Favorite moments/scenes?


Hey guys, what's your favorite moment or scene from any of the Men in Black movies?



Mine's the one where they find that locker filled with tiny creatures and strip clubs, haha. Cracks me up every time.

I loved the one where they have just helped an alien deliver a baby, and Tommy Lee Jones character turns to Will Smith and says "did anything about that seem odd to you?"

I have two favorite scenes. The first is the whole sequence from when Edwards starts taking the test, to when he puts on the uniform and declares that he makes this "look good!". The other, as I've mentioned before, is when the dog is revealed to be an alien, and the weird-looking guy is really a normal human being. There's just so much in this movie, it's hard to pick out a few favorites, but those are the ones I always associate with this movie.

This is an endlessly quotable movie, but here are a few goodies - my favorite lines are always K and J dialogue.

K: "Series Four De-Atomizer."
J: "Now that's what I'm talking about!"
K: "Noisy cricket."
J: "... You get a Series Four De-Atomizer and all I get is a Noisy Cricket? I feel like I'm going to break this damn thing!"

K: "Bugs thrive on carnage, Tiger. They consume, infest, destroy, live off the death and destruction of other species!"
J: "You were stung as a child, weren't you?"

After neuralyzing Beatrice;
J: "Wait a minute. You flash that thing, it erases her memory and you just give her a new one?"
K: "Standard issue neuralyzer."
J: "And that weak ass story's the best you can come up with?"
K (couple of beats): "On a more personal note, Beatrice, Edgar ran off with an old girlfriend. You're going to go stay with your mom for a couple of nights and decide you're better off."
J: "Well yeah, cause you know, he never appreciated you anyway. In fact, you know what? You kicked him out. And now that he's gone you're going to go into town, find some nice dresses, get yourself some shoes, maybe get a facial. Oh, and, uh, hire a decorator to come in here quick, cause - damn."

After neuralyzing the doctor at the morgue;
K: "All right, give her a new memory."
J turns and stares at him.
K (irritated): Make it a happy memory!"


Keep flying, son. And watch that potty mouth!

reply

Mine was after J joined the MiB and he looked at K's car and said "Unlimited technology from the whole universe and we cruise around in a Ford POS" (Piece of sh!t)

I like when Kay gives Jay cover names that are slightly ...whats the word?

This is Special Agent Black.
This is Dr. White

reply

When Kay loads up on the guns and gives Jay the noisy cricket

Any scene in the morgue

Oops was that your auntie?

Jay gives the neurlized woman a happy memory and changing it so that she left Edgar

reply

When Kay is giving Jay a tour of headquarters, they walk past the octopus-looking creatures, and Kay says "Meet the twins, Bweryang and Bob"

Also:

"Don't 'Sir' me young man, you have no idea who you're dealing with". I like the way his jaw muscle jumps when he says this line.

And this scene:

Edwards: Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.
Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.
Edwards: What's the catch?
Kay: The catch? The catch is you will sever every human contact. Nobody will ever know you exist anywhere. Ever. I'll give you to sunrise to think it over.
[starts walking away]
Edwards: [shouting after Kay] Hey! Is it worth it?
Kay: Oh yeah, it's worth it.
[starts walking again, stops and turns back briefly]
Kay: If you're strong enough!

reply

J: Access to unlimited technology and we're driving around in a Ford POS.
(both men get into the vehicle. K fastens his seatbelt)
K: Fasten your seat belt
J: See, we need to work on your communication skills. You'd get a lot better response...
K: Fasten your seat belt please.
J: Ohh, that was goood.....
(K steps on the gas in reverse as J's face gets plastered in the windshield then immediately shifts into drive).


J: NYPD, means I will Nock Your Punka$$ Down!


K: You're still talking like a rookie; stepping on caps and splitting wigs!
