• 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 : [nods]  Thanks. I don't know what to say.

  Johnny Murata : How about "Don't get killed"?

  Chris Kenner : Don't get killed.

  Johnny Murata : You too.

• Johnny Murata : Ya know, it's kinda like one of those video games... you just defeated the first wave.

• Johnny Murata : You have the right to be dead.

• Chris Kenner : Hey, she was frightened.

  Johnny Murata : Yeah, I saw you strip down for that hot tub. I'd be frightened, too...

• Johnny Murata : Listen, will you do this right? Clean? Like a cop in the 20th century, not some samurai warrior? We're gonna nail this guy. And when we get done... we're gonna go eat fish off those naked chicks!

• [last lines] 

  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!

• [Kenner says some words in Japanese] 

  Johnny Murata : What did that mean?

  Det. Kenner : Roughly translated, out of the frying pan and boned up the ass with a red-hot poker.

  Johnny Murata : There you have it.

• Johnny Murata : Cop. Policeman, Understand? It's bad to shoot me. He's a cop too. It's bad to shoot him.

• Johnny Murata : This may sound strange for a cop: Let's get the fuck out of here.

• Johnny Murata : You know all of that upper body strength really slows you down.

  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...

• Johnny Murata : We've got a problem here. There are more bad guys than we've got bullets.

• [Kenner is aiming a gun at the main bad guy and is shaking with rage] 

  Johnny Murata : You don't like this guy? I can understand you don't like this guy. But you shoot him, and you're scum. You give up everything you are champ, all your Japanese Warrior bullshit! And you'll get me killed too!

  [No response from Kenner, who is sweating with rage at seeing the murderer of his parents in front of him] 

  Johnny Murata : Can you hear me in there?

  Det. Kenner : [Takes a breath]  Yeah.

  Johnny Murata : Well? Are you gonna kill him?

  Det. Kenner : Not right now. Maybe later.

• 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...

• Det. Kenner : [Jonny beats up some guys to let Kenner through]  How long did you study?

  Johnny Murata : Since I was four.

  Det. 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 : 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 : Malibu's Sheriff's Department, not LAPD.

  Johnny Murata : Really? Damn.

• Chris Kenner : [they've been partners less than a day]  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.

• Johnny Murata : We do this right. Like a cop in the 20th century and not some warrior, we're gonna get this guy. And when we're done we're gonna go eat fish off those naked chicks!

• Johnny Murata : There's nothing wrong with my form!

• Johnny Murata : [about to enter the Bansai Club]  I'm warning you, I don't eat raw fish. But that's just me.

• Johnny Murata : [sees Japanese businessmen eating sushi off of a naked woman]  You know that thing I said about the fish? I can change my mind...

• Johnny Murata : That's perfect... I'm partnered with a homicidal maniac on a personal vendetta of family vengeance.

• Chris Kenner : He's Yakuza, a perversion of the warrior class. It dates back to the 12th century.

• Johnny Murata : So shall we get down and kick some ass?

  Chris Kenner : No. I'm gonna enjoy being dead for a while.

• Johnny Murata : [to Kenner]  Listen you Zen warrior, fucking samurai asshole! I wanna know what's up!

• Johnny Murata , Chris Kenner : [after crashing a van into Yoshida's drug factory]  Knock, Knock! We're Here!

• Johnny Murata : Nelson sent me. I'm your new partner.

  Chris Kenner : Well, looks like they all got away. Good job, officer.

  Chris Kenner : How many?

  Johnny Murata : I'm not sure yet. Many, many!

• Chris Kenner : [about to enter a bathhouse to arrest Yoshida]  Are you scared?

  Johnny Murata : [Comically leans down, smells his socks, then stands back upright]  Nah!

  Chris Kenner : You should be!

• Chris Kenner : [Trying to arrest Yoshida]  Gimme an excuse to kill you.

  Yoshida : Name your price.

  Johnny Murata : I always wanted a Porsche!

• Johnny Murata : [Holding an unconscious suspect]  Should I read him his rights?

  Chris Kenner : Sure, if it makes you feel any better. I don't think he's conscious.

  Johnny Murata : [Looks at the suspect again, realizes he's unconscious]  I think you're right.

• Chris Kenner : Take the car, follow Yoshida.

  [Runs off down the hill towards Yoshida's house to rescue Minako]

  [Kenner doesn't turn around - continues running towards Yoshida's house] 

  Johnny Murata : There's gotta be nine guys in there!

• Johnny Murata : [after being surrounded by Yoshida's men, Johnny produces various coins in his hand]  Maybe we should've paid the cover!

• Chris Kenner : [Driving to the rear of the Bansai club]  I can't exactly get in the front here, they don't like me.

  Johnny Murata : Why aren't I surprised?

• Johnny Murata : [Johnny and Chris are being tortured with electrical nodes]  In between cooking cycles you're supposed to baste us!

  Chris Kenner : That's right, you FUCKING IDIOTS!

• Johnny Murata : [Johnny and Chris are being tortured with electrical nodes]  Really, we don't know anything.

  Chris Kenner : He's gonna do this anyway. Don't beg.

  Johnny Murata : Beg? FUCK YOU!

• Johnny Murata : [after unsuccessfully trying to interrogate a Yakuza suspect]  I don't think Bozohead speaks English.

• Chris Kenner : A warrior who knows only one side leaves himself vulnerable to attack. Many of the greatest samurai also wrote haiku.

  Johnny Murata : Those poems that don't rhyme...

• Johnny Murata : [after seeing Angel's decapitated body]  Y'know... this is a weird part of town!

• Johnny Murata : [after their suspect commits suitcide in the interrogation room]  What the fuck did he do?

  Chris Kenner : He made his choice. In his world, that was the honorable way to die.

  Johnny Murata : What world is that?

• Johnny Murata : Asian Task Force.
