Lilly Raines What makes you think he'll call again?
Oh, he'll call again. He's got "panache."
Lilly Raines Panache?
Yeah, it means flamboyance.
Lilly Raines Uh, I know what it means.
Really? I had to look it up.

Scenes with Lilly Raines
7 scenes Lilly Raines Lilly Raines Lilly Raines How's the First Lady? She ask about me?
Lilly Raines Have you gotten to know them yet?
Well, I normally prefer not to get to know the people I'm protecting.
Lilly Raines Oh, yeah? Why's that?
Well, you never know. You might decide they're not worth taking a bullet for.
Lilly Raines I heard you and Nixon didn't get along.
Now, that's not true. His chief of staff, though, that was a different story. I remember one time, he wanted me to go out and get rid of some anti-war protesters. I said no, talking about the Bill of Rights and so on. And he says, "look, when I'm talking to you, I am the President." I said, "The President? That's funny, you look more like a sack of shit in a cheap suit to me, sir!"
Lilly Raines [laughs]
Well, I like the "sir." It's a classy touch.
I thought so.
Lilly Raines [Lilly's wearing an evening dress]
What are you looking at?
I was just wondering where you hide your firearm. Don't tell me, let me guess.
Lilly Raines [after a false alarm]
The President was humiliated.
He's alive, isn't he?
Lilly Raines Yeah, well, we're here to safeguard his dignity as well.
I'm not paid for that.
Lilly Raines What about the time Kennedy's girlfriend was caught in the White House and you said she was with you?
Don't you go believing every rumor someone tells you.
Lilly Raines Frank, Wilder told me the whole story. About how you were suspended a month without pay. I'd say that was safeguarding his dignity.
That was different. He was different.
Lilly Raines Maybe you were different.
I was different. The whole damn country was different. Everything would be different right now too if I'd been half as a paranoid as I am today. ****.
[last lines]
I'll bet you that brown pigeon down there flies off before the white one.
Lilly Raines How do you know?
I know things about pigeons, Lilly.
No. But if you wanna blow your goddamn head off, go ahead, be my guest.
Nicely put, except I don't want to leave this miserable world alone.
Lilly Raines West tower, do you have a shot?
Sniper
Negative, too dark. Target unclear.
It's better to die with a friend, don't you think Frank?
A friend? You're a damn killer, you sick bastard.
Don't talk to me like that! I saved your life. You owe me.
I don't owe you shit.
I was always honest and fair with you.
Go ahead and shoot. Go ahead. [the other agents hear him on the ground floor]
Agent Chavez
It's Frank. [to people reacting at the audio] Quiet! Quiet!
Come on, dammit.
Raines Frank are you talking to me?
What am I waiting for? I'm waiting for you to show me some goddamn gratitude. [aims pistol as Horrigan moves back] Without me, you'd still just be another sad-eyed, piano-playing drunk. I brought you into this game. I let you keep up with me. I made you a goddamn hero today.
You didn't make me anything.
I redeemed your pathetic, shitty life.
I just did my job. You're the one with the **** pathetic life. Go ahead and shoot, dammit.
Raines They can't see inside. If they fire, you'll be hit.
I want you to thank me first, Frank.
Shut up and shoot.
Raines All right, Frank.
Raines Shooters, standby to fire. Wait for my command.
Sleep well, my friend.
Just one thing: Aim high.
What?
Raines Aim high.
NOW!
Raines Fire!
