"Schwahn?" "Oh,you're acquainted?" "Good." "He's the one asking for the machine." "He needs it to do an operation what kind of operation?" "Why don't you tell him,doc?" "tell him what you did to my brother- my perfect kid brother  perfect except for a tweak in his brain." "Schiphrenia,they said." "Schizophrenia?" "I didn't mind taking care of him... but he didn't want to be a burden to me, so he went to see dr." "Schwahn for help." "You wanna see what he did to my kid brother?" "Bilateral cingulotomy." "Fried his brains four years he's been like this." "But as soon as that E.E.G.Machine gets here, dr." "Schwahn is gonna correchis mistake." "Ain't you,doc?" "Ain't you gonna fix my little brother?" "hello?" "Seems we got off on the wrong foot." "To show you there's no hard feelings, I'm sending in that machine you asked for." "Okay,put it in the emergency bay." "Now how about some reciprocity?" "Let one of the hostages go." "I'll let everyone go, but I want a bus-a big bus- in the parking lot behind the hospital, ady to go at 2:00 P.M." "That's not gon happen." "You shot at the police,michael." "I can't get you a pony ride to midtown." "Good-bye,lieutenant." "Wait,wait,then let me speak to detective tyler, just to make sure he's all right." "He wants to talk to you." "Hi,gene." " I'm gonna shove my fist so far down your windpipe - yeah,I'm fine,I'm fine." "So are the other 12 patients and staff and dr." "Schwahn."

"It's all gonna be fine." "You're gonna ride the train,the traito good times." "Have you thought about how all this is gonna end?" "There hasn't been a successful standoff escape in this city ever." "So I'm asking you,do you know how it's gonna end?" "Let me tell you a story." "A few years... after johnny's operation, one monday night, instead of watching the game with my brother, which was our thing," "I'm spoon-feeding him applesauce,like I used to do when he was a baby." "That about killed me." "Then I start seeing dr." "Schwahn again in all these magazines, saying how,with new technology, putting electrodes in the brain and stuff, that he could fix almost anything." "So I ask him to try again with jony,make him... more the way he used to be." "Turns out... he didn't want to do it." "Dr. Schwahn needed a little persuading." "You can't be serious." "I'm serious all right." "They think they're gonna nail me to the tree?" "Let 'em try." "everything in the psych ward is locked down,even the phones." "I'm not crazy."

"Johnny wasn't playing monopoly anytime soon." "Michael keeps taking off." "You know where he disappears to?" "South of the slot." "What?" "South of the slot... where the lizards play on saxophones, and the old men suck on otter bones." "Get away from the door!" "do you think he knows he's going to die?" "mama!" "maybe he can hear you." "Maya?" "oh,I'm afraid he can't hear or feel anything." "as you can see,his brain activity is practically zero." "You know,the best thing you can do for him is just let him go." "Doctor!" "Doctor!" "darling... yes?" "Darling,is that you?" "It's me." "I'm right here." "no,no." "Don't go." "No." "Don't go." "Don't leave."

"Amc pacer- it feels like a big car,but it isn'T." "You can't fix johnny." "Why did you tell michaelyou could?" "'Cause the man is as strong as an ox and dumb as one,and he had a bomb." "What would you have said?" "Michael's not dumb." "He's angry." "You lobotomized his brother." "And if I were johnny,I'd want someone like thatlooking out for me." "It had to be done." "Johnny was hallucinating." "He was hearing voices." "Have you any idea what that's like?" "I saw you speaking to erica." "Did she tell you why she's in here?" "Did she say she was an actress researching a role or that she's a newspaper reporter?" "Erica is in here because she thought kgb agents were in her home, so she started a fire,killing her entire family... even the dog." "Delusional psychosis,detective." "one can seem normal,then one succumbs to fantasy- time travel,parallel dimensions, thinking the voice on the radio or the tv is speaking to you."

"They're talking about us on the radio!" "I..." "I gotta call my mom." "I gotta call my mom." "sorry I almost got your head blown off." "Is gene making you apologize?" "No,that was a spontaneous eruption of my true sentiment." "You know,you don't have to treat the "crazy" cop with kid gloves." "Good." "'Cause I ain't that sorry,and I still think you're a meatball." "Right." "You know something,tyler?" "You're not so special." "We all go crazy at some point." "Happens to any cop who gives a crap about what he does." "That's why we're alcoholics." "That's why our women leave us." "We're broken toys." "That is all what makes us different from those folks in the psych ward... we keep each other sane." "that's what it's about." "Any decent precinct house- we keep each other sane." "he's right,spaceman." "after all,we're an american band." "I don't care what your tests say." "I saw him smile!" "I won't let you end his life, not while there's a chance my little boy is still in there." "Very well." "We'll keep him on life support." "But I think you're making a mistake." "Are you adding peeping tom to the list of your bizarre attributes,sam?" "whatas that for?" "For helping me remember something happy,something real." "That was the sign they needed." "That's why I'm still alive." "Thank you... for keeping an insane man... sane,annie." "well,I was just heading in." "I was just heading out." "See you tomorrow?" "Tomorrow." "Sam,I'm so glad you're still here." "I'm not gonna let them pull the plug,sam, but I also don't think I can keep doing this." "I'm so sorry." "It's just... it's been months."
