Most-quoted character in The Negotiator (1998): in 3 of its 7 quotes
You working?
Sort of. I was negotiating a truce between my wife and daughter.
That might prove to be easy by comparison.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least.
You want something... you want something, from me? You thinking killing a man gives you the power to negotiate with me? Why is that, is that because you think you know me? What I am going to do? That I'm gonna give you time? (draws his gun) Don't you **** count on it. Right now I'm the only thing standing between you and an army that's just itching to come in here and take you out. So you tell me something, Danny - why should I get in their way, huh? Make me believe why I should deal with you ever again.
I still have hostages. They can still be punished for your mistakes.
What was that? A threat? Did you just threaten me? That's all I need to walk out of here on Danny.
The rules of engagement state that you don't risk a breach, if the hostage taker is willing to kill in retaliation, and I think I've proved I'm willing to do that.
That wasn't an accident and neither will the next one that goes in your head, now get down here! MOVE! MOVE!!!
