From my favorite action flick of all time, and favorite one liner, name this pic:

"Bitches.

Leave."  
And runner up for my favorite action movie one(two)-liner, name this pic:

“What happened to Sully?  
I had to let him go.”

The Long Kiss Goodnight, I believe.

Whatever the name of the movie, it had to do with the lead (a female) chopping up vegetables really fast. She had recently aquired amnesia, and coudln’t remember what her previous occupation was (assasin), and deduced that since she could chop things up fast, she must have been a chef.
