Die Hard: With A Vengeance Page #8

Synopsis: John McClane is now almost a full-blown alcoholic and is suspended from the NYPD. But when a bomb goes off in the Bonwit Teller Department Store the police go insane trying to figure out what's going on. Soon, a man named Simon calls and asks for McClane. Simon tells Inspector Walter Cobb that McClane is going to play a game called "Simon Says". He says that McClane is going to do the tasks he assigns him. If not, he'll set off another bomb. With the help of a Harlem electrician, John McClane must race all over New York trying to figure out the frustrating puzzles that the crafty terrorist gives him. But when a bomb goes off in a subway station right by the Federal Reserve (the biggest gold storage in the world) things start to get heated.

Principal, I don't want to alarm

your children.

Move them all into the auditorium

and keep them calm.

We're coming to the dam.

You can call the rear guard.

Rear guard.

You can close up now.

We've reached the dam.

You can come up now.

Nils.

You can close in now.

Nils.

Attention, attention.

Nils is dead.

I repeat-

Nils is dead, fuckhead.

So's his pal...

and those four guys

from the East German all-stars-

your boys at the bank-

They'll be a little late.

John.

In the back of the truck

you're driving,

there's $13 billion

worth in gold bullion.

Would a deal be out

of the question?

I got a deal for you.

Come out of hiding,

and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

How colorful.

I told you not to toy with him!

Thank you.

That's very helpful.

You jeopardized the mission

and the contract.

Ivan.

Herr Vogle will help me

reach the ship.

I'm going to put

an end to this.

Stop!

Targo!

Targo!

Here! Come here!

We blow the dam.

What?

We drown him.

Up there!

Walter!

Take a look at this.

Janitor said it was delivered

this morning. About 10:30, right?

Not hooked up.

Yeah?

O.K. Now take a look

at the front.

We drill the hinges.

Get everybody out.

Unh!

Unh...

Unh!

Whoa...

Whoa!

Aah!

Aah!

Uhh!

McClane!

McClane!

Where are you?

Over here!

Hell of a way of flagging

somebody down.

Did you go to Yankee Stadium?

Yeah. There's nobody there.

You didn't see nobody?

Nobody was following you?

He's jerking us around.

Come on! Come on!

Holy sh*t!

Go! Go! Go!

It's not rigged.

Pull it.

Well, I'd say you could

call off your search.

Can you stop it?

I shouldn't even touch it.

Who knows what booby traps

this thing's got?

What about the code?

No word.

When do we evacuate?

Simon says he sees one kid

leave the building-boom.

We can't stand here

with our thumb up our ass

waiting for this

freaking thing to blow up!

Sh*t!

Keep your head down!

Hold it steady!

Go! Go!

They're in our way!

Go around them!

I found out who's

the 21 st president-

some guy named Arthur.

Chester A. Arthur?

Chester A. Arthur

elementary school?

That's it.

# Gently down the stream #

# Merrily, merrily,

merrily, merrily #

# Life is but a dream... ##

Hi, kids.

I know you usually have

assembly on Fridays,

but today is special.

Mr. Lambert here

is from the Fire Department.

Today he wants us to practice

a brand-new fire drill.

I want you to divide in half.

Half of you go over here

and line up against the wall.

The other half go

in this direction.

Do it very quietly

and very quickly.

Everybody up, please.

Teachers, please help them.

Fire drill, my ass.

The Fire Department...

Maybe it's because of the radio.

You mean,

like they're after us?

Tommy squealed on us.

No, he didn't.

Come on.

Where you going?

Let me drive!

Go! Go!

Goddammit!

Of course he put the bomb

up in that school.

Why would he do that?

To get your complete attention.

Find the fuse panel.

What?

Where's the fuse panel?

Pull out the antilock-brakes fuse.

Which one is it?

Yank them all out.

Put your head down.

Put your head f***ing down.

Listen to me.

Hang the f*** on,

all right?

What the f*** happened?

You got a "Triple-A" card?

Keep moving.

Keep moving.

I've got the janitors

making a last sweep of the building.

Thank you, Miss Martinez.

Come on.

All right.

Stay down.

Stay low.

Oh, man.

What are you doing?

Interrogating him.

What's he going

to tell you?

I won't know

till I ask him.

See if there's aspirin

in that glove box.

No way. You do it.

The guy in the dump truck

had 10 quarters.

Exactly 10 quarters.

Maybe they were making

long-distance phone calls.

No.

They're for the bridge,

it's for the toll

on the bridge.

There! There!

Down on the wharf-

dump trucks.

Right there.

Right there.

They got it loaded

on a ship already.

Sh*t!

How about the Coast Guard?

Take them an hour

to get here.

Sh*t!

We can jump.

What?

It's 100 feet

down to the deck.

But not to the crane.

The cables would

cut you in half.

I can make it.

Get down.

Look in the car for some gloves.

Six booby traps,

four dead ends,

#And a partridge

in a pear tree ##

O.K., honey...

let's dance.

We're going to have a race.

When I say "go,"

run like crazy.

Follow the police officer

and the firemen.

Walter, I think we're cutting this

a little thin.

No. We're going to wait.

McClane still

may get the code.

Line me up

with that crane.

Right there.

You're O.K.

This will take a miracle.

Keep your fingers crossed.

You almost got it.

Yeah! All right.

Where you going?

You in a hurry?

I'm going first this time.

We have the intercom rigged, sir.

Walter, the kids may be fine,

But you wait much longer

and I'll pee

in my pants.

We're going to wait,

Connie.

Six more minutes.

Yo.

McClane.

Down there.

Oh, sh*t.

Go, man.

Go. Go. Go.

Aah!

Aah!

Whoa!

Ohh...

Boy, am I glad

you talked me

out of jumping.

F***.

Get his feet.

You go find Simon

and beat the f***ing

code out of him.

Here. Take this.

How's it work?

You don't know how

to shoot a gun?

All brothers don't know

how to shoot guns.

Yank back on that,

pull the trigger.

That's it?

Just don't shoot yourself.

Hey. Don't be no hero.

You find him, come get me.

Stupid!

Stupid!

You have the autopilot set?

Yes, sir.

Good.

Don't f***ing move.

Oh, the samaritan.

Give me the goddamn code.

Code?

Oh.

You mean for the school.

I'm sorry.

I can't do that.

You call in that code

right now,

or I blow your sick ass

into the next world.

If that's what

you got to do...

You've got to take

the safety catch off.

Ugh!

God!

See? That works.

Now where's McClane?

Nicht schiessen!

What was that?

He said, " Don't shoot. "

O.K., Charlie, we'll have to go

with the evacuation.

We're going to go.

You heard the man!

Let's go!

We're going to go.

On my mark...

go!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Let's do it.

O.K., gang. Let's go!

Go! Go! Go!

Hip-hop! Hip-hop!

Run! Run! Run! Run!

We're going to win!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Let's go! Keep moving!

Hurry up!

Ugh!

Keep going!

Look what they doing.

Yo! Where you going?

- What's going on?

- Where you going?

I see you all day,

little man,

policeman...

and you don't go away.

I'm like that f***ing

Energizer bunny.

Where you going now, huh?

Going to arrest me, bunny?

Huh?

I think I'm going rest.

I'm kind of weak.

I knew it was bullshit.

There's nobody watching.

Time to get Charlie out.

Time's up.

Give me another 30 seconds.

It takes a minute 15

if you're a kid.

Last I looked,

you weren't too light on your feet.
