Charlie Wax
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: This motherfucker hates Americans so much, even though we saved his country's ass in not only one world war but two, he still won't let me through with my cans!
- James Reece: [points a gun at a man] Stop! Give me your charger!
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: Yeah! That's the big boss shit I'm looking for
- James Reece: [pulls hammer on gun] Give me your charger!
- [the man gives Reece his charger]
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: What the fuck are you doing man?
- James Reece: What the fuck does it look like I'm doing? I'm charging my fucking cell.
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: [after buying 5 grams of cocaine] All right, give me a kilo.
- Rashid: A kilo? You think this is Bogota?
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: What the fuck am I gonna do with five grams?
- Rashid: [pulling out a gun] Maybe you can sniff it off of your homeboy's ass.
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: Shoot the fucker.
- James Reece: I'm not gonna shoot him, Wax.
- [two men come in and start beating up Reece, Wax shakes his head and continues looking out the window with binoculars. Finally he pulls out a gun and shoots the two men]
- James Reece: [Walks over to Reece and hands him a big vase] Next time I tell you to shoot the fucker, shoot the fucker!
- James Reece: I'm not your driver. I'm your partner.
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: Yeah, you're the chess player. I read your file.
- James Reece: You play?
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: Do I look like I play board games?
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: Nice work Reece.
- James Reece: [splattered in blood] What's so nice about it?
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: How 'bout the fact that he's dead and you're alive.
- James Reece: How many more of them do you think there are?
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: Last census, about a billion.
- [Reece is beating the crap out of Rashid]
- James Reece: GIVE ME BACK MY FUCKIN' RING!
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: That's what I'm talkin' about! Get him back!
- James Reece: [after Wax admitted fabricating the story about the Secretary of Defense's niece] I don't know where the fuck we're going, or what the fuck this is about!
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: What the fuck do you think this is about? It's about terrorists! It's about terrorists, man, converting their finances into drugs so they can move it around without being detected.
- James Reece: [Mocking Wax's earlier statement] Wax on, Wax off.
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: What about it?
- James Reece: I don't get it. Are you The Karate Kid or something?
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: If you wanna be a secret agent man, you have to roll like a secret agent man. It's code.
- James Reece: Code?
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: Yeah. Code. Wax is on, he's gonna take you off. Gives them something to think about, throws them off balance. Got it?
- James Reece: Got it.
- FBI agent Charlie Wax: Good.
