Lieutenant Chris Sabian Quotes:

  • Lieutenant Chris Sabian: I once talked a guy out of blowing up the Sears Tower but I can't talk my wife out of the bedroom or my kid off the phone.

  • Lieutenant Danny Roman: I like westerns, like Shane.

    Lieutenant Chris Sabian: It's interesting that you pick one where the hero dies.

    Lieutenant Danny Roman: What are you talking about? He doesn't die. He rides off into the sunset, and that kid says "Come back, Shane!"

    Lieutenant Chris Sabian: That's a common misconception, in the last frame he's slumped over on his horse.

    Lieutenant Danny Roman: So he was slumped, slumped don't mean dead.

  • Lieutenant Danny Roman: You were wrong about me. What if I'm right about them?

    Lieutenant Chris Sabian: But what if you're wrong about me?

  • Lieutenant Chris Sabian: You hurt one of them, you burn up any currency you have with me. They're all I care about. Getting you out of here alive... a distant second.

  • Lieutenant Chris Sabian: I can't believe this, I'm just surrounded by a room of people who wanna go in there and kill him. This is the guy who call you friend. I got nothing invested in this. I wonder why that is, or maybe someday we'll find out.

  • Lieutenant Chris Sabian: Well I guess you think Butch and Sundance lived too.

  • Lieutenant Chris Sabian: You think killing a man gives you the right to negotiate with me?

  • Lieutenant Danny Roman: You working?

    Lieutenant Chris Sabian: It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

  • Lieutenant Chris Sabian: You okay?

  • Lieutenant Chris Sabian: I want you to apologize for telling your mother she looks...

    [Sabian's daughter makes a huge gesture with her hands]

    Lieutenant Chris Sabian: Wide.

    [Sabian smiles and whispers at his daughter]

    Lieutenant Chris Sabian: Wide's not a good word, how'd you like to be called wide?

  • Lieutenant Chris Sabian: "I can't believe this, I'm just surrounded by a room of people who wanna go in there and kill him. This is the guy who call you friend. I got nothing invested in this. I wonder why that is, or maybe someday we'll find out."

  • Lieutenant Chris Sabian: [hanging up the phone on Danny Roman] Relax... he'll call back.
