Dialogue
Duke: The fuck you lookin' at old man? Walt Kowalski: Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have fucked with? (spits on the ground) That's me.
Dialogue
Barber Martin: There. You finally look like a human being again. You shouldn't wait so long between haircuts, you cheap son of a bitch. Walt Kowalski: Yeah. I'm surprised you're still around. I was always hoping you'd die off and they'd get someone in here that knew what the hell they were doing. Instead, you just keep hanging around like the doo-wop dago you are. Barber Martin: That'll be ten bucks, Walt. Walt Kowalski: Ten bucks? Jesus Christ. What are you, half Jew or somethin'? You keep raising the prices all the time. Barber Martin: It's been ten bucks for the last five years, you hard-nosed Polack son of a bitch. Walt Kowalski: Yeah, well keep the change. Barber Martin: See you in three weeks, prick. Walt Kowalski: Not if I see you first, dipshit.
Dialogue
Monk: What the fuck are you looking at, old man? Huh? Walt: What the hell are you spooks up to? Monk: You better get your ass on, honkey, while I still let you. That's what you better do. Duke: That's right, bitch. Monk: What the fuck you at? Walt: [approaches and faces them] Ever notices how you come across somebody once in a while that you shouldn't have fucked with? [Spits] That's me. Monk: Man, you fuckin' crazy, man. Get outta here, man. Third youth: Why don't you get your ass up outta here before I kick your ol' wrinkly white ass? Monk: Crazy motherfucker, man. What's wrong with him, man? Monk: What the fuck? This motherfucker's crazy, man. Third youth: What's wrong with this nigga, man? Duke: What the hell? Walt: [To Sue] Get in the truck. Monk: This crazy motherfucker, man. What's wrong with him, man? [laughs] He put his finger on us. Monk: [raising his palms] Oh shit. Come on, now. Hey, pops. Come on, now. Walt: Shut your fucking face! You fuckin' don't listen, do you? [to Sue
Dialogue
Walt Kowalski: [picked up Sue from a confrontation from a gang of young black males and giving her a ride home] What's the matter with you? You trying to get yourself killed? I thought you Asian girls were supposed to be smart. Hangin' around places like that's an easy way to get you into the obituaries! Sue Lor: I know, I know! Take it easy. Walt Kowalski: And who was that goofball you were with, is he a date or something? Sue Lor: Yeah...well, kind of. His name is Trey. Walt Kowalski: Well, you shouldn't be hangin' out with him! You should be hangin' out with your own people, with all the other Humongs! Sue Lor: You mean "Hmong?" No no, it's not "Humong," it's "Hmong." Walt Kowalski: Whatever. Walt Kowalski: What the hell is this? Gangster: Get up. Walt Kowalski: Get off my lawn. Smokie: Listen old man you don't wanna fuck with me. Walt Kowalski: Did you hear me? I said get off my lawn now. Smokie: Are you fucking crazy? Go back in the house. Walt Kowalski: Yeah? I blow a hole in you
Dialogue
Thao Vang Lor: [Walt's smoking] You should quit. Those things are bad for you. Walt Kowalski: Yeah? So's being in a gang, dipshit.
Dialogue
Walt Kowalski: [about Thao] I don't care about him. Sue Lor: You hang out with him, you teach him to fix things, you saved him from that fucked cousin of ours. Walt Kowalski: Watch your language, lady. Sue Lor: And you're a better man to him than our own father was. You're a good man. Walt Kowalski: I'm not a good man. Get me another beer, Dragon Lady. This one's empty.
Dialogue
Walt Kowalski: Relax, zipperhead. I'm not gonna shoot you. I'd look down too, if I was you. You know, I knew you were a dipshit the first time I ever saw you, but I never thought you were worse with women than you are at stealing cars... Toad. Thao Vang Lor: Thao. Walt Kowalski: What? Thao Vang Lor: It's not Toad, it's Thao. My name is Thao. Walt Kowalski: Yeah, well you're blowing it with that girl who was there. Not that I give two shits about a toad like you. Thao Vang Lor: You don't know what you are talking about. Walt Kowalski: You're wrong, eggroll, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I may not be the most pleasant person to be around, but I got the best woman who was ever on this planet to marry me. I worked at it. It was the best thing ever happened to me, hands down. But you, you know, you're letting Click-Clack, Ding-Dong and Charlie Chan just walk out with Miss "What's her face." She likes you, you know? Though I don't know why. Thao Vang Lor: Who? Walt Kowalski: Yum Yum
Dialogue
Walt: In 1952, we were sent up to take out a Chinese machine gun nest. It shredded us up pretty good. I was the only one who came back that day. [opens a chest] Not long after, they gave me a silver star... [pulls it out] Here, I want you to have it. Thao: Why? Walt: Well, because we all knew the dangers that night, but we went in anyway. That's the way it might be tonight. There's always a chance you don't come back. Thao: The hell we won't. We gonna roll up there and test the mags. Walt: Yeah, that's foolish. That's the exact reaction they're waiting for. Go ahead, close this up. [Walks to the door] Thao: How many? Walt: [stops] How many what? Thao: How many men did you kill in Korea? Walt: Thirteen, maybe more. Thao: What was it like to kill a man? Walt: You don't wanna know. Now close it up. Thao: Walt! Walt! What're you doing? What're you doing, huh? Walt: Relax. You can't get out of there. Thao: You let me out right now. You fucking let me out or I'll fucking kill you! Walt: [kic
