Dialogue
[edit]- [Carter and Lee are forced to fight Ricky Tan's Triad goons but Carter accidentally hits Lee]
- Carter: Sorry, man!
- Lee: [holds his nose painfully] Carter!
- Carter: All y'all look alike!
- Carter: Hey, baby. Carter. James Carter. Baldwin Hills.
- Isabella: Isabella Molina, San Juan.
- Carter: San Juan! I've been there many times on my private plane. You must know my good friend Pedro Morales Magonzales Morotto Malosso Megusto.
- Isabella: No, I'm afraid not.
- Carter: Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you rode in the best of circles. If you need anything, champagne, caviar, my yacht is your yacht.
- Isabella: This is your yacht?
- Carter: I'm the captain. El capitan.
- Isabella: El capitan....
- Carter: Look, I'm not gonna play games with you. I want you. I can imagine me and you in one of those bathrooms in about five minutes.
- Isabella: Oh, it's such a beautiful yacht. What's it called?
- Carter: What's it called? [Isabella nods] The S.S. Minnow Johnson.
- Isabella: The S.S. Minnow Johnson? Funny. The name on the back was the Red Dragon.
- Carter: The Red Dragon?
- Isabella: Yes. Because this is my friend's yacht. And this is his party.
- Carter: Your's friend yacht? Man, no wonder my key didn't work. All these yachts look all the same these days.
- Steven Reign: Who's your friend?
- Isabella: Someone who got on the wrong yacht.
- Carter: Hey I know you, you're Steven Reign, the hotel billionaire. You must have a private plane as well. It's fun, isn't it? What are you doing out here in Hong Kong?
- Reign: I'm here for the weekend, taking in the sights. [looks at Isabella] Shall we?
- Isabella: [gets up to slow-dance with Reign] Enjoy the party, Mr. Carter.
- Carter: I will, Miss Isabella.
- Carter: Lee, let me introduce you to Carter's Theory of Criminal Investigation: follow the rich white man!
- Lee: Follow the rich white man?
- Carter: Exactly, now you're learning. Every big crime has a rich white man behind it waiting for his cut. Now, in our case we know who the rich white man is. Steven Reign!
- Lee: Who?
- Carter: Steven Reign, the hotel billionaire, I saw him on Ricky Tan's boat. When the shooting started he was way too cool. Now lemme tell you something: when people start shooting, white people ain't that cool. They either running around hiding behind tables or screaming like,... [imitates a scream]
- Lee: You sound like that all the time!
- Carter: Let me tell you something about black people: When stuff goes down, we keep our cool.
- Lee: Maybe, but not like Asians. We never panic.
- Carter: Yeah, right. When Godzilla's coming y'all be tripping. I've seen the movie, everyone goin' "gaicka, gaicka"!
- [Lee and Carter stake out Steven Reign's woman, Isabella Molina, who seems to be retiring for the night]
- Carter: What's going on?
- Lee: [watches as disrobes] She.... uh.... is just standing around, not doing much.
- Carter: Well stay awake, something bound to happen.
- Lee: I try to stay awake...this is so boring. [While watching Isabella undress, whispers] Slow down baby....
- Carter: What did you say?
- Lee: Huh? Uh.... I said nothing!
- Carter: I heard you say something!
- Lee: No, no, nothing.
- Carter: [notices Lee's shifting, gets up from bed] What is going on Lee?
- Lee: She's.... getting undressed!
- Carter: What?
- Lee: She's getting undressed! [Carter forces Lee out of the telescope] Hey! It's not right.
- Carter: LORD, HAVE MERCY! She's taking off her skirt!
- Lee: I cannot hear this! [walks away]
- Carter: Black bra, black panties... Victoria's Secret spring catalogue, page 27. Girl's got class. [zooms in] She got a tattoo, that's cute. It looks like.... Snoopy.
- Lee: Snoopy! I love Snoopy! [Tries to grab periscope]
- Carter: Hold up, I love Snoopy too. [Isabella opens the door for a delivery woman] Wait, it looks like somebody dropping off a package. Hey, that's the same person that dropped off the package at your office.
- Lee and Carter: It's a bomb! [scrambles to the suite]
- [Carter and Lee hit the Vegas branch of Versace where a salesman greets them]
- Salesman: Hi, nice to see you. Can I help you gentlemen?
- Carter: Yeah. I'm gonna need black, 42-long, and nothing touches this body but pure silk. And get my partner something from the kid's department.
- Salesman: OK, would your partner like to be wrapped in silk too? Some people think it's tacky, but I really enjoy it when couples dress alike.
- Carter: No - wait a minute - no! This ain't no couples thing, man. We're police officers; we're working a very dangerous case and we need some clothes.
- Lee: Yes, there are alot of men chasing us.
- Salesman: As well they should be. Listen, you have nothing to worry about, OK? Because I'm going to turn you two into the belle of the ball.
- Lee: Thank you.
- Salesman: Absolutely. [to Carter] Let's start with you, shall we? You've got the mochaccino face, beautiful skin, and the big broad shoulders, OK? Let's put a dead animal on you! Croc-skin... buttercream... buttercream... croc-skin... buttercream...What size is the waist? Let's go in! [approaches Carter with open arms]
- Carter: Hey! Watch it, sweetness!
- Salesman: He's got some fire to him!
- Carter: Honeycups!
- Salesman: I like that!
- Carter: Go get the clothes! Hurry up!
- Salesman: I'll go pull some items. Oh, Jesus! Lil' Kim! I'll be back.
- Carter: [looks to Lee] You saw that?
- Lee: He likes you.
- Carter: [stares] I'm not shoppin' with you no more.
- [at the Red Dragon craps table, Carter has had enough of the harassment]
- Carter: How come you ain't got no black people performing in this casino? We ain't good enough for you?
- Pit Boss: We got Lionel Richie performing here tonight!
- Carter: Lionel Richie ain't been black since the Commodores! How about Peaches and Herb? Gladys Knight and the Pips? Ike and Tina? They can get back together, this is crazy-
- Pit Boss: Sir, please calm down.
- Carter: [with hands wailing manically in the air] I ain't calming down no more! I'm sick, you people tryin' to calm me down.
- [In the penthouse, Lee has Ricky at gunpoint]
- Carter: [just walked into the room] Hey, Ricky. How you doin'? Lee, I see you got everything under control, man. I'mma go back downstairs and.... DAMN! [notices Reign's body] What happened to Reign?
- Ricky: Would you like me to tell you how your father died? [Lee cocks the gun]
- Carter: Hey. Wait one second, Lee. It ain't worth it man. He tryin' to trick you. Don't go too far, man.
- Ricky: He never begged for his life or tried to make a deal.
- Carter: Put the gun down.
- Ricky: All he asked me, just seconds before I pulled the trigger, was that I promise not to kill you. Oh, it was so pathetic.
- Carter Aw, hell no. He done went too far now, Lee. You better shoot his ass right now, Lee. Shoot his ASS!
- Ricky: What are you gonna do, Lee? [Lee's face is showing hesitation]
- Carter: All you gotta do is pull that trigger back and BAM!
- Ricky: Are you gonna spend the rest of your life hiding like your father?
- Carter: Man, don't let him talk about your daddy like that! Shoot him, Lee!
- Ricky: You can't do it, can you?
- Carter: Yes, hell you can, Lee. Ain't nobody up here but us, man.
- Ricky: Just as I thought.
- Carter: Go off on him, man! He tryin' to punk you! Shoot him!
- Ricky: Go on!
- Carter: If you ain't gonna shoot him, kung-fu his ass or somethin'!
- Lee: CARTER!
- [Ricky pushes Lee's hand out of the way, causing him to pull the trigger, barely missing Carter]
- [after kicking Ricky out of the window]
- Carter: Damn! Good kick, Lee.
- Lee: It was an accident.
- Carter: That's okay. We'll just say he tried to catch a cab.
