Oscar Galvin Quotes in Unstoppable (2010)

Oscar Galvin: I am not going to jeopardize any more property or personnel just because some engineer wants to play *hero*! Now you stop your pursuit or I will fire you!

Frank: [chuckles] Fire... You already did.

Oscar Galvin: Already did what?

Frank: You've already fired me. I received my 90 day notice in the mail... 72 days ago.

Oscar Galvin: Did I or did I not tell you to get 1206 off the main?

Connie: I asked them nicely.

Oscar Galvin: [after 777 rips through the derails] What - what the hell was that?

Connie: THAT was ten million pounds of train, Mr. Galvin! And THIS is the sound of me saving your ass!

[punches the transmitter]

Frank: Mr. Galvin, with all due respect, I've been railroading twenty-eight years. I'm telling you, we got a real chance to stop this thing.

Oscar Galvin: No, we already tried.

Frank: That was from the front. We're long hood lead back. It's a different situation. We got more control now.

Oscar Galvin: What if I cancel the derailer and you fail, Frank? Huh? That train will be doing seventy miles an hour into that elevated S-curve in Stanton. The damage will be a hundred times worse.

Frank: Right. I'm just telling you, the portable derailer is worthless. You got too much train traveling entirely too fast.

Oscar Galvin: Maybe you didn't hear what I just said, Colson. I will fire you!

Will: Well, that's too bad. I was just starting to like this job.

Oscar Galvin: God damn it! You listen to me, you son of a bitch! You will be fired!

Frank: You're breaking up... sorry... you're... this garbage is

[pretends that the signal over the radio has become weak]

Connie: Sir, I think they're gone.

Connie: [after suggesting to derail 777 in open farmland, Connie gets on the phone] Mr. Galvin, I know how much money that will cost the company...

Oscar Galvin: Do you think? Ms. Hooper, we are not going to intentionally destroy one of our own trains, not when we can still stop it.

Connie: We can avoid...

Oscar Galvin: Now I'm going to extend you my last ounce of goodwill and pretend this conversation never happened!

[Hangs up]

Connie: [pauses for a moment] He thinks I'm worried about my job.

[hangs up angrily]
