[while Jack is being beaten up by barroom toughts, Reggie fires a gun into the air. Everyone stops, and Jack collapses to the floor] Reggie Hammond: All right, knock this shit off! I HAVE BEEN HAVING A VERY BAD DAY! I just got out of jail this morning! Already I've been shot at, I was on a bus that flipped over seventeen times, bitch tried to stab me in the bathroom, and somebody blew up my Porsche! I am in a BAD goddamn mood! Now I usually don't step in on things like this, but this man Jack Cates is gonna help me straighten out the rest of my day! So I suggest you all back up, and let us go about our business! Barroom Fighter: 'Cause you got a gun? Reggie Hammond: No, 'cause I have a gun and I'll pop a cap in your ass! Barroom Fighter: I don't think you have the guts to use it.
[reggie shoots him in the leg] Reggie Hammond: Anybody else want a limp?
And the original 48 hours was full of Eddie Murphy at his best:
Luther! Are you Angry with me?
"Tell me a Bedtime story, Jack." "Fuck You!" "Oh, that's one of my favorites."
I don't like white people. I hate Rednecks. You people are Rednecks. That means I'm enjoying this shit. (Helps that it comes on the heels of some lovely Fan Service.)
