Would you stop rubbing your body up against mine, because I can't concentrate when you do that.

I have a hard time deciding between a Jack Burton or an Egg Shen quote:
Jack: "When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye, and asks you if you paid your dues; you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: 'Have you paid your dues, Jack? Yes sir, the check is in the mail.'"
Egg: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen I am Mr. Egg Shen with this wonderful tour this morning. Sit back and enjoy yourselves, see? Long time ago, Chinese men with gold rush fever flooded into California , what we call Gum Shan 'Mountain of Gold,' see? Leaving behind their wives and children. Working for years to complete the Transcontinental Railroad. Saving all their pennies and then they sent for their families to help build this beautiful Chinatown you see outside your windows on this fine, warm day. Mmmmm."
I don't know why, but the way in which Victor Wong delivered his lines was so winning, unique, and rhythmic that I just enjoy hearing him make that speech.

so many great quotes on this page, it's hard to narrow it down. For some reason even the small unnoticed lines are special to me. There's so many of those...
But Jack has so many classics all by himself: Is it getting a little hot in here?

I'm just thrilled to be alive!
(aren't you gonna kiss her?)... nope

I took something. I can see things people can't see and hear things people can't hear!

"What does that mean? huh? ‘China is here?’ I don’t even know what the hell that means!"..
This line kills me, I have no idea why :)

"Okay. You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president."
