[calling the police on a radio taken from the terrorists]

Mayday, Mayday, emergency, anyone copy, channel nine. Terrorists have seized the Nakatomi Building, and are holding at least 30 people hostage. I repeat, unknown number of terrorists, six or more armed with automatic weapons at Nakatomi Plaza, Century City. Somebody answer me, Goddamn it!

[to other operator]

It's the same address as that fire signal.

I'll take this. [to McClane] Attention, whoever you are: this frequency is reserved for emergency calls only.

No ****in' shit, lady! Do I sound like I'm orderin' a pizza?! They have already killed one hostage, they are fortifying their positions while you're jerkin' me off on a radio! Now send the police down ASAP...

[interrupting]

Sir, I've already told you: this is a reserved channel. If this is an emergency call, dial 911 on your telephone. Otherwise, I'll report this as an FCC violation.

Fine, report me! Come the **** down here and arrest me! Just send the police now!

[Karl shoots at him. The operators react with annoyed surprise on the other end when they hear the gunshots]

See if a black-and-white can drive by.
