Chow Yun-Fat in Hard Boiled (1992)

Quotes

Hard Boiled

Edit
  • Superintendant Pang: Give a guy a gun, he thinks he's Superman. Give him two and he thinks he's God.
  • Alan: [shortly after Tequila reassured Alan that the guy he shot wasn't a cop] Was that guy I shot really a cop?
  • Tequila: Yeah.
  • Alan: Fuck!
  • [to a baby, after shooting someone]
  • Tequila: Hey, x-rated action!
  • Tequila: You're full of shit, you know that? There's a toilet over there.
  • Tequila: Do you have any dreams?
  • Alan: I do. I want to move to Antartica.
  • Tequila: It's freezing there. You like that?
  • Alan: At least I can come out of the dark. There's daylight 24 hours a day there.
  • Tequila: [Tequila's pants leg is on fire and a baby he's holding urinates down Tequila's leg, causing the fire to go out] You saved the day there, you little pisspot. Thanks a lot.
  • Johnny Wong: [Handing Alan a gun] We either conquer the world or you kill me tonight with this gun.
  • Alan: I have my own.
  • Tequila: What's with all these paper cranes? You bored? Maybe you feel lonely here?
  • Alan: You know, I've always hated making cranes. I make one each time I kill somebody. How about it, shall I make you one?
  • Tequila: No thanks. And if you'll get killed, who'll make yours?
  • Tequila: Should I salute you?
  • Alan: You've got the gun. I'll go and milk a cow if you want.
  • Tequila: Sorry, I don't drink milk.
  • Johnny Wong: Most things go in and out of style - that is with the exception of war of course.
  • Johnny Wong: There is no room for failure now. The innocent must die!
  • Alan: When I'm a Triad, the cops want to kill me and when I'm a cop, everyone wants to kill me! I'm a scared man.
  • Alan: Have you got a cop called Vodka?
  • Superintendant Pang: He's called Tequila. He's a tough cop.
  • Alan: I don't care who he is, tell him to back off. He'll ruin everything. Do you want to go to another funeral!
  • Alan: Birthdays aren't important when you don't have a real identity.
  • Tequila: What are you? It's hard to call you a triad. It's even harder to call you a cop. What rank are you? Sergeant? Inspector? Joker? Should I salute you?
  • Alan: If you like. To you, I'm a criminal. To my mum, I'm a son. To the triads, I'm a hero.
  • Tequila: If all cops were as selfish as you, Hong Kong would be dead.
  • Tequila: Which year did you graduate? Who was your teacher?
  • Alan: Are you testing me?
  • Tequila: I'd just like to ask your teach how he managed to produce such a stubborn cop.
  • Alan: Pang said you don't waste bullets.
  • Tequila: Are you testing me?
  • Tequila: [to Alan] I hate in-house funerals. I write all the music each time. A cop dies, and I have to play a tune for him. I really don't want to do that for you.
  • Johnny Wong: I've got more hostages than you've had hot dinners.
  • Johnny Wong: A cop's just a human being with a gun. He's not immortal. They've got guns. So have we. They just have .38s. Puh.
  • Johnny Wong: The hard-boiled cop. You made it. Each side's lost some guys. We're about even so far. But when I kill this one, I win!
  • Alan: I need to do this on my own.
  • [walks towards explosions]
  • Tequila: Bullshit!
  • Johnny Wong: Maybe my next arsenal will be under a school... or a police station!
  • [in English, unexpectedly]
  • Superintendant Pang: Attention! This is a fucking order!
  • Tequila: I can't afford any of these apartments!
  • Cop: Why not live in a government apartment?
  • Tequila: No way, I make too much for that! Wait... jazz bar! I'll live in the jazz bar!
  • Cop: At least you'll get a lot of "sax".
  • Mad Dog: You know what I hate? Two groups of people: fucking cops and creeps who betray their old bosses.
  • Tequila: You're really full of shit. The toilet's over there.
  • Johnny Wong: Everything goes in and out of style, except war.
  • Tequila: Ah Lung, your son must be growing up.
  • Ah Lung's: He's seven now. I've got some photos here. Let me show you!
  • Tequila: White roses every time? Even my mom knows what's going on.
  • Teresa Chang: [repeated line, in English] Thank you.
