Robert Mailhouse: Smith's Bodyguard

Quotes 

• [Smith's bodyguard has been mocking Cole's Zen ideals] 

  Jack Cole : You really shouldn't knock Chinese potions. In fact, I've got something in my pocket that'll *completely* clear up that bruise on your forehead.

  Smith's Bodyguard : What bruise?

  Jack Cole : [knock the bodyguard to the ground]  *THAT* bruise!

• Lento's Maitre'D : [Cole drops by Lento's Steakhouse to have a chat with Smith. As Cole goes in, the Maitre'D is on the phone]  ... Hello, Lento's... No, we're closed for a private lunch...

  [He notices Cole but blows him off] 

  Lento's Maitre'D : There's nothing I can do about it... That's what I'm telling you. We're closed today. Tomorrow we'll be open...

  [Cole rings the service bell insistently] 

  Lento's Maitre'D : Excuse me.

  [to Cole] 

  Lento's Maitre'D : Hey, asshole; what are you, blind? We're closed, okay?

  Jack Cole : You talk too much.

  [He drops the Maitre'D with a punch and picks up the phone] 

  Jack Cole : Yeah, come on in. We'll get you a table.

  [He hangs up and strolls through the restaurant towards the VIP area, but is intercepted by Lento's bouncer] 

  Smith's Bodyguard : ...You're unbelievable. What are you doing here, huh? You need to turn around and leave; that's what you need to do.

  [Cole wrenches the bouncer's wrist and shoves him to the floor. Then he approaches Smith's table, where Smith is chatting with a senator] 

  Jack Cole : You don't call, you don't write; and, what's worse, you don't take *my* calls.

  [the bouncer reappears] 

  Smith's Bodyguard : Excuse me, Mr. Senator; I'm sorry...

  [to Cole] 

  Smith's Bodyguard : Why don't you take your little sensitive ponytail, and your little sissy beads, and get out of here. Okay?

  [Cole knocks him through a glass-and-wood partition, and then proceeds to question Smith about the "Family Man's" identity. After doing this, Cole is showing himself out when more of Lento's bouncers intercept him] 

  Smith's Bodyguard : If you ever pull that with me again, I'll kill you. And all the Chinese potions in the world will not save you next time.

  Jack Cole : You really shouldn't knock Chinese potions. I have something in my pocket right now which will completely clear up that bruise on your forehead.

  Smith's Bodyguard : What bruise?

  [Cole flattens him] 

  Jack Cole : That bruise.

  [He knocks out the other bouncers, demolishing most of Lento's in the process] 

  Jack Cole : Do you guys validate parking?

  [Passing by the reception desk, he answers the ringing phone] 

  Jack Cole : Hello, Lento's... No, that won't work; we're closed for renovation. I'd say two months... Yeah, thanks.

  [He departs]
