how can I understand this sentence in a movie?
This is the sentence that was said by the black dude to jackie chan in the film called "The Rush Hour"

- You aren't the only one with quick hands, are you?
This is said after his has enclosed jackie's hand in the handcuffs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx7hmZU9dxo&feature=youtu.be&t=5m14s

The only problem is, even though I read the subtitles, I can't hear anything of the sort. I've rewound the same piece numerous times, still no result.

Any suggestions?

Answer

This is AAVE. African American Vernacular English. It's an accent and another way of speaking English, more common with black people and people who grew up with black communities. The subtitles are just paraphrasing what he said.

Answer

Black dude is Chris Tucker.  This is a different way for Tucker to say,   
“See I have quick hands too, same as you.”

It is funny because Chan is famous for his quick hands.  I hope that helps.  
Thank you for the you tube link.  That helped me to understand.

Answer

More phonetically, he says: "You aint da only one wid quick hands are ya. Waaa!
