Lt. John Masterson Quotes in The Hidden (1987)

Lt. John Masterson: Look, Ed, Tom Beck is the best I've got. If I give him to you, I'll never get him back again. My department will then crumble, crime will run rampant, the city will fall into ruin, rampaging hordes will control the streets, and life as we know it will end.

Lt. John Masterson: Alhague, how do you like being human?

Unknown prisoner: [distant] Say, what?

[At this revelation, Tom Beck looks at Lloyd. Lloyd looks back]

Lloyd Gallagher: It's all right.

Lt. John Masterson: Better than being Altairian. Altairians are a filthy people. We could take over this place if we wanted. They have nothing here to stop us.

Lt. John Masterson: Alhague!

Lloyd Gallagher: Yes?

Lt. John Masterson: Before I kill you, I'm curious: how did you find me?

Lloyd Gallagher: You left an angry partner for dead on Altair.

Lt. John Masterson: A mistake.

Lloyd Gallagher: That's what it said.
