A scene from Die Hard 1988
John McClane

[over radio]

Powell? Yo, Powell, you got a minute?

Sergeant Al Powell

I'm here, John.

John McClane

Listen, man, I'm starting to get a bad feeling up here. I want you to do something for me. Um, I want you to find my wife, don't ask me how, by then, you'll know how. Uh, I want you to tell her something. I want you to tell her that... Tell her it took me a while to figure out... uh what a jerk I've been. But um... that... that when things started to pan out for her, I shoulda... been more supportive, and uh... and I just should've been behind her more. Oh, shit. Tell her that um... that she's the best thing that ever happened to a bum like me. She's heard me say, "I love you" a thousand times... she never heard me say, "I'm sorry." And I want you to tell her that Al. I want you to tell her that uh... John said that, "He was sorry." Okay? You got that, man?

Sergeant Al Powell

Yeah, I got it, John. But you can tell her that yourself. You just watch your ass and you'll make it out of there, you hear me?

John McClane

Well, I guess that's up to the man upstairs.
