A scene from Firestarter 1984
Captain Hollister

When we find out all we need to know from her...

John Rainbird

When you give her to me.

Captain Hollister

[after a pause]

What are you going to do with her?

John Rainbird

John, the friendly orderly, will come in. He will greet her, talk to her, get her to smile... John, the friendly orderly, will make her happy because he's the only one who can. And when John feels she has reached the moment of her greatest happiness, he will strike her across the bridge of the nose, breaking it explosively and sending bone fragments into her brain. It'll be quick. And he'll be looking at her face at the time. He will know her power. And when he dies, which I hope is very soon, perhaps he can take that power with him... into the other world.

Captain Hollister

[finishes off his drink and heads for the door]

You are crazy!
