Bob Morton
[Staring at the not-yet-revealed-to-the-audience Robocop.]

"You're going to be a bad mother****er!"

Bob Morton
[Morton tests his new creation.]

What are your prime directives?

RoboCop

Serve the public trust. Protect the innocent. Uphold the law.

Dick Jones

I remember when I was a young executive at this company. We used to call the old man funny names. "Iron Butt", "Boner", once I even called him... "asshole". But there was always respect. I always knew where the line was drawn. And you just stepped over it, buddy-boy. You've insulted me. And you've insulted this company with that bastard creation of yours. I had a guaranteed military sale with ED-209. Renovation program. Spare parts for the next decade. Who cares if it worked or not?

Bob Morton

The old man thought it was pretty important... Dick.

Dick Jones

You know... he's a sweet old man. And he means well. But he's not gonna live forever. And I'm number two around here. Pretty simple math, huh, Bob? You just... **** with the wrong guy!

Bob Morton

You're out of your **** mind!

Dick Jones

You better pray... that that unholy monster of yours doesn't screw up.

ED-209
[Jones directs Kinney to threaten ED-209. Kinney points a gun at the robot, which immediately aims its weapons at him.]

Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply.

Jones

I think you'd better do what he says, Mr. Kinney.

ED-209
[Alarmed, Kinney quickly tosses the gun away. ED-209 steps forward and growls menacingly.]

You now have 15 seconds to comply. You are in direct violation of Penal Code 1.13, Section 9.

ED-209
[Everyone in the room panics; Kinney tries to hide among them, but is pushed back into open range]

You have 5 seconds to comply. 4. 3. 2. 1. I am now authorized to use physical force! [Violently shoots Kinney repeatedly until one of the technicians pulls the plug, shutting down ED-209]

Bob Morton

Somebody wanna call a goddamn paramedic?! Let's go, Johnson!

Donald Johnson

You pull the plug on this thing?

Donald Johnson
[As one of the staff members tries to touch Kinney]

Don't touch him. DON'T TOUCH HIM! [dialling the phone]

Dr. McNamara

He didn't hear the gun drop.

Donald Johnson

He didn't hear it?

The Old Man
[to Dick Jones]

Dick, I'm very disappointed.

Dick Jones

I'm sure it's only a glitch. A temporary setback.

The Old Man

You call this a glitch? We're scheduled to begin construction in six months. Your "temporary setback" could cost us 50 million dollars in interest payments alone.
