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]
