{{quote| '''Cindy''': [[Hero Stole My Bike|You steal my car]], [[Super Strength|you rip the seat out]], you kidnap me, you ask me [[I Have Your Wife|to help you find your daughter]], [[Blatant Lies|which I very kindly do]], and then you get me involved in a [[More Dakka|shoot]] [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy|out]] where [[Mooks|people]] are dying and there's [[Ludicrous Gibs|blood spurting all over the place]], and then I watch you [[Crazy Awesome|rip a phone booth out of a wall]], [[Building Swing|swing from the ceiling like]] [[Tarzan]], and then there's [[Police Are Useless|a cop that's going to shoot you]] and I save you and they start chasing me! [[Expospeak|Are you going to tell me what's going on or what?!]] <br />
'''Matrix''': [[The Stoic|No]]. }}
 
Line 20:
** Bennett deserves mention too, for not only being the only person in the film to put up a decent fight against Matrix, but for getting him ''on the ropes'' in their final battle (though Matrix ''was'' wounded before that fight started).
* [[Badass Boast]]: From Cook to Matrix, answered with [[Narm]] and [[Lampshaded]] by Cindy:
{{quote| '''Cook''': This Green Beret's going to kick your big ass.<br />
'''Matrix''': I eat Green Berets for breakfast! And right now I'm ''very'' hungry!<br />
'''Cindy''': [[Crowning Moment of Funny|I can't believe this macho bullshit!]] }}
** Also:
{{quote| '''Arius''': Mr. Bennett, my soldiers are patriots.<br />
'''Bennett''': [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy|Your soldiers are nothing]]. [[Badass|Matrix]] and I can [[One-Man Army|kill every single]] [[Mooks|one of them]] [[Hilarity Ensues|in the blink of an eye]]. [[Foreshadowing|Remember]] [[Lampshading|that]]. }}
* [[Banana Republic]]: Val Verde.
Line 54:
* [[Faking the Dead]]: Bennett is apparently blown up in his boat by Cooke in the pre-title sequence, but it's only to mislead Kirby.
* [[Follow That Car!]]:
{{quote| '''Matrix:''' Follow him.<br />
'''Cindy:''' Oh, I ''knew'' you were going to say that... }}
* [[Groin Attack]]: A mook catches an axe between the legs in the toolshed scene.
Line 61:
** He kept his word too: There never was a sequel.
* [[High Altitude Interrogation]]: Matrix dangles Sully above a cliff to make him talk. And then...
{{quote| '''Matrix''': "Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?<br />
'''Sully''': "That's right Matrix! You did!"<br />
'''Matrix''': "[[I Lied]]." (Drops Sully) }}
** This one is actually a lot more cold-blooded. While Sully made it perfectly clear that he would be willing to talk, Matrix had already found the necessary [[Plot Coupon]] in his coat pocket before holding him over the cliff's edge. He just brought him there solely to [[Post Mortem One Liner|let him go]].
