"OK, kid, out loud now, so as I can hear you." "I'm checkin' the passengers, front and back." "Shuttin' the doors." "Rear section first." "Then the front section." "And the doors are closed." "I'm checkin' indicators to make sure doors are locked." "I remove my key, go back out the window to make sure no one's bein' dragged." "5 1st Street next stop." "Next stop, 5 1st Street." "How'd I do?" "Now you take my advice, kid." "You serve your six months, and then you put in for the motorman." "Watch it now, we're comin' in." " 59th Street." " No, it ain't." "51st Street." "Sorry, this station is 51st Street." "Never say you're sorry." "Someone may come back here and hit you in your damn nose!" "Grand Central Station next stop." "Next stop, Grand Central." "If I was you I'd start studyin' for that motorman exam right now." "Tell you the truth, Mr Mattson, I have been." "Every car in the IRT is 72 feet long." "Costs $ 150,000, weighs 75,000Ibs." "This is where I get off." "You're doin' fine." "Yeah, I'll see ya." "Hey, what's the rush, chief?" "We ain't gonna leave without ya!" "33rd Street next stop." "Next stop is 33rd." "What's wrong, dude?" "Ain't you never seen a sunset before?" "Hey!" "How am I supposed to see with you...?" " Holy God!" "What do you want?" " I'm taking your train." "You're takin' my train?" "Hey!" "Turn around." "I got s-s-somethin' to show ya." " What's goin' on?" " Shut up!" "I won't tell you again." "Open the door or I'll blow your head off." "May I get by, please?" "No, you don't wanna go in there." "Suppose I do anyway?" "Then I'll shoot your pee-pee off." "Now just go back out the window and tell me what you see." "Someone leaning' against the head car." "The second he comes aboard, you sh-sh-shut the doors." "Keep your hand off the microphone, buddy." " All right, Mr Green?" " 100 per cent, Mr Blue." "Get moving, will you?" "Oh!" "Shelley, give that to the meathead upstairs, will ya?" "(secretary) Right this way." "Just follow me." "Shelley, have you seen Lieutenant Garber?" "Oh!" "Lieutenant, it's so nice of you to leave your duties long enough to escort our distinguished guests around the facilities." "May I present to you Mr Yashimura." "Mr Matsumoto." "Mr Tomashita." "And Mr Naka..." "Nakabashi?" "These gentlemen are all directors of the Tokyo Metropolitan Subway System." "Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet Lieutenant Zachary Garber of our own New York Transit Authority Police." "A pleasure, gentlemen." "When you're finished, send them up to 13." "The chairman would like to say goodbye to them personally." "Sayonara!" "Follow me, gentlemen." "New York City Subway is the largest in the world, with 237 miles of track, 7,000..." "Gentlemen, please." "New York City Subway is the largest in the world." "7,000 cars, 237 miles of track..." " Say "when", Mr Blue." " You just keep going, will you?" "You're still in switching'." "Why don't you peg it up?" "You're green all the way." "We're in no hurry." "Atchoo!" "Your cold sounds pretty bad." "I woke up in the middle of the night with it." " What happened?" " Must've bucked." "You told me you could drive this thing." "It's the train." "She bucks all the time." "She's a dog." "This is the headquarters of the Transit Police, which occupies the entire second floor of this building." "We call it the nerve centre." "The status board pinpoints the disposition of every Transit Authority patrolman presently in the field." "That's it." "Get a good shot of that." "Things are usually jumpin' pretty good in here." "I suppose you gentlemen have your share of crime in the Tokyo subways, right?" "Right?" "Well, that's the way it goes." "These are the assignment desks." "One for each of the lines: the BMT, the IRT, the IND." "There's our artist in residence." "And right through here is our operations lieutenant, Mr Rico Patrone, who, on weekends, works for the Mafia." "Rico, I'd like you to meet some good friends of the chairman." " Hiya." " Very good friends, Rico." "Hiya." "Rico, these are the directors of the Tokyo subway." "Tell us about some of the exciting' things that have happened in the New York City Subway System lately, Rico." "Well, we had a bomb scare in the Bronx yesterday." "But it turned out to be a cantaloupe." "I'm busy, Zach, OK?" "In the course of a normal week, the average TA policeman deals with such crimes as robbery, assault, murder, drunkenness, illness, vandalism, mishegaas, abusiveness, sexual molestation, exhibitionism..." " What's your name, motorman?" " Denny Doyle, sir." " Ever been written up?" " Once." " What for?" " Runnin' a red signal." "How about you?" "Twice." "Once on the Canarsie..." "That's right, Mr Green." "Tell Mr Doyle all about yourself, will you?" "OK." "Stop it about here." "I'm takin' your brake handle and the reverse key, Denny." "Atchoo!" "I want your cutting' key also." "That's it." "You'll hear from Command Centre in a minute or two." "You will ignore the call." "Is that clear, Mr Doyle?" "Yes, sir." "They can call all they want." "I'm deaf." " Thanks, Mr Grey." " Don't mention it, uh..." "Mr Green, right?" "Right." "Let's have your cab key, conductor." "I can't do that." "I ain't supposed to do that." "You got three seconds to live, conductor." "One, two..." "OK, OK, OK." "It'll mean my job." "What's he gonna do?" "You wouldn't want me to spoil the s-s-surprise, would you?" "Until then, stay where you are." "Go back to normal speed when..." "Command Centre callin' Pelham One Two Three." "Come in, please." "Sorry, I couldn't help it." "It was automatic." "Pelham One Two Three, do you read me?" "Come in, Pelham One Two Three." "Where the fuck are you?" "Hey!" "What's the goddamn hurry?" "I told you, one of my men dropped his wedding' ring down the john!" " What are you runnin' for?" " Who's runnin'?" " How come that gate ain't locked?" " Who's gonna steal a subway train?" "Grand Central Tower calling' Command Centre." "Have you picked up on Pelham One Two Three yet?" "We're tryin' to find out." " What'd he say?" " They're backed up all along the line." "Jesus Christ, Caz, you picked a hell of a day to be late!" "You wanted a plumber down here, didn't ya?" " Whose goddamn wedding' ring was it?" " Mrs Jenkins'." "But, Caz..." "Sorry, Mr Dolowicz." "It just slipped off." " Why was your hand in the john anyway?" " My hand wasn't..." "Go fish it out, would ya?" "The toilet's behind the board." "Caz, listen to me!" "There's a train down!" "Classification's been open to a woman for only a month and already we're in a goddamn toilet!" " What the hell's that?" " Marino's been tryin' to tell ya." "He's layin' down between 28th and 23rd." " What the hell for?" "How long?" " Three minutes." "Command Centre's been tryin' to raise him, but he don't answer his phone." "Jeez, Caz, why don't he answer his radio?" "Maybe his radio's busted and the son of a bitch is too lazy to climb down and use the phone." "I'm gonna write him up for this!" "I'm gonna have his ass!" "Hey, it's movin'." "For Jesus Christ's sake, the dumb bastard is movin' backwards." "Look." "He left the front car behind." "The goddamn board must be busted." "He stopped again." "Well, stopped is better than backwards at least." "What was that?" "I didn't know these things went backwards." "Now you know." "Would you mind tellin' me what you gentlemen are doing?" "Yeah, I would." "(children laughing)" "Come in, Pelham One Two Three." "Come in." " All right, Mr Green?" " Smooth as silk, Mr Blue." " How do you feel?" " Great." "Get out, Doyle." "Here's your gun." "Get going." "We're already two minutes late." "Pelham One Two Three." "Do you hear me, Pelham One Two Three?" "Look." "The front car's movin'." "And forward this time." " I've got eyes, haven't I?" " What's goin' on down there?" "Are you children with anybody?" "You children... you with anybody?" "Yeah." "My mother." "Go back and join her." " Why?" " Go back and join your mother." "Mom, we wanna play." "Your attention, please." "You'll all remain seated." "Anybody who tries to rise is going to get shot." "There's another one!" "Shut up!" "Move up a bit, Mr Doyle." "Ladies and gentlemen, you see this gun?" "It fires 750 rounds of 9-millimetre ammunition per minute." "In other words, if all of you simultaneously were to rush me, not a single one of you would get any closer than you are right now." "Mom, are those real guns?" "I do hope I have made myself understood." "(Spanish)" "He stopped again." "The crazy dumb-ass son of a bitch stopped again." "He's halfway between stations!" "I'm gonna nail his pecker to the goddamn wall for this." " Caz, take it easy, will ya?" " Come on!" "If I gotta watch my language because they let a few broads in, I'm gonna quit!" "How can you run a goddamn railroad without swearing'?" "!" "Grand Central Terminal, who's in charge down there?" "It's for you, Mr Dolowicz." "It's me, Frank." "Caz Dolowicz." "We're watchin' it on the board." "Watchin' it?" "!" "I got trains pilin' up behind it!" " Get some supervision down there!" " It's on its way, Frank." "I'll be back." "I've turned off the power." "Everybody in this part of the car, move to the back." "Come on." "Everybody in the front part of the car move to the back." " What the hell is goin' on?" " Move back, please, and sit down." "(woman) May I say something, please?" " Please, listen to me..." " Be quiet and sit down!" "Let's go, honey." "All right, Mr Doyle." "What are you gonna do?" " What about this one?" " Let her sleep." "What you're going to do, Mr Doyle, is to go back, collect all the passengers from the cars we've cut loose, and walk them to 28th Street station." " People hate to get off in a tunnel..." " Just do as you're told." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Can I go with him?" "I got this very important appointment to see." "Nobody else leaves." "Aw, shit." "I'm sure you wouldn't mind if the children were to go." "Sit down, madam." "Didn't you hear what I said?" "I said nobody else leaves." "Excuse me, mister." "Don't you think we should be let in on what's happening?" "You're being held by four very dangerous men armed with machine guns." "Ask a foolish question... (cries of dismay)" "Be quiet." "Be quiet!" "Nothing will happen as long as you obey my orders." "That's what they said in Vietnam, and I still got my ass shot full of lead." "Shut your mouth, nigger!" " And keep it shut." " Mr Grey!" "(woman praying in Spanish)" "It's terrible." "Who asked you to look?" "All right, Mr Green?" "The power's off at 14th Street and 33rd." "All four tracks." "Local and express." "The north and the southbound." "Why am I still seeing lights?" "That's emergency." "They run on AC"
