Cowboy

Okay, what are we gonna do now?

Swan

We're going back.

You mind tellin' us how? ****in' Coney Island must be 50 to 100 miles from here!

Swan

It's the only choice we got.

Cochise

Yeah, real simple. Except that every cop in this city is lookin' to bust our heads.

Swan

We got somethin' else to think about.

Yeah, what?

Snow

The truce. Is it still on?

If it ain't, we're gonna have to bop our way back!

Cowboy

Shit, I wish we was packed.

Swan

If this truce is off, anything could hit us between here and that train. If you get separated, make it to the platform at Union Square. That's where we change trains.

Ajax

I only got one question. Who named you leader? I got as much right to take over as you.

Fox

It was Cleon's choice; Swan's war chief.

Ajax

Well, right about now, Cleon's most likely got a nightstick shoved halfway up his ass! [laughs] Shit. I bet you can't even find the subway.

Swan

Maybe we ought to talk about this later, huh?

Ajax

Well, what's wrong with right now? I wanna be Warlord.

Swan

Make your move.

Cowboy

Hey Ajax, lighten up.

Hey Big Boy, Swan's war chief.

Cochise

We better stick together.

See that dude? Over there! He's after you, and he's got some guys with him.

Swan
[looks in their direction]

I know they're on my ass, but now they know I know it.

[she kisses Swan and is disappointed when she doesn't get a reaction]

Come on. What's wrong?

Swan
[coldly]

Let's just get to the next station, O.K.?

Oh... please, come on... come on.

Swan

You know, you're just part of everything that's happening tonight, and it's all bad. [pause] Just go back to wherever it was you came from.

Friday nights are good. Saturday nights are better.

Swan

I bet you can't even remember who you get on Friday and Saturday night... you probably don't remember what they look like...

Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't... who gives a damn?

Swan

When we see the ocean, we figure we're home. We're safe.

This time you got it wrong.

Swan

Why'd you do it? Why'd you waste Cyrus?

No reason. I just like doing things like that!

Swan

You still looking for us?

Masai
[looks at Luther]

We found what we're looking for.

[cowering]

No. No... It wasn't us. It was them. It was the Warriors.

Masai

You Warriors are good. Real good.

Swan

The best.

Masai

The rest is ours.

[Swan nods his head in agreement as the Gramercy Riffs let the Warriors pass] [as the Gramercy Riffs descend on the Rogues]

Nooooooo!
