- [Margaret is captured by the white slavers]
- Sid: Yesss. You're a bit straight, but you've got potential.
- Margaret Winston: You scum sucking pig!
- Sid: How old are you, pussycat? How old!
- Margaret Winston: Twenty-seven.
- Sid: Sorry. This is a game for kids.
- Pop: There are a few, a very few men. Remo. Mack Bolan. Jake Speed. In this case, I think Jake Speed's the man for the job.
- Newsstand Attendant: [while helping customers] Sure he's real. Everybody knows that. In fact, I play cards with him every Thursday night. Me, Jake Speed, Batman - thanks - oh, Sherlock Holmes and, once in a while, Superman stops in.
- Margaret Winston: I didn't know you had that!
- Jake Speed: That's why they call it a concealed weapon.
- Margaret Winston: Who is Reno Mellon?
- Jake Speed: We made it up!
- Desmond Floyd: It's Jake's favorite town and my favorite breakfast food.
- Jake Speed: We were gonna fight our way through enemy territory. Scale the highest mountain in this goddamned place. Traverse a bridge that was about to collapse. And then if we were lucky, I mean really lucky, we were gonna fight our way through two thousand extremely poisonous snakes.
- Margaret Winston: There are thousands of snakes around here?
- Jake Speed: There's gotta be if you look hard enough!
- Margaret Winston: Has it ever occurred to you that there might be an easier way?
- Jake Speed: Yeah, so where's the entertainment value in that?
- Wendy: Isn't that the guy your grandfather was talking about, the guy from the comic books?
- Desmond Floyd: Paperback novels!
- Wendy: Maybe it's a blessing. At least your grandfather believes in somebody. Speedy Jake. Remero. Whatever. Who are our heroes?
- Margaret Winston: Nobody.
- Margaret Winston: What if you sold me to the wrong guys?
- Jake Speed: That would make a piss-poor story, wouldn't it?
- Margaret Winston: If you're such a big deal, why haven't they ever made a movie?
- Jake Speed: Ever try to deal with those people?
- Jake Speed: Why do you think bad things happen? So you have something good to look forward to! If everything was same-o, same-o, you'd die of boredom!
