Midnight Run

Jack Walsh: Where am I? I'm in Boise, Idaho. No, no, no, wait a minute, I'm in Anchorage, Alaska. No, no, wait, I'm in Casper, Wyoming. I'm in the lobby of a Howard Johnson's and I'm wearing a pink carnation. Eddie Moscone: What the fuck are you talking about? Jack Walsh: I am not talking to you, I am talking to the other guys. Eddie Moscone: What other guys? Jack Walsh: Well, let me describe the scene to you. There are these guys, see? They've probably been up for like two days. They stink of B.O., they have coffee breath, they're constipated from sittin' on their asses for so long, they're sitting in a van, and they're probably parked right up the street from your office, Eddie. YOUR PHONE IS TAPPED!

Jonathan Mardukas: I got money, y'know. Jack Walsh: I'm sure you do. Jonathan Mardukas: I'll give you whatever you want. Jack Walsh: Start by shutting up. I know you all of two minutes and already I don't like ya. Jonathan Mardukas: Gee, that's too bad. I really like you.

Jonathan Mardukas: Did she hurt you, Jack? Jack Walsh: Yeah, she did. Jonathan Mardukas: I'm sorry. Jack Walsh: What're you sorry about? Jonathan Mardukas: I'm sorry you're hurt. Jack Walsh: I'm not hurt. Jonathan Mardukas: You just said you were hurt. Jack Walsh: I'm not hurt. Jonathan Mardukas: You just said you were hurt! Jack Walsh: I didn't say I was hurt, YOU said I was hurt. Jonathan Mardukas: I asked you if you were hurt and you said "Yeah, I'm hurt." Jack Walsh: That's because you made me say it. Startin' to put words in my mouth. Jonathan Mardukas: Jack, you're a grown man. You're in control of your own words. Jack Walsh: You're goddamn right I am. Now here come two words for you: Shut the fuck up.

Jack Walsh: I can't keep you cuffed on a commercial flight, and I gotta check my gun with my luggage, but you fuck with me once and I'm gonna break your neck. Jonathan Mardukas: I can't fly. Jack Walsh: What? Jonathan Mardukas: You heard me, I can't fly. Jack Walsh: No, no, no. You're going to have to do better than that, pal. Jonathan Mardukas: No, I don't have to do better than that, because it's the truth, I can't fly: I suffer from aviaphobia. Jack Walsh: What does that mean? Jonathan Mardukas: It means I can't fly. I also suffer from acrophobia and claustrophobia. Jack Walsh: I'll tell you what: if you don't cooperate, you're gonna suffer from "fistophobia".

Jack Walsh: I know my rights. You owe me phone calls. Alonzo Mosely: What should be of paramount importance to you right now is not the phone calls. It's the fact that you're gonna spend ten years for impersonating a federal agent. Jack Walsh: Ten years for impersonating a fed, huh? Alonzo Mosely: Ten years. Jack Walsh: How comes no one's after you?

Alonzo Mosely: Let me tell you something, asshole. I've been working on this Jimmy Serrano thing for about six years; Mardukas is my shot. I'm gonna bring him into federal court, and I don't want any third-rate rent-a-thug who couldn't cut it as a cop in Chicago bringing him to LA on some bullshit local charge. Do I make myself understood? Jack Walsh: Can I ask you something? These sunglasses, they're really nice: are they government-issued, or all you guys go to the same store to get them?
