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?
Lt. Ethan Bishop:
You're pretty fancy, Wilson.
Napoleon Wilson:
I have moments.
