Men in Black Quotes

A New Recruit's Demand for Respect

James: All right. I'm in, because there's some next-level shit goin’ on around here, and I'm with that. But before you get to beamin me up, there's a couple of things I want you to understand. First off, you chose me, so you recognize the skills, and I don't want nobody callin me "son" or "kid" or "sport" or nothin like that. Cool?
Agent K: [they enter MIB headquarters] Cool, whatever you say, slick. But I need to tell you something about all your "skills". As of right now, they mean precisely...dick.

The Hidden Presence of Aliens Among Us

Agent K: All right, kid, here's the deal. At any given time there are around fifteen hundred aliens on the planet, most of them right here in Manhattan. And most of them are decent enough, they're just trying to make a living.
James: Cab drivers.
