Old Tricks and Fond Memories

Black Dynamite: Freeze, Turkeys!

O'Leary: I see you haven't lost your tough, B.D.

Black Dynamite: O'Leary? (uncocks handgun)

O'Leary: The old pie in the windowsill trick. I can't believe I fell for that. That was the same trick you used in Nam to save my ass. B.D. took our fatigues and put them on two dead gooks. I remember we circled back and turned the tables.

Black Dynamite: I guess you forgot about the time you and Bravo company left my black ass for dead, huh? But I remember. I remember everything. I remember Vietnam like it was yesterday. I remember that village in Tainan that we cut down. It was a massacre. All the dead Chinamen we left in our tracks. I remember the faces, the children. This one child I'll never forget. Poor little bastard was still alive. His little Chinese legs were blown clean off! Still see his little shins & feet hanging from the ceiling fan across the hut. He was charred from his head down to his little Chinese knees. He tried to get up, but he fell over when what was left of his right leg broke off. As he laid there, flat on his face, he looked up at me. His little Chinese eyes burned right into my stomach, deep into my soul. He said something to me in Chinese like, Boo coo sow!', sounded like some cartoon shit. But I understood it to be a question that he was asking me. And I don't have to know how to speak Chinese to know what that question was. Why, Black Dynamite? Why?

O'Leary: We're a long way from Nam. Look at this place. It must have an eight-track player in every room. What's going on today is a smack problem of epic proportion. Corruption is running rampant and we don't know who to trust. We need you, Black Dynamite, now more than ever.

Black Dynamite: I know I was the best CIA agent that the CIA ever had, but I thought I told you honkies from the CIA that Black Dynamite was out of the game.

O'Leary: You're never out of the game.

Black Dynamite: I've known you for a long time. And there's something you're not telling me.

O'Leary: Okay. We heard about your brother's death. The last thing we need is you running through the streets creating a river of blood.

Black Dynamite: Tell me who did it and I'll just leave a puddle.

O'Leary: We don't know who killed Jimmy. But I do know this. You step out of line, friendship or not, and I'm gonna take you down. Because in case you forgot, when you left the agency, you relinquished your license to kill.

Black Dynamite: Well, you do what you have to. Just don't get in my way.
