Quotes 

• Jax : [smashes in Reiko's face]  Yeah, these motherfuckers work.

• [Reiko yells at Jax] 

  Jax : Damn, your breath stinks!

• Jax : [after rescuing Cole and his family from Sub-Zero]  Whatever that was back there, it's after both of us. Look.

  [lifts up his shirt to reveal the same dragon marking Cole has] 

  Cole Young : That's... that's impossible!

  Jax : It's not a birthmark, Cole. 'Means you've been chosen.

  Cole Young : Chosen? For what?

  Jax : To fight.

  Cole Young : You got the wrong person, alright? I'm not the fighter that I used to be, okay?

  Jax : No shit, but they don't have the marking. So like it or not, Cole, you're the guy. As long as you got that marking, they're coming for you. And they will kill whoever they have to to get to you.

• Sonya Blade : [after Raiden teleported almost everyone out of his temple]  Where are we?

  Raiden : We are in The Void. It is the realm between your world and mine. Shang Tsung cannot follow us here.

  Liu Kang : [laying Kung Lao's hat down; sorrowful]  If we're to die, it was supposed to be together.

  Raiden : I am sorry, Liu Kang.

  Liu Kang : Without Kung Lao, Earthrealm is lost.

  Jax : Lord Raiden, why couldn't you save him?

  Raiden : Elder Gods are forbidden from engaging in one realm's war against another. It is my job to protect Earthrealm, but I cannot save every soul within it.

  Cole Young : [pause]  No. It's not over yet. We still need to fight.

  Raiden : [giving Cole Hanzo's blade]  Cole, the blood on this blade is your ancestor's. Hanzo Hasashi's. I took it from him the day he died. Use it, and the spirit of Hanzo fights with you.

  Sonya Blade : So, what's the plan?

  Cole Young : We need to fight smarter. We need to control the fight.

  Sonya Blade : How? I mean, they're better trained and better prepared.

  Jax : Plus, they don't mind breaking the rules.

  Cole Young : We need to split them up. Lord Raiden, can you send anyone anywhere?

  [Raiden nods] 

  Cole Young : Well, they don't want a tournament? Let's give 'em one, but let's do it our way.

  Jax : Give me Reiko. I got a score to settle.

• Cole Young : What the fuck is that thing?

  Jax : Funny, that didn't sound much like "thanks for saving my ass."

• Jax : [struggling to make use of his new arms]  I'm useless. Why even bring me here? I can't help.

  Sonya Blade : My first day of training, we had to run 20 miles. I thought I was gonna die. I wanted to quit, but all I ever wanted was to be accepted by you as an elite fighter. You remember what you told me? "Either you keep going and you prove to yourself that you can do this or regret it for the rest of your life."

  Jax : You trying to tell me something, soldier?

  Sonya Blade : Get off your fucking ass, Major.

• Jax : [about to fight Sub-Zero]  I've done six tours, motherfucker!

• Jax : Cole Young. The man that took the belt from Eddie Tobias.

• Jax : [going to find Sub-Zero]  You need to get to Gary, Indiana. Find Sonya Blade, 806 West Washington Boulevard.

  Cole Young : Are you sure? We can take him out together.

  Jax : You want your family on a fucking slab in the morgue? Now get out of here!
