Supervisor: [as McClane tries to call up police] Attention, whoever you are, this channel is reserved for emergency calls only.

John McClane: No fucking shit, lady. Does it sound like I'm ordering a pizza?

Walter Garber: You got it, you got it... any other demands?

Ryder: Yeah, well no fucking pizza delivery man.

Walter Garber: No, I mean are you guys like... are you terrorists?

Ryder: Do I sound like a terrorist? Do I terrorize you?

Walter Garber: Actually you don't, but not that I've ever talked to one. So, so... what, this is just about money?

Ryder: Oh, is there anything else?

Walter Garber: There's not dying.

Ryder: Yeah, well you know you live, you die, you either go with the current or you fight it. We all end up at the same place.

Walter Garber: Where's that, Jersey?

Ryder: Yeah, you watch it I was born there man.

Walter Garber: You know I'm just saying, you know you're up in a motorman's cab... so that means you know you're on the radio, which means that you're an easy target. You gotta know the drill.

Ryder: Yeah, I know that soon I won't be alone and If I'm the first to get shot... I'm the first of many to get shot.

Walter Garber: That's correct, but then you'd still be dead.

Ryder: Dead is an improvement on a lot of things I can think of, buddy boy.
