Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)
Wells:
Look at that, two cops wishing me luck. I'm doomed.
Captain Collins: There are no heroes anymore, Bishop. Just men who follow orders.
Napoleon Wilson: Can't argue with a confident man.
Napoleon Wilson: In my situation, days are like women - each one's so damn precious, but they all end up leaving you.
Napoleon Wilson: I believe in one man.
Starker: Detective, you run this precinct like chicken night in Turkey.
Napoleon Wilson: Got a smoke?
Lt. Ethan Bishop: How did you come by a name like Napoleon Wilson?
Napolean Wilson: I'll tell you some time.
Lt. Ethan Bishop: When will you tell me?
[the street gang breaks through the barricade and rush at Bishop and Wilson]
Napolean Wilson: Make that in a minute or two!
Warden: [after punching Wilson out of a chair without the slightest provocation] He just slipped right out of the chair.
Napoleon Wilson: Yeah, I don't sit in chairs as well as I used to.
Warden: You know Wilson, I'm gonna miss you.
Napoleon Wilson: That's not the truth, Warden. You should always tell the truth. Even a little white lie can sometimes trip a man up.
[trips the Prison Warden with his chain]
Napoleon Wilson: He don't stand up as good as he used to.
Napoleon Wilson: Still have the gun?
Leigh: Two shots. Should I save them for the two of us?
Napoleon Wilson: Save 'em for the first two assholes who come through that vent.
Napoleon Wilson: Chains is all I've got to look forward to.
Leigh: I'm curious about one thing.
Napoleon Wilson: Just one?
Leigh: No, there are other things. But at the moment this one interests me the most.
Napoleon Wilson: What's that?
Leigh: Why didn't you climb through that vent and take off down the sewer in the other direction?
Napoleon Wilson: Well, there are two things a man should never run from, even if they cost him his life. One is a man who's helpless and can't run with you.
Leigh: What's the other?
[Napoleon stares at her]
Leigh: The very least of our problems is that we're out of time.
Wilson: It's an old story with me. I was born out of time.
[Offering Bishop coffee]
Leigh: Black?
Bishop: For over thirty years.
[Wells and Wilson decide who will escape to go for help]
Wilson: We haven't even flipped the coin yet.
Wells: I'm gonna lose.
Wilson: You got a bad attitude, Wells.
Wells: I ALWAYS lose. Had bad luck all my life. How do you think I ended up in here?
Wilson: Maybe your luck will change.
Wells: It might... If we don't flip a coin.
Wilson: What then?
Wells: Potatoes.
Wilson: All right.
Both: One potato, two potato, three potato, four! Five potato, six potato, seven potato more! Eight potato, nine potato, ten potato, eleven! Kiss my ass and go to heaven! Y-O-U spells YOU!
[Wells loses]
Wells: I told you I was gonna lose! Goddamn it, we're gonna do it again!
Leigh: I go through all that, and his gun isn't even loaded.
Leigh: I've never had much faith in anyone coming to my rescue.
Wilson: Maybe you've been associating with the wrong kind of people.
Leigh: I've worked with police officers for five years.
Wells: Look, they've moved the cars.
Bishop: I can't belive it. They parked them where they were before.
Wells: Why'd they do that?
Wilson: From a distance, the street looks normal. Like nothing happened.
Bishop: Like nothing happened? They gunned down five police officers! A secretary, one prisoner, we kill a dozen of them, and that's nothing happened?
Bishop: Well, where are the bodies?
[Bishop looks down at the ground and notices nothing there]
Bishop: They took them away!
Wells: How'd they do it so fast?
Wilson: Maybe they got the good fairy to help them.
Wells: Oh, you really are a smart-ass!
Wells: In the meantime, I got this plan. It's called "Save Ass". And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a bastard!
Kathy: I wanted vanilla twist.
Julie: Why would anybody want to shoot at a police station?
