Judge Dredd: Release the hostage unharmed, and I guarantee you a sentence of life in an iso-cube without parole. Ethan Zwirner: Life without parole? That's the deal you're offering? Judge Dredd: Only if you comply. Your crimes include multiple homicide and the attempted murder of a Judge. If you do not comply, the sentence is death. Ethan Zwirner: You aren't a very good negotiator, Judge. You know why? You got no fucking leverage! Here's the deal. You let me walk or I blow her fucking brains out. Okay? Judge Dredd: Negotiation's over. Ethan Zwirner: What're you doin? Didn't you hear what I said? I'll kill the bitch! Judge Dredd: Yeah, I heard you, Hotshot. Ethan Zwirner: What'd you say? Judge Dredd: I said, "Hot Shot."

Chief Judge: Her final Academy score put her three percentile points below a pass. Judge Dredd: So what's she doing in a uniform? Chief Judge: [To an intercom] Rookie Anderson. Cassandra Anderson: Sir. Chief Judge: What can you tell me about the person I am with? Cassandra Anderson: Male. Another Judge. I can feel anger. And control. But.....there's something else. Something....behind the control. Something... almost... Chief Judge: Thank you, Anderson. That will do. Judge Dredd: She's a mutant. Chief Judge: The Judges Council have chosen to overlook her status. You will, too. She's the most powerful psychic we've ever come across by a huge margin. The Judges are losing the war for the city. We believe she could be a major asset. As I said, her final score was only three points below a pass. It's marginal. Judge Dredd: It's not marginal. She failed. Chief Judge: The girl's getting one more chance. I want you to take her out. Give her one day in the field, supervised. See if she makes t

Judge Dredd: A rookie Judge on assessment is likely to be involved in armed combat. One in five don't survive the first day. You may be required to carry out on-the-spot executions of convicted felons. Judge Cassandra Anderson: Yes, sir. Judge Dredd: Incorrect sentencing is an automatic fail. Disobeying a direct order from your assessment officer is an automatic fail. Losing your primary weapon or having it taken from you is an automatic fail. Judge Cassandra Anderson: Yes, sir. Judge Dredd: You ready, rookie? Judge Cassandra Anderson: I am. Judge Dredd: Your assessment starts now.

Kay: I bet you thought you were gonna make your family proud, huh? Not much chance of that now. [Picks up Cassandra's Lawgiver] Now, this, I've always wanted one of these. You were shit out of luck when you ran into the Ma-Ma clan. But don't feel too bad. I seen a lot of Judges in my time, and you're just not cut out for this. I mean, if you didn't get killed today, it was going to be tomorrow. Or it was going to be the day after that. Anyway. Today it is. You got any last words, bitch? Judge Cassandra Anderson: That's funny. I was going to ask you that. Bitch.

Judge Dredd: What's the price of a Judge these days? Judge Lex: Million. Split four ways. Judge Dredd: Three ways now. Judge Lex: Suits me. Judge Dredd: Doesn't sound like much. To betray the law. To betray the City. Judge Lex: Save that shit for the rookies. Twenty years I've been on the streets. You know what Mega City One is, Dredd? It's a fucking meat grinder. People go in one end. And meat comes out the other. All we do is turn the handle.

Judge Dredd: [after killing Judge Alvarez] Two-way split. Judge Lex: Yeah, I'd be breaking a sweat, if you hadn't just run out of bullets. Armor-piercing. Judge Dredd: Wait. Judge Lex: [lowers his weapon in disbelief] Wait? Are you kidding me? Did you just say "wait"? Judge Dredd, the Judge Dredd, finally gets on the wrong end of a gun, and what he says is "wait." You know what? I expected more of you. I mean, wait for what? Wait for me to change my mind? Wait for another two or three seconds of life because you're so fucking weak you just can't stand to see it end? Judge Dredd: No. Judge Dredd: Wait for her to shoot you.
