P POTUS
[in the detention/deportation center]
Would you explain to this foot soldier why he's going to do what we tell him to do?
Snake
What's he talking about?
Malloy
The Plutoxin Seven virus.
Brazen
Genetically engineered. One-hundred percent pure death.
Malloy
It starts with a slight headache, then turns into a fever that gets worse. After a short time, you crash. You bleed out like a stuck pig. Not a pretty sight.
Snake
I get it. You figure that you inject that shit into me, and under the threat of death, I'll do whatever you say... just like in New York.
Malloy
You got it... Snake!
Snake
One question: which one of you assholes gets to die trying to stick me?
Malloy
You don't understand. It's already in you.
Brazen
[Snake looks down at his hand, where Brazen scratched him earlier]
Catches on quick, doesn't he?
Snake
Let's say I come back and I have your black box. Who'll give me the antidote to the virus?
Malloy
A medical team will be standing by.
Snake
Neither one of you will be there?
Malloy
No.
Snake
Good! [fires at Brazen and Malloy, with no effect]
Malloy
Ha! Figured you might try that, hotshot. That's why the first clip is loaded with blanks. Bye-bye, Snake. Good luck!
Malloy
[After the President receives the Sword of Damocles command remote from Malloy and condemns his daughter Utopia to execution]
She didn't know that she had that remote unit in her pocket, now, did she? I was wondering what kind of lame switch you'd try to pull this time, Plissken. You know, you're becoming very predictable.
Snake
Yeah I guess so. You got a smoke?
Malloy
The United States is a non-smoking nation. No smoking, no drinking, no drugs, no women, unless, of course, you're married. No guns, no foul language, no red meat.
Snake
"Land of the free..."
P President
[As Brazen alerts the President that military forces from Cuba and Mexico are less than two minutes away from attacking Florida]
What's it to be, Plissken? Us or them?
Snake
Shut down the Third World; they lose, you win. Shut down America; you lose, they win. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
P President
So what are you going to do?
Snake
Disappear. [Types "666" on the remote]
Brazen
[looks at Sword of Damocles system display]
He's entered the world code...no target code. [to the President] Sir, that'll shut down the entire planet.
Snake
I told you, you'd better hope I didn't make it back.
Malloy
You push that button, everything we've accomplished for the past 500 years will be finished. Our technology, our way of life, our entire history. We'll have to start all over again. [takes one step closer and pleads] For God's sakes, don't do it, Snake!
Snake
The name's Plissken. [pushes the button; the Sword of Damocles EMP satellites fire off, disabling all electrical systems - including Utopia's electric chair just before she is to be executed]
U Utopia
[as the light fades out]
He did it! He shut down the Earth!
Snake
[holographic image of Snake winks out; the real Snake tosses the holo-cam aside. He finds a cigarette and lights it, smiles, and blows out the match as he looks to the camera]
Welcome to the human race.
