Quotes 

• Hans Gruber : Why are you not practicing with your voice? I want you should sing the best when the General comes.

  Lavara : Who do you think I am, Madam Butterfly?

• Lavara : You're guerrillas, all of you. Why, Kaimura, would cut every throat in this room.

  Chen : Including yours.

  Lavara : Oh, not mine. I have to sing.

  Kwan Mei : All throats look alike to the Japs.

• Rodney Carr : How come you talk like a Yank?

  Lavara : Learned it out of a sailor's manual.

• Rodney Carr : Look, kid, let's cut out this chatter. You stack up all right to me.

  Lavara : What's the gag?

  Rodney Carr : No gag. You know, something about you reminds me...

  Lavara : Uh-oh, here it comes.

• Lavara : Champagne! I haven't had champagne in months!

  Gen. Kaimura : There is much more in office. Perhaps later we will go up there and drink all you want.

• Lavara : Look, I might have had a tough life, but I'm still going to hang onto it.

• Hans Gruber : Oh, it's you. What are you doing here so late at night?
