In the Line of Fire

Mitch Leary: [on phone] Frank? Frank Horrigan: Yeah? Leary: Frank Horrigan, the Secret Service agent? Horrigan: Yeah, what'd I win? Leary: My God, that really was you in my apartment this afternoon! Horrigan: [turns off stereo] McCrawley? Leary: Why not call me Booth? Horrigan: Why not Oswald? Leary: Because Booth had flair, panache - a leap to the stage after he shot Lincoln.

Mitch Leary: Frank, you of all people, I want you to understand because we both USED to think this country was a very special place... Frank Horrigan: You don't know what I used to think! Leary: Oh, but you know about me? Do you have any idea what I've done for God and country? Some pretty FUCKING HORRIBLE things! I don't even remember who I was before they sunk their claws into me! Horrigan: They made you into a real monster, right? Leary: That's right and now they want to destroy me because we can't have monsters roaming the quiet countryside, now can we? Horrigan: What do you see when you're in the dark, and the demons come? Leary: I see you, Frank. I see you standing over the grave of another dead president. Horrigan: That's not going to happen. I'm onto you. Leary: Forget it, Frank. I am willing to trade my life for his. I am smart, and I am willing, and that is all it takes. That president is coming home from California in a box. Horrigan: Where in California? Leary: Uh, the addr

Frank Horrigan: I want you to give yourself up. Mitch Leary: So I can live a long and fruitful life? Horrigan: We can work something out. Leary: Fuck you. Don't fucking lie to me. I have a rendezvous with death, and so does the President, and so do you if you get too close. Horrigan: You have a rendezvous with my ass, motherfucker! Leary: Frank. Do you know how easily I could kill you, Frank? Do you know how many times I've watched you go in and out of that apartment? You're alive because I have allowed you to live. So you show me some goddamn respect!

White House Chief of Staff Harry Sargent: The president came off looking like a coward on national television. Frank Horrigan: I thought he came off all right. You're the one that came off looking like a damn coward. Sargent: This is a just a joke to you? Horrigan: No, you're a joke to me, Harry! You have no idea what we do around here! Bill Watts: That's enough, Horrigan! Sargent: You call me Harry one more time, you'll be busting counterfeiters in Alaska! You keep him away from the president, away from the White House, and you sure as hell better keep him away from me! Watts: Don't talk to the White House Chief of Staff like that. Horrigan: I don't work for him. Watts: No, you work for me. At least you did. You're off my detail.

Mitch Leary: Do you believe in the nobility of suicide? Frank Horrigan: No. But if you wanna blow your goddamn head off, go ahead, be my guest. Mitch Leary: Nicely put, except I don't want to leave this miserable world alone. Lilly Raines: West tower, do you have a shot? Sniper: Negative, too dark. Target unclear. Leary: It's better to die with a friend, don't you think Frank? Horrigan: A friend? You're a damn killer, you sick bastard. Leary: Don't talk to me like that! I saved your life. You owe me. Horrigan: I don't owe you shit. Leary: I was always honest and fair with you. Horrigan: Go ahead and shoot. Go ahead. [the other agents hear him on the ground floor] Agent Chavez: It's Frank. [to people reacting at the audio] Quiet! Quiet! Horrigan: Come on, dammit. Raines: Frank are you talking to me? Horrigan: [trying to keep talking to Leary] Well, what are you waiting for? Leary: What am I waiting for? I'm waiting for you to show me some goddamn gratitude. [aims pistol as Horrigan move

Frank Horrigan: Take my hand. If you don't, you'll die. Mitch Leary: You want to save me, Frank? Frank Horrigan: To be completely fair and honest with you, no. But it's my job.
