Quotes:

[the Surgeon General gropes Taslima's breasts]::Surgeon General of Beverly Hills: My God, they're real!

President: All right, I've heard enough. Would you explain to this foot soldier why he's going to do what we tell him to do.::Snake Plissken: What's he talking about?::Malloy: The Plutoxin Seven virus.::Brazen: Genetically engineered. 100% pure death.::Malloy: It starts with a slight headache, then turns into a fever that gets worse. After a short time, you crash. You bleed out like a stuck pig. Not a pretty sight.::Snake Plissken: I get it. You figure that you inject that shit into me, and under the threat of death, I'll do whatever you say... just like in New York.::Malloy: You got it... Snake!::Snake Plissken: One question: which one of you assholes gets to die trying to stick me?::Malloy: You don't understand. It's already in you.::[Snake looks down at his hand, where it was scratched earlier]::Brazen: Catches on quick, doesn't he?

[after the President orders Snake executed]::Malloy: On my command... FIRE!::[the soldiers open fire, without effect. Malloy grabs a rifle, walks up to Snake, and swings the butt through his body]::Brazen: He's not even *here*! He's a hologram!::Snake Plissken: Catches on quick, doesn't she?

[rumble]::Snake Plissken: What's that?::Pipeline: Tsu-nami, Snake! Tsunami!

President: What's it going to be, Plissken? Them or us?::Snake Plissken: I shut down the third world, you win they lose. I shut down America, they win, you lose. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Snake Plissken: Sad story. You got a smoke?

[to the crowd]::Cuervo Jones: I give you the death of SNAKE PLISSKEN!

Snake Plissken: By the way, who gives me the antidote?::Malloy: A medical team will be standing by.::Snake Plissken: Neither one of you?::Malloy: No.::Snake Plissken: Good!::[Snake opens fire on Malloy and Brazen with his assault rifle, but to no effect. Malloy and Brazen do not flinch or even blink]::Malloy: Ha! We thought you might try that, hotshot. That's why the first clip is loaded with blanks. Bye bye, Snake. Good luck!

President: Man is too dumb to survive L.A.::Malloy: We're holograms, Plissken.

Malloy: For God sakes, don't do it, Snake!::Snake Plissken: The name's Plissken.::[pushes the button]

Get out the crane
Construction time again
What is it this time
We're laying a pipeline
Let the beads of sweat flow
Until the ends have met though
Could take a long time
Working on the pipeline
Taking from the greedy
Giving to the needy
On this golden day
Works been sent our way
That could last a lifetime
Working on the pipeline
From the heart of our land
To the mouth of the man
Must reach him sometime
We're laying a pipeline
Taking from the greedy

(B.Spickard, B.Carman)

[Instrumental]

Waiting in my corner, waiting on the bell
I was coming off the ropes, I was going to give them hell
Now I'm waiting
Waiting on the lyric, waiting on the song
I know the muse is coming, I'm holding on
I'm waiting
Waiting on the chances, waiting on the breaks
Waiting on an opportunity that I could take
I'm still waiting
Chorus
And all the time I wonder why
Just what or who the hell I am
Where I'm at, where I'm from
Where I'm going, where I belong
Tell me where I'm coming from
Because I'm waiting in the pipeline
Waiting on a message, waiting on a sign
I was waiting on my holy grail to shine
Waiting with the crossword, waiting on reviews
Waiting on something or someone to give me a clue
I'm still waiting
Chorus
And all the time I wonder why
Just what or who the hell I am
Where I'm at, where I'm from
Where I'm going, where I belong
Why do you keep me waiting on
Because I'm waiting in the pipeline
If the carpet that I'm sitting on could fly
If the ring that's on my finger was a sorcerer's charm
If the cloak that I'm wearing could hide me away
I could wait for forever and a day
If the lady that I'm waiting on isn't mine
Then the castles that I'm building are on shifting sands
If the dream that I'm chasing isn't true
Then the light at the end of the tunnel is just a wrecker's fire
Waiting in the pipeline, waiting on the silence
Waiting on the sound, waiting in the backstage
Waiting on the crowd, waiting
Waiting on the critic, waiting on the gong
Waiting on the DJ to play my song
Play my song, I'm waiting
And all the time I wonder why
Just what or who the hell I am
Where I'm at, where I'm from
Where I'm going, where I belong
Tell me where I'm coming from
Because I'm waiting in the pipeline
Waiting in the pipeline, waiting in the pipeline waiting waiting
