Snow Quotes in The Warriors (1979)

Snow: It's the Turnbull A.C.'s.

Cowboy: Think they forgot about the truce?

Vermin: No shit!

Ajax: Those lousy skinhead fucks!

Cochese: We're going in there with nothing?

Snow: We're going like everybody else: nine guys, no weapons.

Vermin: Where's the rest of them?

Rembrandt: Where's everybody, else?

Snow: Cops got Ajax. We don't know about, Swan.

Rembrandt: Oh, Jesus.

Cochise: Are you sure about Ajax?

Snow: Real sure.

Vermin: Bet he went out swinging.

Snow: We better go look for Swan.

Cowboy: Okay, what are we gonna do now?

Swan: We're going back.

Vermin: You mind tellin' me how? Fuckin' Coney Island must be 50 to 100 miles from here!

Swan: It's the only choice we got.

Cochise: Yeah, real simple. Except that every cop in this city is lookin' to bust our heads.

Swan: We got somethin' else to think about then the cops.

Vermin: Yeah, what?

Snow: The truce. Is it still on?

Vermin: If it ain't, we're gonna have to bop our way back!

Cowboy: Shit, I wish we was packed.

[first lines]

Langral: Again, what happened in that hotel room?

Snow: Oh, it was coupon night and I was trampolining your wife.

[Snow is punched in the face]

Langral: You're a real comedian aren't you, Snow?

Snow: Well I guess that's why they call it the punch line.

[Snow is punched again]

Langral: You don't like me, do you?

Snow: Don't flatter yourself. I don't like anybody.

Langral: With that attitude, I can see why nobody likes you.

Snow: Oh, come on. People love me. Just ask your wife.

[Snow is punched again]

Emilie Warnock: Who are you? Who sent you?

Snow: Your old man did.

Emilie Warnock: My dad. What did he say?

Snow: Well, I didn't get to meet him personally. He kind of delegated your rescue. He had a big conference on the corn surplus.

Emilie Warnock: You're kidding me?

Snow: No. No, apparently, we should all be eating more corn.

Emilie Warnock: About my father?

Snow: Oh, yeah. I made that other bit up.

Emilie Warnock: Did he have a message for me?

Snow: Yes. You are adopted.

Emilie Warnock: Are you always this obnoxious?

Snow: Shh...

[Emilie gets quiet]

Emilie Warnock: [whispering] Did you hear something?

Snow: No, I'm just enjoying the silence.

[Snow gives Emilie an injection]

Emilie Warnock: What is that?

Snow: That's to stop the bleeding. And hopefully the talking.

Langral: Who was the mystery man on the phone?

Snow: Uh, his name was Fuck You.

Langral: Really?

Snow: Yeah, he was Asian.

Snow: Ok, see here on the map?

Emilie Warnock: Yeah.

Snow: That's where the pod is. You get in it, you fly away. The good guys will come and get you, ok?

Emilie Warnock: On my own?

Snow: You're a big girl, right? Here's an apple and a gun. Don't talk to strangers, shoot them.

Emilie Warnock: I know something about you. Amazing what you could find out as First Daughter in old Army documents. Last name Snow. First name... Marion.

Snow: My old man was a John Wayne fan.

Emilie Warnock: Must have been tough on the playground.

Snow: That's why I'm so lovable.

Emilie Warnock: Looks like you're a free man.

Snow: Thanks to you.

Emilie Warnock: What kind of Robin Hood would I be if I didn't stop to rescue Maid Marion once in a while?

Harry Shaw: We could send in one man. One man with one very specific order. To get Emilie Warnock out.

President Warnock: Who?

[cuts to]

Snow: I'd rather castrate myself with blunt rocks.

[last lines]

Snow: You know, I've got this feeling your old man's not going to approve of this. I mean, I can't really see this going anywhere, can you?

Emilie Warnock: Depends on how good you are in bed.

Snow: Well in that case, I give it at least 10 minutes.

Emilie Warnock: You can't smoke in here.

Snow: All evidence to the contrary.

Langral: I don't like hurting you, Snow.

Snow: Is that why you're having him do it?

Langral: I can have Rupert bludgeon you all night.

Snow: I'm being beaten up by a guy called Rupert?

Snow: Don't get me wrong. It's a dream vacation. I mean, I load up. I go into space. I get inside the maximum-security nuthouse. Save the President's daughter, if she's not dead already. Get past all the psychos who've just woken up. I'm thrilled that you would think of me.

Snow: I didn't get the girl.

Harry Shaw: Ain't that the story of your life?

Snow: It's easy to be a saint when nothing's on the line.

Emilie Warnock: [moving away from Snow] What the hell are you doing?

Snow: I'm bringing you back from the dead.

Emilie Warnock: I was dead?

Snow: Yeah and so far, I think I prefer you that way. Come on, that's enough fore-play. We gotta get out of here.

Harry Shaw: Tell me what I can do to help, Snow.

Snow: Uh, shoot Langral?

[after Emilie's head lands on Snow's crotch]

Snow: Oh, you don't have to do that. A simple "thank you" is enough.

Snow: [facing impossible situation] I think I left my cape at home.

Emilie Warnock: What if this doesn't work?

Snow: Well, then we're probably gonna die.

Emilie Warnock: Is that your idea of encouragement?

Snow: [after injecting Emilie] That'll freeze the nerves in this spot for 24 hours. You want some in your mouth?

Harry Shaw: [over the comms] Snow, what's going on?

Snow: [on the ship, rubbing his head] You know, global warming, some celebrity is getting a boob-job, Congress is screwing the pooch again. You know, same old.

Harry Shaw: Snow, come on man! I mean, what's going on there?

Harry Shaw: Oh yeah. Well, you wild-cat smacked me in the head with a fire extinguisher and locked herself in some room. So, she's safe. Send the cavalry.

Langral: Listen, Snow. You stick to the plan. You better do your job or I'll hit you with a Sherman tank. Got that?

Harry Shaw: A Sherman tank? Yeah, right. Toss my caber, Langral. I got other things to do.

Snow: [after Mace dies in the breached air-lock] Well, that's that then.

Emilie Warnock: I'm sorry.

Snow: Yeah right. I'm sure you are.

Emilie Warnock: I know he was your friend.

Snow: [upset] I don't need your sympathy. Neither does he.

Emilie Warnock: No, no. He needed a friend who wouldn't hang him out to dry.

Snow: [even angrier] Yeah. I'm taking the rap for something I didn't do, okay! I didn't put him here!

Snow: I'm happy not to go.

Harry Shaw: You're going.

Snow: Okay.

Harry Shaw: Go now.

Emilie Warnock: So, what do I call you?

Snow: You know what? Don't call me.

Emilie Warnock: What's your name?

Snow: Snow.

Emilie Warnock: Snow?

Snow: Yeah. Or Sir. You can decide.

Langral: I'm here to tell you the good news, Snow.

Snow: [in his holding cell, sarcastically] You're finally getting payed? Congratulations.

Langral: You've been convicted. First degree murder and conspiracy to commit espionage against the United States. That's the set-up. Do you want to hear the punch-line?

Snow: Yeah. I'm dying to.

Langral: M.S. One. Thirty years stasis. No parole. Effective immediately.

Snow: And nothing about a constitutional right to a fair hearing?

Langral: I think you waived that right when you shot Armstrong.

Harry Shaw: Nut?

Snow: [lighting up cigarette] Nah, I'm trying to give them up.

Alex: [cocking gun] Don't move.

Snow: Oh God, I hate that.

Snow: You know this may come as a surprise to you, but Frank didn't trust you guys anymore. So, he asked me to back him up. He wanted some one from outside the agency. You know, to protect the package.

Langral: Who was your back up guy?

Snow: Why do I get the feeling not telling you is the only thing keeping him alive?

Snow: [about MS-One] So, how many prisoners exactly?

Langral: 497. Mainly rapists and murderers. You'll fit right in.

Snow: [about Emilie] How do we know she's not dead already?

Harry Shaw: She's wearing a telementry medical transmitter. All the first family have them.

Snow: So, if I actually find her, if she is alive; how do we get off the ship?

Snow: Easy. Hitch a ride, man. There's an escape pod on level five.

Langral: What happened in that room in New York?

Snow: What-what was the question?

[is punched in the face]

Langral: [angrily] What happened in that room?

Snow: [answering his phone] Mace.

John James Mace: Why do you ever answer your phone?

Snow: What the hell is going on?

John James Mace: Listen. You have to get out, okay. It's a double-cross. They're coming for you! You have to get out now!

[repeated line]

Snow: I hate heights!

Langral: We had the Colonel under surveillance. He was selling secrets about our space programs.

Snow: Well, that's interesting because Frank told me he was protecting them.

Langral: Did he tell you this before or after you killed him?

Snow: Why would I kill him? He was a friend of mine.

Emilie Warnock: So, what's the plan? Surely you have a plan to rescue the hostages?

Snow: What hostages?

Emilie Warnock: The hostages! The staff, the guards... Should I write it out in crayon?

Snow: Are you setting me up? Is that what this is?

Langral: All we know is the Colonel arranged the meeting in that hotel and somehow, you showed up and killed him.

Emilie Warnock: [about Hydell's scars] Why do they do that?

Snow: Do what?

Emilie Warnock: The markings on the face.

Snow: Other prisoners do it to them. Lets everyone know you're a rat.

Harry Shaw: Did you make contact with our friend?

Snow: Affirmative.

Harry Shaw: And what about the thing that you lost? Did our friend come through for us?

Snow: [defeated] No, Harry.

Snow: Dorinda, you're trying to piss standing up. You're gonna get a lot of people wet.

Snow: [confronted by vampires] What gang is this?

Snow: We've been looking for ya!

Chris Kelvin: Can you tell me what's happening here?

Snow: I could tell you what's happening, but I don't know if it would really tell you what's happening.

Snow: He attacked me. There I am - somehow, there I am - and I couldn't tell you... couldn't tell you how I'm there or who I am or what's going on. But before I can get to that, what's this over here - coming at me? What... what are you trying to do? Oh, I see, you're trying to kill me. Yeah confuse me. I'll tell you about some confusing. How about bingo, there you are. And, whoop, there's my welcoming committee, and you dropped your knife and this is a good night. And, oh, by the way, uh, after all that, I find out, this, uh... whoever this is... get my first good look in, and it happens to be... I survived the first thirty seconds of this life... whatever you want to call it... by killing someone. And, oh, ah, by killing someone who happens to be me. See most people, I would think most people in this position would be like, "This... Ah, hmm... I don't know." However, this is at least, this is an incredible opportunity. This is a... what if this is a... this is a gift? I'm a gift. Hey.

Gordon: I say we use the Higgs device on him.

Snow: How much sleep ya need, Kelvin?

Chris Kelvin: How much sleep?

Snow: Yeah. Um, how long ya think you can go without sleep?

Chris Kelvin: Depends.

Snow: Well, when you do go to sleep... I find I sleep much better with the door locked.

Snow: You know what happens when women get together on something? All kinds of shit you can't explain happens. But good shit. Mysterious, but good. Usually very good. Things get solved.
