Quotes
-
Ricky Walsh : [in the police van, bring down to Harlem as Simon instructed them to] Next, fourteen dumptrucks stolen from a yard in Staten Island. Fourteen! Jesus! Somebody starting a construction company?
Joe Lambert : No, it was John's landlady, gonna clean his apartment.
-
Dr. Schiller : They want you to know who's doing it to you. So this name Simon is probably not an alias. It's probably Simon or some variation.
Joe Lambert : [reading a rap sheet] Simon, Robert E. Busted in '86. Extortion. Kidnapping. 10 to 15. Did 7 years for good behavior. Released on a state work furlough two months ago.
Inspector Cobb : Check it.
John McClane : [Rick tosses something to John] Thanks, Rick. Bob Simon was a bankrupt businessman who kidnapped his partner's daughter. He's a fuck-up, not a psycho. The guy we're looking for is nuts.
-
Joe Lambert : Bonwit Teller. Who the hell would wanna blow up a department store?
Connie Kowalski : Did ya ever seen a woman miss a shoe sale?
-
Connie Kowalski : [tailing John and Zeus] Okay, they made it to the phone, but there's a problem.
Inspector Cobb : Oh, what do you mean? How big a problem?
Joe Lambert : Oh, about 300 pounds.

Joe Lambert : [after a bomb detonates near Wall Street] We got a shitload of cuts and bruises, a couple of concussions, some old guy's pacemaker stopped, and a pregnant girl's water broke. And that's all. How you doin', John?
John McClane : I still can't hear too good.
Joe Lambert : Well, it's a miracle you're still alive. It's a goddamn miracle.
John McClane : Yeah, that's the problem, Joe.
Joe Lambert : What?
John McClane : The miracle part. What are the odds of us making it down here on time?
Zeus Carver : [checking his glasses] Zip.
John McClane : That bomb was gonna go off no matter what. He wanted it to go off right down here.
[to an EMT tending his injuries]
John McClane : Take this off me, Dave.
Joe Lambert : Well, what's so special about this place?
John McClane : I dunno. Something just doesn't add up.
-
Inspector Cobb : Kowalski! Lambert! You know where to find McClane?
Joe Lambert : Well, I kinda doubt you're gonna find him in church.
Inspector Cobb : Well, you better find out what rock he's under and kick it over.
-
Joe Lambert : What's up?
Inspector Cobb : McClane was mentioning something about the Federal Reserve Building. Isn't that right near that Wall Street bomb site we just left?
Joe Lambert : Yeah.
-
Charles Weiss : [finding the school bomb] Well... I'd say you could call off your search.
Inspector Cobb : Can you stop it?
Charles Weiss : I shouldn't even touch it. Who knows what kind of booby traps this thing's got. What about the code?
Inspector Cobb : No word.
Joe Lambert : When do we evacuate?
Inspector Cobb : Simon says he sees one kid leave the building, boom!
Joe Lambert : Fine, there's a chance that somebody's still watching, but we can't stand here with our thumb up our ass waiting for this freaking thing to blow up!
-
Dr. Schiller : This guy wants to pound on you 'til you crumble. He wants you to dance to his tune, and then...
John McClane : Put on a dress and fuck me?
Dr. Schiller : I was going to say kill you. He's sitting on an awful lot of rage, and it could be manifested physically if he's stressed.
Inspector Cobb : Someone he arrested? Somebody he pissed off?
Joe Lambert : That could be one hell of a long list.
John McClane : Fuck you, Joe.
-
Inspector Cobb : [after Charlie demonstrates the binary liquid bomb] That stuff has gotta be pretty rare. We oughta be able to find out if any of it's missing somewhere.
Joe Lambert : Already did. Livermore Labs theft over the weekend.
John McClane : He got enough to make another one, Joe?
Joe Lambert : About 2,000 pounds.
Inspector Cobb : Of that?
Charles Weiss : The detonating mechanism could be anything; radio, electrical. Hell, you could use a beeper and phone it in.
