The Expendables

– The Good Ship Lollipop, off the Coast of Hijackistan –

Pirate Captain: Give us three million dollars, or we will murder all the hostages to death!

Sylvester Stallone: Ok, here you go.

Pirate Captain: No! Now we want five million!

Sylvester Stallone: Eyeroll. Sure, here you… oh, wait, I left my spare two million dollars in my other pants. Sorry.

Dolph Lundgren: Warning shot!

Pirate Captain: Disappears from the waist up.

Sylvester Stallone: Warning shot? Really?

Dolph Lundgren: What? I warned the rest of them that I’m a mentally unstable Swedish giant with an enormous hand bazooka.

Sylvester Stallone: …well that’s fair, I guess. Hey, is it time for the night-vision gun fight yet?

The Night Vision Gunfight: Happens.

The Pirates: Die.

– Mickey Rourke’s Mechanic Shop / Tattoo Parlor –

Sylvester Stallone: Hey, I haven’t had my shirt off yet, so why don’t you finish up my back tat?

Mickey Rourke: Sounds like a plan. Also, I’ve got a few jobs that need doing. Would you like to take a boy scout troop camping, help an old lady cross the street, or take on an entire nation’s army, plus the CIA, all by yourselves?

Customs Guard: Buys this.

– The Streets of Vilena –

Steve Austin: There’s a broken down car in the way! Quick! Trash the shops, burn the villager’s homes, and shove the car into the rubble!

Vilena’s Thug Army: Really? Is that entirely necessary? I mean, the street is like ten cars wide. We could just drive around them.

Steve Austin: Glower.

Vilena’s Thug Army: All right, all right. Lay waste to the market district.

Eric Roberts’s Caravan: Trundles merrily on its way.

Sylvester Stallone: What’s wrong with this picture?

Jason Statham: You mean how Steve Austin is even bigger now than when he was a roided up professional wrestler? Or how he doesn’t seem to own a neck anymore? Or how his forearms are even bigger than yours, even though I live in constant fear that the veins on your arms are going to come alive and strangle me in my sleep?

Sylvester Stallone: No, I meant the guy who is obviously a rogue CIA operative.

Jason Statham: Oh, him. Right.

The Probability That She’s the General’s Daughter: Is about 100%.

Sylvester Stallone: Say, this looks like a good place to murder a few dozen men… let’s stop here.

Vilena’s Thug Army: What did we tell you about coming here? You just wait until your father get’s home! </mother>

Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham: Murder them gloriously.

Vilena: Population: 1,997 1,950.

A High Speed Chase: Is not possible, since everyone is driving fifty year old cars maintained by Jose the Donkey Puncher.

A Moderately Paced Chase: Happens.

Jason Statham: I’ll start the plane!

Sylvester Stallone: I’ll murder the Customs guys!

The Hot Girl: I’ll stay here and facilitate the plot!

Vilena’s Thug Army: Fires helplessly at the plane.

Sylvester Stallone: Wow, that was close! Do you wanna go back and murder a few more of them?

Dolph Lundgren: Hey boss, got the next job lined up?

Sylvester Stallone: Yeah, about that… sorry, buddy, but we’re going to have to let you go.

Dolph Lundgren: What?!? Is it my tendency to murder everything in front of me, friend, foe, or figment of my imagination, with my giant hand bazooka?

Sylvester Stallone: No…

Dolph Lundgren: Is it my drug habit?

Sylvester Stallone: No, not that, either… you’re just not action-star enough.

Dolph Lundgren: What! Buy you let Cotoure on your team, and he’s just a glorified boxer! And I was in a boxing movie! You might remember it… because you were in it, and all. It was called Rocky IV, and I played the living embodiment of Soviet Goddamn Russia.

Sylvester Stallone: Oh, yeah, I remember, and you were great, really. It’s just that, well, you also played He-Man.

Dolph Lundgren: Sadface.

Jason Statham: So, about that abusive boyfriend…

That Girl From Buffy the Vampire Slayer: He’s over there, playing basketball.

Jason Statham: I’m gonna kick your ass!

Jason Statham: Does.

The Abusive Boyfriend: Mommy.

That Girl From Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Is never mentioned again.
