History Awesome / MenInBlack

--> '''Laurel:''' Interesting job you guys have.

---> '''J:''' You see this [badge]?! Huh?! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis N! Y! P! D!]] Means I will k'''N'''ock '''Y'''our '''P'''unk-ass '''D'''own!\\

*** Dialogue between K and Zed reveals that J [[TheCuckooLanderWasRight actually did pick the right target]]. The "monsters" were depictions of scary-looking but ultimately harmless aliens!

-->'''J:''' You need to ease up out my face 'fore something bad happen to you.\\

-->(The sound of the Series 4 De-Atomizer charges ''[[OhCrap from the inside of the cockroach alien]])''\\

* Meta Example -- Especially considering the plot of the film, combined with the title, it really was cool that they got Creator/TommyLeeJones and Creator/WillSmith into the top two roles, which allowed the top billings in a lot of promotional posters to [[MrSmith literally be "Mr Smith and Mr Jones"]] -- a truly awesome allusion to the idea of Men In Black. It's so cool that it's hard to believe they ''weren't even the director's first choices''.

-->'''K:''' A ''person'' is smart. ''People'' [[HumansAreIdiots are dumb, panicky dangerous animals]] and you know it. 1500 years ago, everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. 500 years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and 15 minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow...

'''Alien!Perp''': (out of breath, panting) [[VaguenessIsComing He's coming... he's coming...]]\\
'''J''': [[BadassBoast Yeah, and when he gets here, I'll arrest his ass too!]]

** During the MIB session at the shooting range, there's J's rebuttal in defense of him shooting [[CreepyChild a little girl]] instead of the "obviously" vicious-looking aliens. His explanation? The aliens were simply minding their own business, but then there's little Tiffany--a white girl probably only around 8 to 10-years-old walking through the ghetto in the middle of the night, carrying an armful of science textbooks containing subjects that are clearly too advanced for someone her age[[note]]If you pause at the right moment, you'll see the other textbook she's carrying (the one that doesn't say "quantum physics") says "relativity." So that particular textbook could be something about Albert Einstein's theory of relativity).[[/note]] and walking through a crowd of scary-looking but seemingly not noticing (or caring), so she ''had'' to be starting something.

---->Or do I owe her an apology?
---->(Zed smiles a little)

* A little moment, but while J and K are interrogating Jeebs, playing good cop bad cop. The ''instant'' K shoots Jeebs's head off, J draws his pistol and puts K under arrest. Not even a microsecond to process what happened, just instant reaction.
* The alien bug may be a monster, but there's no denying that his murder of the abusive farmer Edgar is [[LaserGuidedKarma well-deserved.]]
--> '''Edgar''': You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
--> '''Alien''': Your proposal is... ''acceptable.''

* The tow truck driver was particularly ballsy when he faced "Edgar."
-->'''"Edgar":''' Hey, this is my truck!
-->'''Tow Truck Driver:''' Yeah, and make sure you tell 'em that at the impound!
-->(''"Edgar" goes into the truck and grabs his shotgun'')
-->'''Tow Truck Driver:''' (''revealing his own pistol'') [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu Please...]]

-->'''J:''' (loudly, to K and Zed) Hey! ''Old guys!'' (K and Zed turn to scowl; J gestures to the observation towers of the 1964 World's Fair mural) [[EurekaMoment Do those still work?]]

-->'''J:''' You need to ease up out my face 'fore something bad happen to you.
-->(the sound of the Series 4 De-Atomizer charges ''[[OhCrap from the inside of the cockroach alien]]'')
-->'''J:''' Too late. *BLAM!*

* After J dons his MIB gear for the first time:

* The tow truck driver was particularly ballsy when he faced "Edgar".

* While doubling as a CMOF, J is the one to realize how Edgar was going to get off the planet:
-->'''J''': (loudly, to K and Zed) Hey! ''Old guys!'' (K and Zed turn to scowl; J gestures to the observation towers of the 1964 World's Fair mural) [[EurekaMoment Do those still work?]]

*** J being able to chase the alien down on foot -- an alien capable of running up walls -- was what convinced K that he would make a good [[spoiler:replacement]].

** During the MIB session at the shooting range, there's J's rebuttal in defense of him shooting [[CreepyChild an eight-year-old girl]] instead of the "obviously" vicious-looking aliens. His explanation? The aliens were simply minding their own business, but there was Tiffany, a little white girl in the middle of the ghetto in the middle of night, carrying a handful of quantum physics textbooks way too advanced for a kid her age, so she ''had'' to be starting something.
