Escape from New York

1981

Bob Hauk: You go in, find the President, bring him out in less than 24 hours, and your're a free man. Snake Plissken: Bullshit! Bob Hauk: I'm making you an offer. Snake Plissken: Get a new president. Bob Hauk: Is that your answer? Snake Plissken: I'm thinking about it. Bob Hauk: Think hard. We're still at war. We need him alive. Snake Plissken: I don't give a fuck about your war... or your president.

President: God save me, and watch over you all.

Bob Hauk: I'm not a fool, Plissken! Snake Plissken: Call me Snake.

Bob Hauk: Remember, once you're inside you're on your own. Snake Plissken: Oh, you mean I can't count on you? Bob Hauk: No. Snake Plissken: Good!

Bob Hauk: It's the survival of the human race, Plissken. Something you don't give a shit about.

Girl in "Chock Full O'Nuts": You're a cop! Snake Plissken: I'm an asshole...

The Duke: They sent in their best man, and when we roam out the 69th street bridge tomorrow, on our way to freedom, we're going to have their best man leading the way - from the neck up! (cheering erupts) The Duke: On the hood of my car!

Brain: They're savages, Mr President.

Bob Hauk: You going to kill me, Snake? Snake Plissken: Not now, I'm too tired. (pause) Snake Plissken: Maybe later.

Bob Hauk: We'd make one hell of a team, Snake! Snake Plissken: The name's Plissken!

(last lines) President: Good evening. Although I shall not be present at this historic summit meeting, I present this in the hope that our great nations may learn to live in peace...

Hauk: Plissken? Plissken what are you doing? Snake Plissken: Playing with myself, I'm going in.

Bob Hauk: I'm ready to kick your ass off of the world, war hero...

Snake Plissken: (radioing a pullout request) All right, get your machine ready, I'm coming out. Bob Hauk: 18 hours, Plissken! Snake Plissken: Listen to me, Hauk. The President is dead, you got that? Somebody's had him for dinner! Bob Hauk: Plissken, if you get back in that glider, I'll shoot you down! You climb out, I'll burn you off the wall! Do you understand that, Plissken? Snake Plissken: No human compassion.

Snake Plissken: Where's the President? Cabbie: The Duke got him. Everybody knows the Duke's got him. You don't have to put a gun to my head. I'll tell you. Snake Plissken: Who's the Duke? Cabbie: The Duke? The Duke of New York, A-Number-1, the Big Man, that's who! Snake Plissken: I wanna meet this Duke. Cabbie: You can't meet the Duke! Are you crazy? Nobody gets to meet the Duke. You meet him once and then you're dead!

Cabbie: Brain? Brain, I brought somebody to see you. Snake Plissken: Harold Hellman . . . Brain: Snake? Maggie: Harold? You never told me you knew Snake. Snake Plissken: I'm glad you remember me. Yeah, a man should remember his past. Kansas City, four years ago, you ran out on me. You left me sitting there. Brain: You were late. Snake Plissken: We were buddies, Harold. You, me, and Fresno Bob. You know what they did to Bob?

Snake Plissken: We did get you out. A lot of people died in the process, I just wondered how you felt about it. President: Well, I... I wanna thank them. This nation appreciates their sacrifice.

The Duke: (torturing Snake Plissken) Snake Plissken? (he tortures him until he passes out) I heard you were dead.

Snake Plissken: Don't fuck with me!

Cronenberg: Tell him. Snake Plissken: Tell me what? Bob Hauk: That idea you had about turning the Gullfire around 180 degress and flying off to Canada... Snake Plissken: What did you do to me asshole? Bob Hauk: My idea, Plissken. Something we've been fooling around with. Two Snake Plissken: (chokes Hauk) Take them out, now! Cronenberg: They're protected by the cores. Fifteen minutes before the last hour is up we can neutralize the charge with X-rays. Bob Hauk: We'll burn out the charges IF you have the President. Snake Plissken: What if I'm a little late? Bob Hauk: No more Hartford Summit. And no more Snake Plissken Snake Plissken: When I get back I'm going to kill you. Bob Hauk: The Gullfire's waiting.
