Samuel L. Jackson credited as playing...
Elmo McElroy
- Elmo: [explaining his new drug to Durant] MDMA utilizes Serotonin. Opiates, like heroin, utilize dopamine. Sort of like the same sensation you get after sex. Amphetamines increase adrenaline. And cocaine gets those synapses in the brains firing really fast. My product is 51 times stronger than cocaine, 51 times more hallucinogenic than acid, and 51 times more explosive than ecstasy. It's like getting a personal visit... from God!
- Durant: It's that good?
- [first lines]
- Elmo: I mean, rules are like, arbitrary, you know. Made up for people who believe in fairy tales like, you know, like Santa Claus. Hey, but not us, right? I mean, we know what's important. There's a war going on, man. A war. Ain't that a bitch?
- [cop sucks his teeth]
- Elmo: I just graduated today, man. With honors. Got my degree in pharmacology. I'm licensed. Look, if you write me up on this drug charge, I won't be able to practice. So what we're talking about here is, is my life. The rest of it.
- [cop lights joint, takes one hit, then discards it]
- L.A. Highway Patrol: The Sixties are over... MAN!
- [as the nightclub gets raided by cops]
- Elmo: Aw, fuck... Can't a brother just deal some GODDAMN DRUGS?
- Elmo: Ain't that always the way? Elevator music, a nigger in a kilt, and a chick with a nickel-plated nine.
- The Lizard: It ain't often that a blowed-up motherfucker gets to chat to the motherfucker that blowed him up!
- Elmo: You got that right. Usually, the blowed-up motherfucker has the courtesy to stay blowed up.
- The Lizard: I'll try to be more accommodating next time, Elmo.
- Elmo: Ain't that always the way. Elevator playing music, a nigga in a kilt, and a chick with a nickel-plated nine.
- Elmo: [crowd cheers him as he talks] 40 years ago a rock and roll revolution started in this town. Tonight we are going to start a new revolution. One that will rock and roll your senses and you are my test pilots. So let's get ready to party! You are going to kiss the sun and taste the motherfucking rainbow! Are you ready? Are you ready?
- The Lizard: [Elmo's cell phone message] He fucked me. I'm truly ass-invaded.
- [exploson in backround]
- Elmo: Rest In Peace
- [opens the window and throws phone away]
- Elmo: Motherfucker.
- The Lizard: [over the cell phone] You fucked me. I'm truly ass-invaded!
- [explosion in background]
- Elmo: Rest In Peace,
- [throws cell phone out the window]
- Elmo: motherfucker.
