Mr. Mattson Quotes in The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)

Mr. Mattson: Okay, kid, out loud now so's I can hear what you're sayin'.

Bud Carmody: I'm checkin' the passengers gettin' on and off...

Mr. Mattson: Uh-huh.

Bud Carmody: Front and back. Shuttin' the doors. Rear section, first and the first section... and the doors are closed. Now, I'm checking my indicator lights to make sure all the doors are locked. I remove my switch key, and back out the window for a distance of 3 car-lengths, to make sure no one's being dragged. 51st street, next stop; next stop, 51st street. How'd I do?

Mr. Mattson: [a senior conductor's training the new conductor] Okay, kid, out loud now so's I can hear what you're sayin'.

Bud Carmody: [the junior conductor begins to verbally describe each action as he performs it] I'm checkin' the passengers gettin' on and off...

Mr. Mattson: Uh-huh.

Bud Carmody: Front and back. Shuttin' the doors. Rear section, first and the first section... and the doors are closed. Now, I'm checking my indicator lights to make sure all the doors are locked. I remove my switch key, and back out the window for a distance of 3 car-lengths, to make sure no one's being dragged.

[Gets on the train's microphone]
