Page 3 of 4[McClane shows up to stop Simon while he's having sex with Katya]
Hey, dickhead. Did I come at a bad time?
[Katya, furious, shoots at McClane's helicopter. Zeus laughs]
Whoa-ho! I think she's pissed at you, McClane! [chuckles]
Mischa
[One of the guards has been trapped by Simon's men in his office and doesn't see Katya opening the door into the room. He manages to contact the front desk, not knowing that the front desk guard has been replaced by one of Simon's men]
Front desk.
Federal Reserve Guard #2 Yes, call the police! Get your ass down here right now! I'm under attack!
Mischa
Hey, just relax mate! Maybe you'll live through this!
[The guard, not trusting Mischa, grabs a shotgun and starts firing towards the door behind which Simon and his men are standing, calmly waiting. As he fires with no success, he fails to see Katya pull out a long curved knife, and she slashes it through his neck. As he begins to fall, she slashes a second time through his neck, spins around, and stabs him in the chest. As he doubles over, she stabs him in the back. Before she can stab the guy any more, Simon grabs her, twists her hand, and pins her against the wall, restraining her. He glares disapprovingly at her]
I think he's dead, my dear.
[Simon and his henchmen enter the vault]
One hundred forty billion dollars! Ten times what's in Kentucky! Fort Knox? HA! It's for tourists! [tosses a gold brick to one of his comrades, who nearly drops it because of the weight]
[Simon reveals that he didn't ever intend to blow a school full of children]
Of course not. I'm a soldier, not a monster, even though I sometimes work for monsters.
I think I made it mad.
[To reach the payphone at the IRT Broadway - Seventh Avenue Line's Wall Street station, Zeus jumps the turnstile and is seen by a transit cop, who chases him and trains a Glock on him] [slowly]
I have to answer that phone.
Transit Cop Get 'em up!
Look, if you have to shoot me, then you go ahead, and you shoot me! But I have to answer this phone, alright?!' [picks up the receiver] I'm here.
And McClane?
He's on his way. Uh, you know, he's a little slow. He's kinda outta shape.
The rules applied to both of you. I'm afraid this is noncompliance. Goodbye. [hangs up. The screeching of wheel flanges can be heard from inside the tunnel]
Trust me guys. Duck. [He immediately assumes the brace position. The downtown #3 train that the bomb has been planted in enters the station. At the back of the tenth car, McClane smashes the panel on the door and throws the bomb out onto the tracks. As he does that, the front wheels of the first car pass over a trip wire over the inner rail that activates the detonator. The bomb goes off in midair, causing the last car to separate from the wheel bogies. The carbody slides along the island platform, taking out the station columns and signs, emitting a large plume of dust at the station entrances on the street. The transit cop stands still, petrified at the scene]
Get down! [He pulls the transit cop under the stairs. The derailed car hits the stairway and turns on its side]
Principal Martinez
[Trying to prevent panic as to the fact that there is a bomb in the school, the police have chosen a cover story]
Hi kids. I know you usually have assembly on Fridays, but today's special. Mr. Lambert here is from the fire department and today he wants us to practice a brand new fire drill. So, I want you to divide in half, and I want half of you to go over here - teachers will help them - and line up against the wall. The other half will go in this direction. Please do it very quietly and very quickly, alright? Everybody up please. Teachers, please help them. [Kids start to stand up and are gathered against the wall. Raymond and Dexter, Zeus's nephews, are skeptical about the story - and especially about Joe Lambert's appearance]
Raymond Carver Fire drill, my ass. That guy ain't from the fire department.
Dexter Carver
Maybe it's cuz of the radio.
Raymond Carver You mean, like, they're after us? Nah.
Dexter Carver
Tony squealed on us!
Raymond Carver No, he didn't.
Federal Reserve Guard #1
[Two Reserve guards are talking with two maintenance workers]
Whaddaya think, guys? Will you have to fix it?
Deputy Marshal #1 [inspecting the alarms]
Yeah it's tippin' alright.
Federal Reserve Guard #1
I'll be right back. [He opens the door and finds Simon pointing a gun at his head. He immediately dives to the floor and draws his gun, but the two repairmen are now pointing submachine guns at him and his comrade]
[Walsh leads three of Simon's henchmen into the subway station]
Yeah, yeah we snapped a couple of the steam pipes, it's like a sauna. We got the subway guys to shut down the third rail. [We see two of Simon's men using syringe guns on the two cops sent to escort them]
Foreman Emergency lighting?
And there's still some … [He hears Otto drawing a pistol] HEY! [Otto shoots him twice]
Foreman No shooting!! [Otto replies in German] Speak English! [The two other henchmen, who have donned the cops' uniforms, step past Otto]
First "Cop"
Otto doesn't speak English! Do ya, Otto?
"Foreman" Where the hell did we get this guy?
Second "Cop"
He's one of Targo's thugs!
[While John McClane and Zeus Carver navigates through to the next bomb location]
But Wall Street is south!
Stop yelling! I got a headache! And the best way south is not 9th Avenue. It's through the park.
[John drives through the gap to see the traffic backed up]
I told you Park Drive is always jammed!
I didn't say "Park Drive". [turns the cab and drives onto the sidewalk, cutting through Central Park] I said "through the park".
[while tied to a large bomb]
Hey ****head. Yeah you; ****head. There's just one thing I gotta know. You got any aspirins? 'Cause I've had a bad ****in' headache all day long.
[While transporting McClane to Harlem]
Next, fourteen dump trucks stolen from a yard in Staten Island. Fourteen! Jesus! Somebody starting a construction company?
Joe Lambert No, it was John's landlady, gonna clean his apartment.
[Zeus and his nephews see McClane across the street from their electronics store sporting a sandwich board that says "I HATE ****"]
Dial 911. Tell the police to get up here quick. Somebody's about to get killed. And get your butts to school, you hear me?
Raymond Carver [casually]
Yeah.
Dexter Carver
Yeah.
[Zeus goes out, notices a black gang across the street, then walks across to speak to McClane]
Morning.
Good morning.
You having a nice day, sir? You feelin' all right? [A car passing by honks its horn in response to McClane's message] Not to get too personal, but a white man standing in the middle of Harlem wearing a sign that says "I Hate ****" has either got some serious personal issues, or not all his dogs are barking. [McClane yawns] Hey, I'm talking to you! Now you've got about ten seconds before those guys see you, and when they do, they will kill you, you understand? You are about to have a very bad day.
Tell me about it, Sir this is a police matter, for your own safety I'm gonna have... .
You damn right it's a police matter, for you're own safety I suggest you hide your butt in my shop till the police get here.
Black Gang Member
WHAT THE ****?!
Gimme the goddamn code!
Code? [realizes what Zeus is talking about] Oh, you mean for the school. I'm sorry, I can't do that.
You call in that code right now, or I'll blow your sick ass into the next world!
If that's what you gotta do.
[Zeus pulls the trigger on his gun and nothing happens. Simon casually takes the gun from Zeus]
You forgot to take the safety catch off. [shoots Zeus in the leg]
Argh! God!
See, that works. Now, where's McClane?
