"Now you just listen to me on this dark and stormy night. When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if ya paid your dues, well you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that. 'Have ya paid your dues, Jack?' Yes sir, the check is in the mail."
