Ethan
How did you come by a name like Napoleon Wilson?
I'll tell you some time.
Ethan
When will you tell me?
Make that in a minute or two!
Ethan
Get away from him! [To Wilson] It would be a privilege if you'd walk outside with me.
Napoleon
I know it would.
Leigh
I'm curious about one thing.
Napoleon
Just one?
Leigh
No, there are other things. But at the moment this one interests me the most.
Napoleon
What's that?
Leigh
Why didn't you climb through that vent and take off down the sewer in the other direction?
Napoleon
Well, there are two things a man should never run from, even if they cost him his life. One is a man who's helpless and can't run with you.
Leigh
What's the other?
[Napoleon stares at her]
Leigh
The very least of our problems is that we're out of time.
Wilson
It's an old story with me. I was born out of time.
Leigh
Black?
For over thirty years.
Napoleon
Still have the gun?
Leigh
Two shots. Should I save them for the two of us?
Napoleon
Save 'em for the first two assholes who come through that vent.
You know Wilson, I'm gonna miss you.
Napoleon
That's not the truth, Warden. You should always tell the truth. Even a little white lie can sometimes trip a man up.
Napoleon
He don't stand up as good as he used to.
He just slipped right out of the chair.
Napoleon
Yeah, I don't sit in chairs as well as I used to.
Wells
Look, they've moved the cars.
I can't belive it. They parked them where they were before.
Wells
Why'd they do that?
Wilson
From a distance, the street looks normal. Like nothing happened.
Like nothing happened? They gunned down five police officers! A secretary, one prisoner, we kill a dozen of them, and that's nothing happened?
Wells
How'd they do it so fast?
Wilson
Maybe they got the good fairy to help them.
Wells
Oh, you really are a smart-ass!
Wilson
That basement's not a bad place to be if they come at us again. The only way in aside from the vent is through that long narrow hallway. We might be able to hold them back for a couple of minutes... at best.
Ethan
We'd be trapped down there. No chance of escape.
Wilson
Well, we're not going to last one minute up here with only eight shots between us. The upstairs is out. It's flat, wide open up there. No cover at all.
Ethan
Someone will come.
Wilson
A man with faith. That's a rare quality. [To Leigh] What about you?
Leigh
I've never had much faith in anyone coming to my rescue.
Wilson
Maybe you've been associating with the wrong kind of people.
Leigh
I've worked with police officers for five years.
Wilson
What do you want?
Starker
Do I have to want something?
Wilson
You're a cop. You're either curious about me, or you wanna give me some shit.
Starker
I don't understand you, Wilson.
Wilson
Curious.
Ethan
You're pretty fancy, Wilson.
Napoleon
I have moments.
Wilson
We haven't even flipped the coin yet.
Wells
I'm gonna lose.
Wilson
You got a bad attitude, Wells.
Wells
I ALWAYS lose. Had bad luck all my life. How do you think I ended up in here?
Wilson
Maybe your luck will change.
Wells
It might... If we don't flip a coin.
Wilson
What then?
Wells
Potatoes.
Wilson
All right.
Wilson and Wells
One potato, two potato, three potato, four! Five potato, six potato, seven potato more! Eight potato, nine potato, ten potato, eleven! Kiss my ass and go to heaven! Y-O-U spells YOU!
Wells
I told you I was gonna lose! Goddamn it, we're gonna do it again!
Napoleon Wilson
Can't argue with a confident man.
Napoleon Wilson
Chains is all I've got to look forward to.
