Sample dialogue
You just listen to the ol' Pork Chop Express an' take his advice on a dark and stormy night when some wild-eyed eight-foot tall maniac grabs your neck an' taps the back of your favorite head up against a barroom wall. An' he looks you crooked in the eye an' he asks if you've paid your dues. You stare right back at that big sucker an' remember what Jack Burton always says at times like that. 'Have you paid your dues, Jack?' 'Yes, Sir, the check is in the mail.'

You just listen to the ol' Pork Chop Express an' take his advice on a dark and stormy night when the lightning's crashing and the thunder's rolling and the rain's comin' down in sheets thick as lead. You just remember what Jack Burton always does when the earth quakes and the Pillars of Heaven shake and poison arrows fall from the sky •••
