Memorable TV or movie line?

my first one was easy, here's a challenge for you:

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked 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?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."​

Ian, this sounded very familiar, but I couldn't remember where, so I cheated and Googled... and that doesn't match at all what I would have guessed.
