Quotes4

  • Ralph: Hey Ira, the kid's here with the broad. They're taking her out to the boat.
  • Ira: Look at those snappers, will you!
  • Ralph: We shoulda just rifled her room.
  • Ira: Ralph, how many times do I have to tell you, "It's not in the country"?
  • Ralph: Well this kidnapping stuff makes me real nervous. It's a piss poor idea. It's nothing but trouble. Look, we've stolen enough of these antique trinkets to keep us living comfortably for the rest of our lives. Let's kiss-off this third-world toilet.
  • Ira: One last big one, trust me Ralph, trust me. Oh! Did you see that Ralph, that ugly, striped son-of-a-bitch down there!
  • Ralph: Someone's gonna get killed, and you're farting around with prehistoric animals. Come on Ira, let's forget about this one. I've got a real bad feeling about it, real bad.
  • Ira: Will you stop worrying. Have I ever hurt you? I will never hurt you, I can't hurt you. We've got the same blood. We're not two people, we are one person! Would I hurt me?
  • [one of the alligators hisses]
  • Ira: Look at those snappers, Ralph!
  • Ralph: [on the phone] All right, cousin, as usual, you got us in some serious shit here. First of all, the stupid dame got on the wrong bus. Now, I'm stuck in some kind of Spic-o military compound. They're mobilizing for Iwo Jima here!
  • Ira: Do they know who you are?
  • Ralph: Oh, oh, do you think I'm going up an introducing myself to every cop in the pueblo? And another little tidbit, cousin--guess who else is here?
  • Ira: Zolo!
  • Ralph: Oh, give the man a cigar! You're goddamn right, Zolo. He got in my car. Not only are we kidnappers, but I'm about to have a close encounter with a cattle prod!
  • Ira: Of all the things you could say to me right now, "I lost her," Ralph, is gonna get the most teeth broken in your mouth.
  • Ralph: Look, bullethead. If they're hiking through the jungle there's nothing I can do about it. I have a car. I am not Tarzan. I have been through every one-horse shithole for a two-hundred mile radius. You should have seen the river I had to traverse this morning. So don't give me any of your crap, you gutless wonder. You have been an embarrasment to our family ever since the day you were born! And let me tell you something else, Ira...
  • [he turns and sees Joan and Jack getting out of a car]
  • Ralph: You are luckiest son of a bitch that ever walked the face of the earth! She's here!
  • Ira: She's there!
  • Ralph: She's right here! She's walking towards the phone. She's with some guy. How do I know? She likes guys! So do you, maricon!
  • Ira: [talking about Zolo] Your little sister took the wrong road. Oh, and that "third party" that I told you about... he's tagging along.
  • Elaine: The man who killed my husband?
  • Ira: The butcher who killed your husband! A very powerful man with his own private army to back him up. And whether he calls himself Dr. Zolo, Minister of Antiquities, or Colonel Zolo, Deputy Commander of the Secret Police, he's still just a butcher!
