From Carrot's Movie Quote Hall of Fame

Jack Burton: When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against a bar room wall, looks you straight in the eye and 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?" [pause] "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

— Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
