John McClane: Hey, what's a fire sale?

Matt Farrell: It's a three-step... it's a three-step systematic attack on the entire national infrastructure. Okay, step one: take out all the transportation. Step two: the financial base and telecoms. Step three: You get rid of all the utilities. Gas, water, electric, nuclear. Pretty much anything that's run by computers which... which today is almost everything. So that's why they call it a fire sale, because everything must go.

Matt Farrell: Then why you doing this?

John McClane: Because there's no body else to do it right now, that's why. Believe me, if there were somebody else to do it, I'd let them do it, but there's not. So we're doing it.

Matt Farrell: [shrugs] What was I going to do?

John McClane: That's what makes you "that guy."

Matt Farrell: [smiles] Yeah.

Matt Farrell: Seriously, uh, you probably shouldn't antagonize them, since they have all the loaded guns, and whatnot.
