Wells

In my situation, days are like women - each one's so damn precious, but they all end up leaving you.

Wells

In the meantime, I got this plan. It's called "Save Ass". And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a bastard!

Wilson
[Wells and Wilson decide who will escape to go for help]

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
[Wells loses]

I told you I was gonna lose! Goddamn it, we're gonna do it again!

Wells

Look, they've moved the cars.

Bishop

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.

Bishop

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!
