Stanley, I'm about to do something that is against my better judgement. I'm going to tell you who I am.
Stanley Don't bother. I already know who you are.
Really? You see I think that you think I'm a bank robber. But that's not the truth. The truth is I'm just like you.
Stanley You're a murderer.
Indeed I am and worse, much worse.
Stanley It's not gonna end like this.
Oh, come on, Stan. Not everything ends the way you think it should. Besides, audiences love happy endings.
Have you ever heard of Harry Houdini? Well he wasn't like today's magicians who are only interested in television ratings. He was an artist. He could make an elephant disappear in the middle of a theater filled with people, and do you know how he did that? Misdirection.
Stanley What the **** are you talking about?
Misdirection. What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes.
Stanley And you are?
I'm Ginger.
Stanley Where's Gilligan?
You're not too good at this golf thing, are you, Stan?
Stanley You're **** up my chi.
Stanley War? Who are we at war with?
Anyone who impinges on America's freedom. Terrorist states, Stanley. Someone must bring their war to them. They bomb a church, we bomb 10. They hijack a plane, we take out an airport. They execute American tourist, we tactically nuke an entire city. Our job is to make terrorism so horrific that is becomes unthinkable to attack Americans.
Stanley What are you still doing here? Look, I'm beginning to lose my sense of humor about all this.
Ok, then I'll cut to the chase. If you want a chance in hell at getting your daughter back you better listen up. Unless of course, you want to stay here, in this loser existence, while your daughter grows up to be a fluffer in her new daddy's videos.
Stanley Do me the courtesy of not confusing your own childhood with my daughter's.
Big Stan! Nice suit.
Stanley Thanks.
They say it's the suit that makes the man.
Stanley Buy it?
Hope not!
You know, you should really have let me buy you a suit, Stanley.
Stanley I'm happy with what I'm wearing, thank you.
Ignorance is bliss.
Twenty. [looks at Ginger] She dying Stanley.
Stanley Shut the **** up!
Stanley I can't drive this thing!
Learn!
Stanley How can you justify all this?
You're not looking at the big picture Stan. Here's a scenario. You have the power to cure all the world's diseases but the price for this is that you must kill a single innocent child, could you kill that child Stanley?
Stanley No.
You disappoint me, it's the greatest good.
Stanley Well how about 10 innocents?
Now you're gettin' it, how about a hundred - how about a THOUSAND? Not to save the world but to preserve our way of life.
Stanley No man has the right to make that decision; you're no different from any other terrorist.
No, you're wrong Stanley. Thousands die every day for no reason at all, where's your bleeding heart for them? You give your twenty dollars to Greenpeace every year thinking you're changing the world? What countries will harbor terrorists when they realize the consequences of what I'll do? Did you know that I can buy nuclear warheads in Minsk for forty million each? Hell, I'd buy half a dozen and even get a discount!
Stanley Nothing is impossible.
