Quotes 

• Mr. Lee : [lying on the floor after fighting with Foster]  Take the money.

  Bill Foster : You think I'm a thief? Oh, you see, I'm not the thief. I'm not the one charging 85 cents FOR A STINKING SODA! You're the thief! I'm just standing up for my rights as a consumer.

• Bill Foster : You're Korean? Do you have any idea how much money my country has given your country?

  Mr. Lee : How much?

  Bill Foster : I don't know. But it's got to be a lot, you can bet on that.

• Mr. Lee : You go now. No trouble.

  Bill Foster : No. I stay. What do you think of that?

• Bill Foster : I'm rolling back prices to 1965. What do you think of that? Donuts, package of 6, how much?

  Mr. Lee : Dollar, 12.

  [Foster hits them with his bat] 

  Mr. Lee : No!

  Bill Foster : Too much. Aspirin. Price?

  Mr. Lee : 3.40.

  Bill Foster : Oh, please...

  [he smashes them] 

  Bill Foster : Double A batteries, package of 4.

  Mr. Lee : Fi... FOUR 29.

  Bill Foster : Nice try. I think this whole shelf looks suspect.

  [he smashes it up. Then he picks up the can of coke that Mr. Lee was originally going to charge him 85 cents for] 

  Bill Foster : One soda. 12 ounces.

  Mr. Lee : 50 cent.

  Bill Foster : Sold.

  [he opens the cash register, puts a dollar bill into it and takes out the change he wanted for the payphone] 

  Bill Foster : It's been a pleasure frequenting your establishment.

  [he walks out of the store] 

• Mr. Lee : Drink, eighty fi' cent. You pay or go!

  Bill Foster : What's a "fi'"? I don't understand a "fi'". There's a v in the word, it's "fi-ve". You don't got v's in China?

  Mr. Lee : Not Chinese. I'm Korean.

  Bill Foster : Ah, whatever, you come to my country, you take my money, you don't even have the grace to learn how to speak my language?
