Dick Jones: Sounds like I'm in a lot of trouble. You better take me in.

RoboCop: I will.

[Then RoboCop's Directive prevents him from arresting Jones, and is trying to fight it]

Dick Jones: What's the matter officer? I'll tell you what's the matter. It's a little insurance policy called "Directive 4", my little contribution to your psychological profile. Any attempt to arrest a senior officer of OCP results in shutdown. What did you think? That you were an ordinary police officer? You're our product, and we can't very well have our products turning against us, can we?

Dick Jones: [takes a gun and holds it against the Old Man's head, wrapping his arm around his neck] Get up! Get up! I want a chopper, now! We will walk to the roof very calmly, I will board the chopper with my hostage. Anybody tries to stop me... the old geezer gets it.

The Old Man: Dick, you're fired!

[Directive 4 disappears from RoboCop's status monitor]

Hophead: [Points the gun at the mom's head] I'm gonna blow her brains out.

Grocery Pop: I'll open the safe.

Hophead: Good boy.

[the pop works on the safe]

Hophead: Come on! Well, you better open that on the count of three. One. Two.

[RoboCop comes in]
