[over phone]

Where do we start?

All right, check the speedometer. Has it been **** with, or loosened, or any wires? See any wires, anything?

[to Annie]

Excuse me, ma'am. [looking under the speedometer] No, it's clean.

Huh?

All right, then it's gonna be under the bus. Probably it was rigged to one of the axles.

I can't get under the bus right now, Harry. It's kind of in motion.

Helen

Excuse me? Excuse me!

Hold on.

Sam
[gasping]

There's an access panel... in the floor... underneath you, man.

[opens the floor access panel]

All right, Harry, we're in. Passenger relay. Sir. [hands the phone to Stephens] take this. I want you to tell him what I see. [looking through the hatch at the bomb] Okay, we got a wad! Pretty big!

Stephens

There's a pretty big wad.

Brass fittings...

Stephens

Brass fittings.

...I think I can reach the circuit wire.

Stephens

He can reach the circuit wire.

No! No, no! Don't! Don't do that! That's a decoy, classic.

Stephens

That's a classic decoy.

What else?

Stephens

What else?

Hold on.

Stephens

Hold on.

[Looking further under the bus, Jack sees that the bomb is rigged to a gold wristwatch]

**** me!

Stephens

Oh, darn.

[takes the phone back]

Harry, there's enough C-4 on this thing to put a hole in the world.

Okay, all right. Just stay calm. What else?

Three triggers. One on the axle I can't really see, a cellular remote, and a timer running off a wristwatch.

A watch? What kind of watch?

Gold. Gold band, fairly cheesy.

Stephens
[After Helen's death]

I can't be here. I can't, you know... This is the wrong bus. I mean, for me to... I can't die here.

Ortiz

Hey, shut up, man. I got a wife.

Stephens

Oh, you do?

Terry

Hey! So if you have a wife, and I don't, does that mean I'm expendable?

Ortiz

Hey, what are you talkin' about, man? The guy's just talking crazy. It gets on my nerves. Gets on everybody's nerves.

Stephens

Oh, yeah? Well, I think I have the right to be a little bit upset...

Terry

What are you starin' at anyway?!

Stephens

...after all that we've been through—

Ortiz

Why don't you just let everybody die in peace if that's gonna happen, huh?!

Terry

So you're a tough guy, huh?

Stephens

I got a right to be upset.

Terry

You're really tough, huh, Gigantor?! Why don't we just step outside?!

[silences them both]

Hey!

Stephens

We're at the airport.

Ortiz

Yeah, so?

Stephens

I already seen the airport.
