    [Hostages cheer]

    Mr. Blue: Why is that of interest to you, sir?

    Old Man: Well, a person likes to know his worth.

    Mr. Blue: One million dollars.

    Old Man: That's not so terrific.

  • Mr. Blue: Be quiet! Now be quiet! nothing will happen as long as you obey my orders.

  • Mr. Blue: You a policeman?

    Denny Doyle: Uh, Denny Doyle.

    Mr. Green: What for?

    Denny Doyle: Running a red signal. How about you?

    Mr. Green: Twice. Once on the Canarsie...

    Mr. Blue: That's right, Mr. Green. Tell Mr. Doyle all about yourself, will you?

  • Mr. Blue: Now, then, ladies and gentlemen, do you see this gun? It fires 750 rounds of 9-millimeter ammunition per minute. In other words, if all of you simultaneously were to rush me, not a single one of you would get any closer than you are right now. I do hope I've made myself understood.

  • Mr. Blue: Excuse me, do you people still execute in this state?

    Lt. Garber: What? Oh, execute. No, not at the moment.

    [he then steps on the 3rd rail - electrocuting himself]

    Lt. Garber: Be reasonable, will you? We're trying to cooperate with you but we can't do anything if you don't give us enough time to work with.

    Mr. Blue: Forty-nine minutes.

    Lt. Garber: We're dealing with City Hall, for God's sake, you know what a mess of red tape that is?

    Mr. Blue: Forty-nine minutes.

    Lt. Garber: Look, fella, we know how to tell time as well as you do, but we're not gonna get anywhere if all you do is repeat forty-nine minutes!

    Mr. Blue: Forty-*eight* minutes.

    Mr. Blue: I trust Mr. Brown, I do not trust Mr. Grey. I think he's an enormous, arrogant pain in the ass who could turn out to be trouble. I also think that he is mad. Why do you think they threw him out of the Mafia?

  • Mr. Blue: The Africans used to pay me five thousand.

    Mr. Green: Five thousand a month? Geez...

    Mr. Green: I don't know. I woke up in the middle of the night.

    [bright flash followed by a loud 'bang']

    Mr. Green: Sheesh.

    Mr. Blue: What happened?

    Mr. Green: Must have bucked.

    Mr. Blue: You told me you could drive this thing.

    Mr. Green: It wasn't me.

    Denny Doyle: No, it was the train. She bucks all the time, especially in that switching. She's a dog.

  • Mr. Green: I'm taking your brake handle, and the reverse key,

    [sneezes]

    Mr. Green: . I want your cut-in key also.

    [Doyle hands them to Mr. Green]

    Mr. Green: That's it.

    Mr. Blue: You'll be hearing from Command Center in a minute or two. You won't answer; you'll ignore the call. Is that perfectly clear, My. Doyle?

    Denny Doyle: Oh yeah, yes, sir, they can call all they want to. I'm deaf.

  • Mr. Blue: What did they catch you doing?

    Mr. Green: Nothing. They framed me. The beakies needed a fall guy.

    Mr. Blue: The beakies?

    Mr. Green: Transit cops. Undercover guys. They got wind of a gang passing dope, you know, transporting from downtown uptown and giving it to a motorman, somebody picking it up in Harlem. They tried to pin the evidence on me but they didn't find anything.

    Mr. Blue: You were innocent?

    Mr. Green: Course I was innocent. Do you think I'd do a thing like that? What's the matter with you?

    Mr. Blue: That's entirely possible.

    Mr. Green: I don't know. I woke up in the middle of the night.

    [a bright flash comes from the track, followed by a bang]

    Mr. Green: Sheesh.

    Mr. Blue: What happened?

    Mr. Green: Must have bucked.

    Mr. Blue: You told me you could drive this thing.

    Lt. Garber: You're gonna make every man, woman and child in New York City close their eyes and count to a hundred, right?

  • Nice Guy Eddie: C'mon, throw in a buck!

    Mr. Pink: Uh-uh, I don't tip.

    Nice Guy Eddie: You don't tip?

    Mr. Pink: Nah, I don't believe in it.

    Nice Guy Eddie: You don't believe in tipping?

    Mr. Blue: You know what these chicks make? They make shit.

    Mr. Pink: Don't give me that. She don't make enough money that she can quit.

    Nice Guy Eddie: I don't even know a fucking Jew who'd have the balls to say that. Let me get this straight: you don't ever tip?

    Mr. Pink: I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.

    Mr. Blue: Hey, our girl was nice.

    Mr. Pink: She was okay. She wasn't anything special.

    Mr. Blue: What's special? Take you in the back and suck your dick?

    Nice Guy Eddie: I'd go over twelve percent for that.

  • [first lines]

    Mr. Brown: Let me tell you what 'Like a Virgin' is about. It's all about a girl who digs a guy with a big dick. The entire song. It's a metaphor for big dicks.

    Mr. Blonde: No, no. It's about a girl who is very vulnerable. She's been fucked over a few times. Then she meets some guy who's really sensitive...

    Mr. Brown: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... Time out Greenbay. Tell that fucking bullshit to the tourists.

    Joe: Toby... Who the fuck is Toby? Toby...

    Mr. Brown: 'Like a Virgin' is not about this sensitive girl who meets a nice fella. That's what "True Blue" is about, now, granted, no argument about that.

    Mr. Orange: Which one is 'True Blue'?

    Nice Guy Eddie: 'True Blue' was a big ass hit for Madonna. I don't even follow this Tops In Pops shit, and I've at least heard of "True Blue".

    Mr. Orange: Look, asshole, I didn't say I ain't heard of it. All I asked was how does it go? Excuse me for not being the world's biggest Madonna fan.

    Mr. Blonde: Personally, I can do without her.

    Mr. Blue: I like her early stuff. You know, 'Lucky Star', 'Borderline' - but once she got into her 'Papa Don't Preach' phase, I don't know, I tuned out.

    Mr. Brown: Hey, you guys are making me lose my... train of thought here. I was saying something, what was it?

    Joe: Oh, Toby was this Chinese girl, what was her last name?

    Mr. White: What's that?

    Joe: I found this old address book in a jacket I ain't worn in a coon's age. What was that name?

    Mr. Brown: What the fuck was I talking about?

    Mr. Pink: You said 'True Blue' was about a nice girl, a sensitive girl who meets a nice guy, and that 'Like a Virgin' was a metaphor for big dicks.

    Mr. Brown: Lemme tell you what 'Like a Virgin' is about. It's all about this cooze who's a regular fuck machine, I'm talking morning, day, night, afternoon, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick.

    Mr. Blue: How many dicks is that?

    Mr. White: A lot.

    Mr. Brown: Then one day she meets this John Holmes motherfucker and it's like, whoa baby, I mean this cat is like Charles Bronson in the 'Great Escape', he's digging tunnels. Now, she's gettin' the serious dick action and she's feeling something she ain't felt since forever. Pain. Pain.

    Joe: Chew? Toby Chew?

    Mr. Brown: It hurts her. It shouldn't hurt her, you know, her pussy should be Bubble Yum by now, but when this cat fucks her it hurts. It hurts just like it did the first time. You see the pain is reminding a fuck machine what it once was like to be a virgin. Hence, 'Like a Virgin'.

    Joe: Wong?
