Young Fireman Quotes in The Towering Inferno (1974)

[the firemen are trapped in an elevator shaft]

Chief O'Hallorhan: We'll go down by rope. We're gonna rappel down to 65, get on top of that elevator, use it as an exit.

Young Fireman: I can't make it. I'll fall. I know I'll fall.

Chief O'Hallorhan: Okay. Then you better go first. That way when you fall, you won't take any of us with you.

Scott: What building's on the corner of Montgomery and... aw Jesus, it's the Glass Tower.

Young Fireman: What?

Scott: The Glass Tower! I sure hope that fire's on the first floor!

Young Fireman: You ever fight one in a high rise?

Scott: Yeah.

Young Fireman: Is it as tough as I hear?

Scott: Like being inside a chimney!
