"I'll need them one day..." "Not right this minute." "Well, things change." "I'll need them." "Um, hey, could I offer you some coffee?" "That would be wonderful." "It's more of a dare than an offer, actually." "Did the police find anything?" "Well, after meeting Arthur, they figure I'm the primary suspect." "So... how do you, uh..." "like it?" "Oh, light and..." "Sweet." "Mmm." "Mmm." "Oh." "(Both grunting)" "(Glass breaking)" "(Anna laughing)" "I forgot my jacket." "Got room for a third?" "No harm in asking." "(Door slamming)" "Mm." "I hope I didn't hurt you." "(Clearing throat) No, no, that's..." "Didn't know I was, um..." "Well, we should go." "Let's..." "let's, uh..." "Yeah." "It's probably a good idea." "You should go." "Mmm." "Eliot:" "Later that day, Arthur herk stopped by to have a friendly chat with his boss." "(Vehicle door closing)" "Morning, douchebag." "Arthur?" "Jesus." "What happened to your hair?" "It's a wig, you moron." "Don't act stupid." "I know you know what's going on." "Those dickwads upstairs are trying to have me whacked!" "Hey, hey, first of all, those decisions are made way over my head." "And secondly, you stole money from them, Arthur!" "What do you expect them to do?" "Look, bitch, you take that express elevator upstairs to the top floor, and you tell those sugar-cane-sucking scumbags to lay off, or I'm gonna blow the lid on this whole operation!" "You're putting me in a very awkward position." "No, no, no." "No, no, no." "No." "No." "An awkward position is what you're going to be in when the fbi is shining a proctoscope up your big, fat ass!" "I have evidence, and I'll use it!" "Eliot:" "He didn't have evidence, but he knew where he could get some." "And that made Arthur herk a very dangerous man." "Arthur may not have been a genius, but he did know that the bullet that went through xena's head was meant for his." "Penultra construction had arranged for the hit when they discovered" "Arthur had been skimming money from the company." "Up until yesterday, Arthur herk had been their bagman." "Gentlemen..." "We have a problem." "Can I get personal?" "Oh, now you're asking?" "Your daughter really likes you." "Yeah." "We have a pretty good relationship." "The divorce, Arthur..." "She doesn't throw any of that in your face?" "Oh, I told Jenny a long time ago that I wasn't perfect." "She tried to accept my mistakes, and I try to accept hers." "Sounds simple." "Well, I mean, it wasn't that simple when she came home with a scorpion tattooed on her butt." "Matt hates me." "He basically thinks I'm a loser." "He called me a loser, so I called him a shithead." "If we had bad teeth, we could go on Jerry springer." "(Chuckling)" "So, what you're telling me is that her mom beat you up?" "Well, she's in pretty good shape, man." "I mean, she could snap you like a toothpick." "Hey." "Hi." "You... don't stare at my boobs." "So, did they give you points for the kill?" "No, they said it didn't count." "Well, I know this won't end till it ends, so I'd like to get this over with." "You can squirt me tonight over at bayside." "I'll be outside the gap at around 8:00, okay?" "Okay." "And you... don't look at my ass when I walk away." "I can't make that promise." "(Scoffs)" "Whoa." ""You can squirt me tonight down at bayside."" "You're gonna remember that line when you're an old dude, dude." "You looking at her ass?" "Yeah." "There's some things I'd like to know." "For instance, who's the guy running around with the rifle?" "And who in the hell is the guy jumping on me from out of a tree?" "What guy in a tree?" "That's what I'm wondering." "Look, you brought us down here to do a simple job..." "In, out, bing, bang." "All of a sudden, I got Geronimo running into the house and Tarzan landing on my coconut." "Your primary concern is to finish this job before a certain party shoots his mouth off." "(Sniffing)" "Excuse me." "Nice." "(Laughter)" "Gentlemen, would you mind putting out your cigars, please?" "Come again?" "I asked..." "Would you mind putting out your cigars, please?" "As a matter of fact, I would mind." "Well, you see, the reason I ask..." "All due respect..." "I got a great New York strip sitting over there, cost me $27 and change, and it tastes like I'm eating a cigar." "Listen, ace, number one, you're eating a steak at a place called Joe's stone crab." "And number two, there's no rule that says we can't smoke." "Well, number one, my name is not ace." "And number two, I'm not talking about rules here." "I'm talking about manners." "You see, there is no rule that says I can't come over here and fart on your entree, but I don't do it." "Why?" "Because it's not good manners." "So I ask you again in the nicest possible way to please put out the cigars, okay?" "(Laughter)" "(Bones cracking) (Screaming)" "(Steam hissing)" "Thank you." "I hope you realize you've just committed assault." "I know, I know..." "You know, I remember a time was you actually had to hit somebody." "(Slaps back)" "You go tell your employer it's gonna cost him another 10 g's apiece." "Okay." "But we want this finished as soon as possible."

"5 minutes ago, the tower got a message from a fly by air pilot saying he's got a guy with a gun on his plane." "What gate?" "Gate j-4." "I thought you said all the planes were grounded." "(Tires screeching)" "(Engine roaring)" "(Clock ticking)" "Give me the wing commander at homestead." "Tell him we have a situation." "The plane's in the air." "(Engine roaring)" "All right." "Now we're getting somewhere." "Peanuts?" "Yes, I need all lines to stay open between myself and homestead." "Mrs. herk!" "My daughter's on the plane with that man, and he tried to shoot at us, and you have..." "Mrs. herk, ma'am, listen, we need to know where that metal suitcase is right now." "Anna:" "I don't know." "I don't know about a suitcase." "It's on the plane." "Did anybody open that suitcase?" "They made us turn it on." "What happened when you turned it on?" "Lights, little numbers." "(Clock ticking)" "(Buzzing)" "What's that thing doing?" "It means the rear door's open." "I can't fly the plane much longer with those stairs down." "Eddie, pull up those stairs and close the door." "Hey." "(Clock ticking)" "(Grunting)" "Eddie..." "Eddie, stop screwing around." "Okay, confirm they got him on radar." "What does he mean they have them on radar?" "Give me a second." "You're gonna shoot that plane down." "You can't do this." "There's innocent people on that plane." "If that nuke goes off over freeport, many innocent people die." "Now, nobody likes this, okay?" "But this has been discussed, believe me, as high as it can be, every scenario." "And this is the only way out." "How soon?" "When the plane is over the Gulf stream..." "Three minutes." "What about the kid's father?" "Maybe he made it onto the plane." "Let's say he did." "Is he, by any chance, familiar with a Russian nuclear warhead with a plutonium rod encased in a terillium core?" "I believe he's in advertising." "Eddie." "Eddie." "Get up." "Get up, you lazy shit." "He's not lazy." "He's unconscious." "(Gunshots)" "(Screaming)" "Miami tower, this is, uh..." "Fly by air 2036." "38." "Whatever." "What?" "What did he say?" "What?" "What?" "They heard from the pilot." "Hang on." "You tell them get that suitcase off the plane right now." "You understand me?" "Right now!" "(Grunting)" "Get the suitcase off the plane!" "The suitcase... get it off!" "Get it off the plane!" "All:" "Get the suitcase off the plane!" "(Beeping)" "(Grunting)" "(Wind howling)" "No!" "Let go of the suitcase!" "The kingpin will never let go of the kingpin's suitcase!" "(Gunshot)" "It's a bomb!" "It's a bomb!" "Get it off the plane!" "(Beeping)" "Have it your way!" "It's gone!" "The suitcase is gone!" "Falcon one, falcon one, break off." "I repeat, break off." "Do you read?" "(Wind howling)" "Jenny:" "Mom, mom, listen to this!" "It's totally incredible!" "It's the most amazing story." "Oh!" "(Sighing)" "You should've seen Matt's dad." "Seriously intense." "He smashed that really dumb guy on the head with the fire extinguisher, which was very cool." "And then that guy, snake, he had a gun, and he shot at Matt's dad." "Then Matt's dad started beating the crap out of him." "Then Matt's dad said, like he was some sort of action hero," ""he's not lazy." "He's unconscious..."" "Eliot:" "I had to outrun a plane and subdue two convicts with a nuclear weapon to get Matt's respect..." "Good job, dad." "But it was worth it." "Seitz:" "Mr. Arnold?" "Agent Alan seitz, fbl." "The president thanks you for your selfless act of courage." "Because he can never admit to knowledge of what happened here, in lieu of a medal of honor, he'd like to send you a pair of cowboy boots with a "w" on them and a hat." "Sorry for any trouble, folks." "Eliot:" "Eddie leadbetter served his sentence at a correctional facility just outside Jacksonville, and became very good friends with his cellmate, Dwight, who shared similar tastes in humor." "Kramitz:" "Monica!" "Monica!" "Walter kramitz never returned to the force." "Being naked in public was a revelation for him." "Walter loves the attention..." "Stick 'em up!" "But always tosses the pouch to his new wife, a miss Heather weintraub kramitz." "Pretty name." "And with that, I say good night." "(The orange and blue plays)" "Eliot:" "Henry and Leonard still refer to the Arthur herk job as the low point of their professional careers." "Woman on p.A.:" "Your attention please." "Captain lynch has informed us that there will be a delay due to an obstruction on the runway." "(Bleating)" "I really feel like killing somebody." "You got that right." "Eliot:" "We all go along day after day, when suddenly a bomb drops into our lives." "Sometimes you can't get out of the way." "Sometimes it's a new beginning." "Let's take it slow." "Absolutely." "We were married a week after Anna's divorce." "What is it that brings two strangers together so that one soul inhabits two bodies?" "Sometimes it's profound." "Sometimes it's fritos." "(Metal creaking)" "(Crying) Make her stop!" "God in heaven, make her stop!" "She wants my soul!" "(Barking) Arugula!" "Arugula!" "Arrrrrugula!"
