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

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?

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.

Quotes:

Frank White: From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

Frank White: I'm not your problem. I'm a business man.

Frank White: You think ambushing me in some nightclub's gonna stop what makes people take drugs? This country spends $100 billion a year on getting high, and it's not because of me. All that time I was wasting in jail, it just got worse. I'm not your problem. I'm just a businessman.

Jump: Yo, congratulations, Frank. Congratulations, man. Them Columbian motherfuckers, they took permanent vacation in hell, if you know what I mean.::Frank White: Well, I must've been away too long because my feelings are dead. I feel no remorse.

Joey Dalesio: I've got a message from Frank White. He wants to sit down, he wants to talk.::Arty Clay: You tell him I don't talk to nigger lovers.::Joey Dalesio: Well, he says he's got things on his mind that he wants to discuss with you, and he wants to know where and he wants to know when.::Arty Clay: You tell him in fucking Hell, that's where. He's gonna wish his lawyer left him fucking those Sambos in the joint when I get through with him.

Jump: I wanna know who I'm selling drugs to, you know what I mean?::Joey Dalesio: You don't sell drugs, my brother. You shoot people.::Jump: Yo, I'm unemployed. Ain't nobody left.

Dennis Gilley: I heard a rumor about you.::Frank White: What's that?::Dennis Gilley: I heard you got AIDS getting dicked up your ass in prison. That's what I heard.::Frank White: I thought about you every time I jerked off, dickhead.

Frank White: When the D.A's office investigated the sudden death of Arty Clay, they found that he left a $13 million estate. How do you explain that? There there's Larry Wong, who owned half of Chinatown when he passed away. Larry used to rent his tenements to Asian refuges, his own people, for $800 a month to share a single toilet on the same floor. How 'bout King Tito? He had thirteen-year-old girls hooking for him on the street. Those guys are dead because I don't want to make money that way. Emil Zappa, the Mata brothers, they're dead because they were running this city into the ground.::Roy Bishop: You expected to get away with killing all these people?::Frank White: I spent half my life in prison. I never got away with anything, and I never killed anybody that didn't deserve it.::Roy Bishop: Who made you judge and jury?::Frank White: Well, it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

Frank White: There are some things I don't do.

Frank White: How come you never came to see me?::Jump: Who wanted to see you in a cage, man?
