buy the ticket, take the ride

(from Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas)
Creating, and being involved in, a situation that may get you in way over your head-- but deciding that turning back would be a rather uninteresting option
When Kenny and Chris realized that they'd invited six uninhibited drunkards to go boating with them for an entire weekend, they briefly reconsidered going at all.

Chris: Oh well-- buy the ticket, take the ride.

Take it in blood

A street phrase meaning if you're going to rob someone, kill them as well. usually said by the one being robbed as a show of pride because they'd rather be killed then embarrassed by being robbed.

Also an awesome Nas song.

Robber: "Give me your money!"
Victim: "Take it in blood, I'm not going to be embarrassed like this."

ex. 2
Nas: "Time is money when it comes to mine, take it in blood."

can't take a hint

Can't understand an innuendo, or can't connect the ideas and find out that there's an implicit meaning there.
I was acting uninterested the whole time and even avoiding him, but the flirty boy can't take a hint.

take the grenade

To sacrafice yourself by feigning interest in the hot girl's/guy's fat/ugly/annoying friend. Generally done while going out with a group of people, as it would be senseless to fall on the grenade solo.

see also fall on the grenade, jump on the grenade, sit on the grenade.
Rupert: Thanks for taking the grenade last night, man. It was totally sweet hooking up with that really hot girl. How was hooking up with her ugly friend?"

Cornelius: Not so bad once I got the brown paper bag over her head.

takeshi kitano

Quite simply one of the best directors in the world right now, as well as being the epitome of cool in his acting persona, "Beat" Takeshi (taken from his stint in stand-up double act, The Two Beats) in most of his own films, as well as the likes of Battle Royale, Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, Gonin and (oops) Johnny Mnemonic.

Best known for his Yakuza films (such as Sonatine and Brother), as well as Hana-bi and the truly fantastic Zatoichi - both of which winning the Venice Film Festival in 1997 and 2003 respectively.

Also known for presenting Takeshi's Castle - which makes as much sense as Francis Ford Coppola's Saturday Night Takeaway if you think about it. Not to be confused with the qually brilliant and prolific (if borderline deranged) Takashi Miike.
