The building guy lived.
Martin
Riggs: You know they're going to kill her, don't you?
Roger Murtaugh: Yeah.
Martin Riggs: So if you want her back, you're going to have to take her away
from them.
Roger Murtaugh: I know.
Martin Riggs: You do this my way. You
shoot, you shoot to kill, get as many of them as you can. All you got to do is
just not miss.
Roger Murtaugh: I won't miss.
Martin Riggs: We're going
to get bloody on this one, Rog.
Roger Murtaugh: Are you really crazy? Or are
you as good as you say you are?
Martin Riggs: You're just gonna have to trust
me.
Mr.
Joshua: Endo has forgotten more about pain than most people will ever know.
Dixie:
Can I go now?
Roger Murtaugh: Yeah, sure.
Dixie: Thanks, I'm exhausted,
you know how it is.
Roger Murtaugh: Yeah, all dressed up and no one to blow.
Dixie: Yeah you're hilarious.
[After
rescuing Roger and Rianne]
Martin Riggs: Let's get the flock out of here!
Martin
Riggs: What do you say, Jack? You like a shot at the title?
Mr. Joshua: I
don't mind if I do.
