• Martin Riggs : Oh. *Leo*.

  Leo Getz : Hey, Riggs.

  Martin Riggs : You want to get yourself shot? Is that it?

  Leo Getz : No.

  Martin Riggs : What the hell are you doing here?

  Leo Getz : I was tailing you

  Leo Getz : I'll leave you alone, okay? I mean, I guess you want to be alone

  Martin Riggs : Okay,I appreciate it

  Leo Getz : You know, when I was a kid, I had a pet frog

  Martin Riggs : What?

  Leo Getz : Just give me a second. Let me tell you this, okay?

  Leo Getz : Uh, I had this pet frog, his name was Froggy. He was my best friend in the whole world. I didn't have a lot of friends. As a matter of fact... okay I had no friends, and uh, I used to kiss the frog, too. I thought maybe, uh, that it would turn into a princess since I was a boy, and uh, it could be my mother. They told me that she left or something, and my father was no bargain, and so just the frog. Froggy was my friend and I really loved him, and I took him everywhere with me, and I was riding on my bike one day and he jumped out of the box, and uh, I ran him over with the back tire. I killed him. I was really heartbroken. Really, he was my best friend in the whole world; the only thing I ever loved. And then I met you and Roger, and you guys really looked after me a lot more then you had to.

  Martin Riggs : Geez, we're terrible to you, Leo.

  Leo Getz : No no, it's okay, it's okay. You are my family. You are my friends. You are not better friends than Froggy. You're just different, and, uh, I just thought that *maybe* that might be relevant. Okay. I'll leave you alone now.

• Leo Getz : Leo Getz, private investigator.

  Martin Riggs : [into phone with fake accent]  Private investigator? Yes, Mr. Getz, I was just wondering if you'd be willing to investigate my privates.

  Leo Getz : Investigate what?

  Martin Riggs : My privates, you stupid shit - shut the fuck up!

• Roger Murtaugh : Since I met you, I done some hairy shit, but this is not gonna happen. I'm gonna be a grandfather; you and Lorna are gonna have a baby. He ain't worth dying for, Riggs. He ain't worth it.

  Martin Riggs : Yeah, yeah, you're right. Hey, if he gets away, we can track him down later on with a - you know, with a Howitzer or somethin'. Your son-in-law's over there bleedin', we should get him and get the hell out of here. Anyway, it's rainin'.

  Martin Riggs : You *are* boinkin' her.

  Roger Murtaugh : [big grin]  Yeah, Yeah I'm boinkin' her.

  Roger Murtaugh : He WAS executed.

  Martin Riggs : Yeah, by the crew.

  Butters : What the FUCK, man? We got people gettin' killed left, right and center in this town; now we're IMPORTING victims? Hey, gangbangers wanna kill each other? No problem. You or me, one of us gets shot? Hey, occupational hazard. But just a normal guy, THIS fuckin' guy? What the fuck did he ever do to anybody? That ain't right.
