"You're too old and too fat to be jumping horses..."
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, 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?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."
Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it".
Jack Burton, of course.

Dammit, you were supposed to come back with:
“Me! Jack Burton.”
Have you even seen this movie?
Yup.Heh! Missed that! It's been a couple decades at least since I last saw it!
There were SO many good lines in that movie!
Or " he can't hurt me if he is dead".Stella in Silverado: "The world is what you make of it, friend. If it doesn't fit, you make alterations."
Mr Inbetween, Australian black comedy-crime drama TV series:
Therapist: Do you enjoy hitting people?
Mr. Inbetween: I wouldn't say I enjoy hitting people. You know, if I hit somebody, I generally got a pretty good reason.
T: And you think you had a good reason?
Mr. I: Didn't I just say that?
T: So can you remind me again what that reason was?
Mr. I: Well, they were being assholes.
T: The world is full of assholes, Ray, you do realize that.
Mr. I: Yeah, and you know why?
T: Why?
Mr. I: 'Cause people let them get away with it.
How it should be
They did paddling at our school. It was the gym teacher that did it. I witnessed it a lot. Unfortunately for me the gym teacher was also my karate instructor. All the teachers knew who his students were. If we got in trouble, we didn’t get paddled by him, we where given the option to either spar with him or hold the wall up until he go tired. I always chose to spar, it was quicker. At the next karate practice, All the students would get in a circle and us 2 in the middle. If I or whomever was fighting got out of the circle, he would fight them. It wasn’t fun but lesson learned. I also got beat when I got home.If I got paddled at school, they called home and told Mom.
I got whipped again when I got home.
When Dad got home, Mom told him what I did.
And if he decided I needed more I got whipped with a leather belt I had watched him tool the designs into.
Life in the '50/'60s was different, you and me are not the same.
